So there is a chance for my GURPS Cooking proposal?

(Srsly, though, this sounds like a very cool, very useful book.)

Is there a way to view the table of contents?

EDIT: It preview had been a snake, I would have been dead. It was RIGHT THERE.

It's in the preview PDF (linked under the Add To Crate button).

On the Warehouse 23 product page, there should be a link to the preview.

Similarly, from the main website page, there should be a link along the lefthand column to the preview. In both cases, the full ToC (and index) should be included... along with some sample pages, to get a sense of the supplement.

EDIT: Accursed Riggsbian Ninja!

Is there anything in this that is of use to an experienced GURPS GM?

I've skimmed it, read some parts completely, and it's good. Even for an experienced GM, although of course the usefulness will vary depending on experience level.

Yes, most of it. This isn't just newbie advice -- it's a distillation of all the advice given here on the forums, with almost half of the book being direct quotes of advice that Kromm has given (here) on a wide variety of topics, and the other half being Mook's carefully thought out walkthroughs, further explanations, etc.

Basically, if Kromm is Word of God, then this book is the GURPS Talmud: a compilation of direct scriptural quotes wrapped up in an excellent concordance that adds detail and explanation where needed and also walks the reader through everything s/he needs to understand what's going on.

I'm a pretty experienced GM overall and a midlevel trained GURPS GM and I consider it a good investment and I'm only about 20 pages in.

I am totally recommending for a new GM to GURPS its the book we needed to convince newbies for years. :)

That certainly puts a twist on the term "canon."

This looks good. I'll pick it up sometime next week.
