Oh man, perfect for my upcoming GURPS Dark*Matter game (which is very much like Illuminati)! Does this kind of replace Illuminati or is that older book still useful?

Not that familiar with Illuminati but I still feel safe enough saying no. The example organizations are interesting but mostly included as examples. No comprehensive coverage of anything.

Now, if you want to be able to compare the relative incomes of Cosimo Medici and Al Capone it's covered. :)

Does this volume include any details on using the resulting organizations with GURPS Social Engineering: Pulling Rank?

Wellll... I do note that the Index lists one mention of Pulling Rank... and the page it mentions also happens to be one of the sample pages offered.

Oh, it's silly to assume I would check the preview, Steven. (Second time tonight I could have answered my own question by clicking a provided link.)

That's okay; I love those kinds of questions, because they're so easy to answer! :-)

Happy birthday to me,
Happy birthday to me.
Happy birthday dear meeee.
Happy birthday to me.

Seriously, one of my favorite things is incorporating cities, nations, and organizations into a game and rules support for these sorts of things is probably my favorite part of GURPS.

I'm going to have to peruse the rules for a bit to see, but I'm hoping I can kitbash this, some pyramid articles, Social Engineering, and City Stats to make a useable nation-state ruleset.

What does red taste like and how many meeples can you get by trading it to the Borg? :-0

Also, YAY! It's out.

I've already statted up a thieves' guild I've been making for a few weeks (what is a fantasy game world without a thieves' guild, unless Greyhawk isn't out yet?). It's pretty handy. I had the key stats done in about 15 minutes.
