Now, admittedly, my actual wish is the best writers of SJG writing a supplement that swaps the system to a total of 20-30 skills total and probably deprecates DX/IQ entirely, but I think the three PU offers are a more plausible wish.

Another vote for PU: LogGurps ;)

Afflictions: updated and repriced could use a supplement of its own. It's basically the go to advantage for blessing, cursing, auras, any non-damaging attack.

Gadgeteering is a good suggestion. It can cover Gizmos as well, if there's much more to be said about those.

Also, someone's probably suggested this already, but a deep dive into Allies/Dependents/Patrons/etc. would be interesting. (Or is that a topic for Social Engineering?)

And here's an oddball topic that could go into a book on allies: playing multiple PCs instead of one (as in, "Instead of a high-level PC, can I have two low-level PCs?"). I myself haven't been involved in a game where one player wants to have a handful or a swarm of low-powered PCs, and I don't know how many GMs would even want to allow it, but it'd be interesting to read the thoughts of master GMs on how it can be done.

For this it's really genre dependant... but a look at turning Duplication into a UBC for running multiple Characters and how much the price should change based on the 'Dupe' pool having different stats and skills and not actually being Dupes.

I'm thinking not much price difference.

Both of these would be great.
