More Money! More Tech!

I don't know if my personal wealth has gone up 50%, but global wealth sure has.


Are we living in a new age of tech? maybe. Its not TL9 as described, but predictions of the future are hard.

I guess it's time for GURPS 5th ed. then. :)

(I'm 100% satisfied with GURPS 4th ed. and the above joke is not intended to encourage SJGames to publish a 5th ed. of GURPS.)

On the flip side, keep in mind all your technological skills will suddenly be obsolete! So if you want training to still be able to use a computer, cell phone, etc.? Send me just half of that 50% increase! Spread the word!

Seriously, back in Third Edition days, I created a tongue-in-cheek GURPS adventure. That was with Third Edition's TL7 to TL8 change of 2000-2001. It was a lot of fun.

So thanks to Steve for spreading the fun! (Not that our Editor-in-Chief hasn't been doing that for decades. So thanks, Chief!)

Somebody (cough) started a thread about this in the GURPS forum.

And it's not just because Steve Jackson mentioned my name in the Daily Illuminator. Really. Truly. Believe Me.
