Busy? I thought he was underfunded and thus keenly interested in being paid to perform work?

If David wants to discuss his personal finances, he is welcome to do so in a thread of his own creation. That subdiscussion is off-topic and closed.

Maybe Roger Burton West is actually the same guy as David Pulver, but I really doubt it. Maybe Jason and David are the same guys, for that matter! Maybe you are all the same guy and this is an elaborate hoax on me, but I don't think that's the case. If you don't think Phoenix Project is the answer, then fine, but I don't see the point of arguing against my guess without making one of your own.

SP, I'm a little confused by the fact that, above, you were quoting me talking about the Warren Wilson project (where I said we've leaked status updates about it). But then it got conflated into the "Unknown PK 4e conversion" project. I just wanted to clarify that Warren Wilson and I are not the same person, and thus, those are two different books. :)

Oh, I misunderstood. I thought you were talking about your conversion project. My guess still stands. I don't have a guess for the Warren Wilson project.

I don't think I am David, but I would say that wouldn't I? Certainly we have never been seen in the same place at the same time.

What if you are David but you don't know you're David? I think **** just got Galactica'ed...

I've never seen the two of you in the same room...

(Then again, I've never seen you and Batman in the same room... :-P)

Up at the top of the thread, we see listed:

Looking at the current wish list, though, "Alternate GURPS III" and "Military Sci-Fi" have disappeared. It seems pretty clear that March's theme will still be "Action", but could those other two have jumped forward to April and May? Or does RPK's comment about a surprise to speculators mean something totally out of left field? (Could some of Kromm's busy writing be Pyramid tent pole articles rather than independent supplements?

Ah, the mystery.

[Christopher R. Rice]

I'm going to keep the list as it stands currently. I've asked Kromm if he would be willing to post how the 'process' works so I can better define the categories under the speculation. Still waiting to hear about that.

I do wonder what's gonna pop out today. My gut says probably action but with something of a surprise.
