GURPS Spaceships 5: Boldly Going

The Fox · 10-08-2009, 09:45 AM

David Pulver wrote another book! He helpfully titled it GURPS Spaceships 5: Exploration and Colony Spacecraft so that people would know what it's about. And he's such a great guy that he decided to give it to us to sell rather than fawning over it in a cave while muttering about how precious it is. So lets all show Pulver what a swell guy we think he is by throwing lots and lots of money at him.

Bought it the moment I saw it.

I did notice a little error in it - looks like whoever did the final layout forgot to update the internal page references. There's lot of (see p. 00)s around.

Money already transiting at a mix of sublight and light speed!

Oh, dear. In that case, I can wait for version 1.1...

*shrug* It's not a big deal, and if you buy now you'll get the revised edition for free whenever it's released. One of the many benefits of PDFs!

Well, I don't need this PDF yet. (Spaceships 7 is the one I'll buy the day it comes out. This one is a "nice to have", not a "must have".)

Thanks for the heads-up... we'll see if we can't get those pesky p. 00's killed in the next day or so!

Ditto on being anxious for Spaceships 7, but I scooped up 5 as as soon as I saw it anyways. Oh wait, is 7 the one for alien spaceships? That's the one I'm really looking forward to.

I didn't think that this would be one of my favorites of the series, but it is. David went into a lot of detail on TL8-to-early-TL9 realistic moon and Mars exploration. There's everything one needs to run an early-days-of-system-exploration campaign or to run a full-on Star Trek "boldly going where no one has gone before" (not that the show focused on that all that much) campaign.

Spaceships 5 and Ryan Wolfe's excellent new Future Armada on the same day?!

Surely, my spaceship cup runneth over.
