Low Tech Companions

[cjbeiting]

A question or three about the plans for the proposed "GURPS Low Tech Companion" series.

First, a word of encouragement--these sound very interesting, and I'm glad they're being proposed. One of my favorite elements of GURPS has always been the historical books, and I've missed them in 4th edition. I know they never sold well, but I always thought they were something that GURPS did exceptionally well. The "Low Tech Companion" proposals sound like a welcome return to a big strength of GURPS.

Second, a question about what will be in them. Are there plans for these works to revive and revise some of the character templates that were in things like GURPS Warriors or Rogues, or the unofficial GURPS Historical Folks? I ask because I never realized how useful these works were until GURPS Age of Napoleon was released, and it made reference to templates in GURPS Warriors along with notes on how to customize them to a Napoleonics-era setting. This method proved to be a great space-saver, and one I'd love to see happen again.
