GURPS Monster Hunters: what will you do with it?

[tg_ambro]

Would it be possible to get a rough estimate, or at least some cryptic hints as to how many pages each book will be? I'd settle for some "Larger than Gibbering Mass, but smaller than a Chthonic Horror" kinda stuff.

Just run another competition.

e.g. What is the proposed title for MH5?
My guess: MH Monster Powers

MH1: Larger than a breadbox.
MH2: About a breadbox.
MH3: About a breadbox.
MH4: Smaller than a breadbox.

MH5: PK Hasn't Decided Which Part Of The Series Will Need More Attention At This Point And Is Waiting To See How The First Four Books Are Received Before Deciding . . . or MH5: PHDWPOTSWNMAATPAIWTSHTFFBARBD for short.

These seem really unlikely unless you choose to print them with 200 point type or something. A typical breadbox is 2 ft^3 or so.

We could try to guess the point totals for Champions (300) and Sidekicks (150). Or we could try to guess how many templates are in Champions (6) or what they are called (Stalker, Investigator, Hunter, Turncoat, Mage, Hacker) or something.

I use nonstandard bread, so . . .

No fair pre-guessing on your own suggestions! :)

Tell you what -- I'll decide on a good time-waster this weekend. Bump this thread if I haven't come up with something by Monday.

We talking about pumpernickel here? Amish Friendship Bread? What? Give the bread-enthusiasts on the boards a hint! ;)

Great book! In many ways, it inspired this whole series.

Does that mean the existing Load Outs will still be a useful tool in combination with the new upcoming MH-Volumes? Would be nice... :)

And: Do you also cover Techlevels 6-8 and their differences in the MH-Series like it is done in the Load Outs or are there other assumptions about TL or...?

Very, very thin loaves apparently (unless MH1-3 are longer than even the basic set). If we compare a typical breadbox with a standard loaf, and assume that MH2 and 3 are no more than 32 page pdfs; I think we'd end up with a loaf a few microns thick.

Leavine bread? *ducks*
