Re: The 2020 Digital W23 Speculation and Discussion Thread
Its a campaign setting!
PCs are sanitation workers in the USA's second-largest city. They gradually become aware of Dark (and Stinky) Forces that menace not only their own livelihoods in garbage collection, restaurant waste inspection, and sewer maintenance, but also the safety of the entire metroplex. Giant White Sewer Alligators will, of course, take up half the book. And the climactic battle will take place on an ice rink, between one of those and the PCs on a hijacked Zamboni.

Then Gaming Ballistic got its licence and we added third party distribution categories. I also feel that having the list is a bonus for those looking at prior years to see what and how many supplements were published. It winds up taking me less than a minute to post (copy/paste) from the category outputed by Rogers program, so I feel is useful enough compared to the effort and time taken.

Re: The 2020 Digital W23 Speculation and Discussion Thread
I wonder why a lot of short GURPS supplements by different authors are being prepared as a batch? An obvious possibility is that they are stretch goals for a Kickstarter project, but I have no idea what the core of that project might be.

A lot of the office was out of the office and not all work could be done from home. I think that art and layout simply got backed up and since they were several short items Nikki was able to knock themut pretty quickly once she was in the office.

Re: The 2020 Digital W23 Speculation and Discussion Thread
Actually, I'm almost sure I remember a mention at the recent FnordCon of plans specifically for a Kickstarter of a dozen or so short GURPS supplements.
I'll be interested to see whether they let backers do lower-level pledges and pick rewards a-la-carte (instant market research!) or whether everyone will have to go all-in so that the more popular titles subsidize the more "niche-interest" ones.

We haven't hear anything on David Pulver's two GURPS items in a long time either, so maybe those?

Making a few assumptions, I count this even dozen: two Action titles (by Fisher and Punch); a Boardroom and Curia supplement (by Steven Marsh?); four Dungeon Fantasy pieces (by dell'Orto, Punch, Punch, and Riggsby); a Hot Spot (by Riggsby); a Magic treatise (by Punch); a Monster Hunters manual (by Rice: is it "Knight-3"?); a Steampunk contrivance (by Masters); and Template Toolkit 3 (by Punch). Id snap those all up in a heartbeat. And they look like a pretty good spread of the generally described mental "market share" for GURPS as a whole. But why Kickstarter, if theyre already sinking the costs for writing, layout, and production? Does Kickstarter offer wider "advertising" exposure than a simple W23 release? Or will lower pledge levels allow a straightforward bit of "market research" to see what people will actually buy?
