Default No February release?

So here we are, the last day of February, and we still have no non-Pyramid GURPS book for the month. Are we simply not getting one? Am I just being stupid?

Would be nice to get confirmation from Kromm or PK about whether this has any effect on future expectations of release schedule.

Fair Point. I guess I underestimated them since I don't buy physical books anymore.

This thread shows the current releases.
So we had no GURPS release other than Pyramid this month but as was pointed out 2 last month and we had 2 Ogre digital releases this month plus more POD books. Those take some editing resources as well.

I would not call this a significant marker on future releases. however Kromm has been tied up with the DFRPG so that is one GURPS editor down for quite some time. Sounds like he is wrapping up his major works on those so maybe he comes back to action soon. Also one or more freelances are also likely tied up in that projects stretch goals.

Our primary GURPS focus must be on completing Dungeon Fantasy. This means:

* Shipping the product to print.
* Finishing the stretch goal PDFs.
* Finalizing the related Pyramid issues.
* Producing marketing materials for the Dungeon Fantasy retail launch.
* Prepping intro materials for our MIB program.

Anything not Dungeon Fantasy is secondary at this time.

At least you're getting Pyramid every month. It's been 86 months since we saw a new book for In Nomine, and I've lost track of when Toon last got any support.

Heh. I had a suspicion this was the case. Nice to see it confirmed. Alright, those of us who want non-DF material: TO THE BLOGS! Tallyho!

I guess I can't really complain about not having to set aside as much money for GURPS product this year.

Speaking of which is there any news on when we can expect the first DF pyramid?
