Speculation: e23 GURPS releases for the rest of 2009.
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)! September Gun Fu - Released 10-Sep Pyramid #3/11: Cinematic Locations - Released 17-Sep Thaumatology: Alchemical Baroque - Released 24-Sep October (5x Thursdays) GURPS Classic: Mecha - Released 01-Oct Spaceships 5 : Exploration and Colony Spacecraft - Released 08-Oct Car Wars Compendium - Released 15-Oct Pyramid 3#12 - Tech & Toys - Released 22-Oct DF 7 : Clerics - Released 29-Oct November (3x Thursdays and 1 Wednesday!) IW:IST (Free), Range Ruler (Free), CW Ex6 - Released 05-Nov Spaceships 6 : Mining and Space Industry - Released 12-Nov Pyramid 3#13 - Thaumatology, In Nomine Superiors: Zadkiel - Released 19-Nov Thaumatology: Urban Magics - Released 25-Nov December WWII : Red Tide - Released 03-Dec GURPS Classic: Traveller: Alien Races 2, Car Wars City Blocks and In Nomine: Liber Canticorum - Released 10-Dec Pyramid 3#14 - Martial Arts, In Nomine: Game Master's Guide, DF 8 : Treasure Tables - Released 10-Dec ?? SJG closed for Christmas - don't expect a release. ?? SJG closed for Christmas - don't expect a release. Other items which have been mentioned but seem unlikely to arrive before 2010!

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 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! |

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?
