Re: GURPS Book List

Related typos:

Nordlond Saga: The Citadel of Nordvorn, not "Norovorn"

Nordlond Saga: Nordlondr Folk, not "Norolondr" (again, the eth is more appropriate, but d is acceptable)

GURPS GM's Screen, not "Screene"

Also, found GURPS Mage: The Ascension in your list. The date should be 1994.

While I'm at it, GURPS Lensman should be dated 1993.

GURPS The Prisoner, surprisingly, does not have a copyright date (that I could find). From internal clues (in its bibliography, it mentions a book published in 1988 and a book scheduled to be published in Fall of 1989), it seems that it was published in 1988 or 1989, probably the latter.

There are about 30 entries where the publishing date was unknown or uncertain. Those, including GURPS MtA, were all down at the bottom of the document. [MtA's date was listed as "Pre 1996?"]

Yup, found it.

For reference, eth is this letter ð, or Ð in upper case.

Again thank you so much for the help! I have a few books listed as "pre 1996?" because I couldn't find a copyright date but I was reasonably sure they were before 3rd edition revised was released.

I have made the updates to my master list and will move them to Google after I make some other updates. I will list The Prisoner as 1989? for now, I am going to see if I can find an ISBN later because that usually gives a copyright date.

I am going to leave them as regular d, just for ease of searching for them. Not sure why I had them all as "o" before.

Re: GURPS Book List

Okay made a few updates, it seems like the Nordlond books aren't released yet as far as I can tell, also added the unreleased Pyramid 4 series to the magazines tab. Got some physical first editions in the mail so added their info too!

I was wondering if anyone knows if GURPS Dark Places was ever actually released? I know it is listed here on the official site, but this doesn't give an ISBN number, PDF or even say physical out of stock. I searched sold on Ebay and it has never been sold on Ebay (though that doesn't necessarily mean anything since GURPS Bili the Axe: Up Harzburk! was first sold on Ebay only last month)

Just seems strange because I can't find any references to it outside of SJG and a Wikipedia book-list (that probably just got the title from SJG).

I don't think so. It is not listed on SJ Games' "Everything We've Ever Released" page, which is normally accurate.

Dunno the details, but it was a planned book sometime in the early 00s (IIRC). Something happened, it got pulled from the pipeline and now it's just a title that never saw daylight.

The cover style and authorship on it are consistent with that. I have thousands of messages from the old sjgames.gurps NNTP forum still in my newsreader, and Dark Places gets mentioned a few time in that in 2004-06 as stalled, but maybe not forever.
