Re: GURPS After the End 1: Wastelanders
Like Mailanka, I'm reserving final judgement until Book 2 is out.
Like Dungeon Fantasy 1 and Action 1, this book is geared to groups that do less fiddling with their characters, have difficulty covering all the bases, or keep stepping on each others toes during character creation and advancement — which is great when you're trying to convert people over from That Other Game, I'll admit. The wealth rules bother me for some reason I can't define and I'll need to consider them longer. Things from this book that I do like: RP and LFP, wholeheartedly. RP simplify the radiation rules in a fantastic way, and LFP get rid of a bunch of bookkeeping for no loss in fun. Overall, I think book 2 is going to have the real meat of the series, for me. |

Every campaign framework but Action has been controversial because the former use is so fixed. Want a serious, low-key DF game? DF is not for you. Want Supernatural? MH is not for you. Want Little House on the Irradiated Prairie? After the End is not for you. But that doesn't mean you can't strip mine these for the game that you want, as they often have really good ideas! I suspect one reason that Action is so uncontroversial is, I suspect, that nobody actually runs it straight, and everyone just adapts it or steals from it. So I never worry too much about a Framework writer having a different perspective than I do. I would note that the intent of works like GURPS Y2K and GURPS Fantasy is exactly to allow the sort of thing you're talking about: Different campaign perspectives. But GURPSers are voting with their wallets and choosing Frameworks over Workbooks.

Sounds like a Pyramid article . . .

I knew it. There is a Ghostdancer quota to be met.

Re: GURPS After the End 1: Wastelanders
How come you didn't release 1 & 2 at the same time?

Re: GURPS After the End 1: Wastelanders
I don't think SJG has released 2 new GURPS PDFs on the same day, ever (exception of the Basic Set). I'm not sure they have the human resources to do that, unless they want to skip releasing anything and making us all wait until the second one is done.

Re: GURPS After the End 1: Wastelanders
Treat us mean, keep us keen!
Or more seriously it keeps with the current GURPS release schedule so probably fits in better with the behind the scenes mechanisms of getting these releases out. It might not be at the exact same point in the process anyway. But maybe if it is ready to go next week which would normally be a "no release week" (never liked them) we'll have it then.
