[New Release] GURPS Urban Magics: Hey, I'm Castin' Here!
Here's GURPS Urban Magic, released a day early so as not to collide with Turkey Day. For those who have seen turkey collisions, you know why this is a good thing.

How many pages is it? (I thought page number was sort of a standard part of the description but this one doesn't have it).

I notice that Bill selected the same Gilbert and Sullivan lyric I (much later) suggested for Treasure Tables. Fortunately, the editor didn't have room to fit that one into the rough PDF and I don't expect to see it in the final. Which is good; it'd be like wearing the same dress to an awards ceremony.

Re: [New Release] GURPS Urban Magics: Hey, I'm Castin' Here!
There was no "retitling," really. The release title differs from the working title, but many projects have short working titles. For instance, GURPS Power-Ups 1: Imbuements was simply GURPS Imbuements while it was being written, reviewed, edited, and laid out. We do this a lot. There's no specific mandate to call everything with magic in it a GURPS Thamatology item, though.

Hi,
I find it funny, how you've brought me to make the first thing coming home after work is looking if there's a new GURPS title on e23. And even more funny how pretty, exciting and useful the stuff is. Keep up that good work, I love it. Soon today I will browse through Urban Magics... ;)
