Speculation: e23 GURPS releases for the rest of 2009.

[SCAR]

OK, from Kromm's Another week in the life of GURPS posts on his livejournal, and various posts on these forums we can make some pretty good guesses at what might be on the release schedule for the rest of this year.
We also know that the secret masters of e23 release GURPS goodness on a Thursday. (I can't remember exactly where that piece of news came from.)

Here's my compilation and guesses (and wishes)!

Certainly not this year. Low-Tech ran slightly over the maximum possible word count and needs editing down, the Companions ran from slightly over to absurdly over, and they're all packed with slow-to-edit tables and rules. But I think people will be reasonably pleased with the result.

Thematically, Treasure Tables would seem an appropriate Christmas release.

I like that logic, and I'm sure Fox could find some suitable feed lines for the annoucement!
I'll amend my 'schedule' accordingly.

I should note that, as cool as the idea might be, it has, so far as I know, no basis in reality. Clerics could be equally appropriate (Pick the religious professional of your choice for this holiest of days), and and I don't doubt that coolness of concept has almost no impact on actual schedules.

According to Today's DI, Clerics and Taverns appear to be closer to release than Christmas (fingers crossed), so I speculate/wish for/ask santa for DF.Treasure Tables as the christmas release!

So vehicles isn't scheduled for this year either? Bummer.

Yup! It'll probably be something along the lines of "Go away! It's Christmas! And how did you get this number, anyway?"

The SJG offices typically close down for a while in December. This year, December 18th is the last "we're officially open" day. Almost everything shuts down (W23 does inventory during this time, but just about everything else is hibernating) until Jan 4th. So don't expect anything for December 24th or 31st.

As it happens, I have access to the schedule, and I'm happy to say that you're [REDACTED] percent correct in your guesses.

Was there not another High Tech Guns book after Hans for PDF release, more realistic than the FU one? Or did I miss something?

List updated for no expected release on 24th and 31st December.

Now that I've done that, I know you'll release something for DF then! After all the first installment of DF was released on December 27th 2007!
