Kromm just noted the DF15 is laid out and awaiting art right now.

Here's hoping for a new 4e release today, although I'm not optimistic.
Only 2 new 4e items in 4 months makes me sad. (I'm not counting Pyramid).

In Nomine Release, ahhh, too bad. :-/

You were quite right.

No kidding -- 2 releases, and it sounds like SJG resources for art layout are focused elsewhere. On the one hand, we can't complain since those are SJG's bread & butter. On the other, it makes me feel like GURPS is SJG's screw-up kid living in the basement.

Since the Ogre Kickstarter drive doesn't finish until May 11, and that may well be what's holding up art resources (catching up with the ever-mounting stretch goals!), I won't be unduly surprised by having to wait for a new GURPS release until Thursday, May 17, or even (after the presumable May 24 release of Pyramid #3/43: Alternate GURPS II) May 31.

EDIT: So what will the Classic releases be? In Nomine Anime seems an obvious choice, to be able to trumpet having the entire line back "in print." GURPS Classic: Magic Items 3 or GURPS Classic: Space Atlas 4 would also finish out some existing sets... though I'm sure "tidiness" of releases is hardly the first criterion in converting old files to PDF.

Given that Kromm somewhere said there's about a 3 week lag between when the staff gets their hands on art projects and when a product is released, May 17th now seems rather optimistic, unless all of the artwork is already in place. If that's the start date for GURPS art editing, we won't see anything new until the end of May at the earliest -- probably not 'till June.

While I'd love to see "completed sets", including In Nomine, I already have the items you listed and I don't play In Nomine. New content is what I'm hankering for!

Well, there's only one In Nomine reprint left... then maybe we'll get to see some new In Nomine content!

From your lips to Destiny's ears.

And huzzah! Yes, I like seeing good GURPS content, too, but IN got to feel like a red-headed stepchild for a couple of years; it's good to see even some attention again.

I am still waiting for GURPS:WWII Japan. :(

Refplace · 04-26-2012, 08:49 PM

Missing my GURPS but yeah good for IN they deserve some love too.
We had a real good year last year and there is a lot in the hopper that should be released soon after the Ogre fuss has died down a bit.
There will be a lot of work on getting that out I am sure but I think its probably tying up extra staff resources of the non editing kind at the moment.
Hit all the stretch goals and more though.
