Social Engineering
The only gaming supplement with a whole chapter on mobs, from gathering, to inciting riots, to quelling them.
Pick yours up today: http://www.sjgames.com/gurps/books/socialengineering/ There's even a section on how to start a fight, using something more subtle than me using my poor Spanish to say that I like your mother.

Re: Social Engineering
Ooooh, been waiting for this for a long time. Bought it, going to read every single word. No skimming on this one.

Yeeeeesssss!
I was worried this would come out after my current game. Now I get to use it with my social manipulator. |

Re: Social Engineering
After reading through it again, I have to say it's very good. This is essentially all the best parts of the DF and Action guidebooks for how to use skills to accomplish certain goals. In this case, it's specifically about social skills. However, it's organized very well, so you get advice on how to stop or incite a riot, how to get a promotion, or how to inspire a crowd or win an election (or conduct a courtship, or a romance). Quite brilliant, really. Certainly has me thinking of plots for my campaign. There are other nifty features, like the discussion of rank, wealth, and status, and some of the most applicable Perks from Power-Ups. This one gets printed, punched, and put in the folder with the best parts of DF and Action. I'll be referencing it a lot.

Re: Social Engineering
I'm considering getting it once funds allow, but a skim through the preview PDF seems to indicate it'd be of some use to me. Any nitpicks with it so far?
