And if I may be honest, it's the new edition of D&D that are pulling people to GURPS. It's not that's bad - in fact it's the reverse! - it's that it's actually much easier to customize characters and people are looking for other system engines to do non-DnD games. Seriously, 5 years ago I don't know if I could have convinced anyone to try GURPS that wasn't in my gaming group, but now it's pretty easy. Word of mouth is spreading and people are getting interested slow, but sure.

Re: Report To The Stakeholders
Is there anything we fans can do to makes these books reality sooner? Preorders? Kickstarter? Selling our grandmothers?

The Kickstarter they did for Ogre (and, I presume, Car Wars?) only was for improvements on the product, not to fund the product itself. It added bells and whistles, but SJ Games doesn't (again, my memory) want to have a project be required to proceed, even if the project turns out to be unprofitable. Once the book is complete, THEN maybe a Kickstarter could be done to improve it. If I recall correction (read the disclaimer I put, above), the license sadly doesn't include digital releases. It's going to be strictly a "dead trees" release... ************* I'm already planning on buying two copies. One for myself and my wife, and one for my Pratchett-loving geeky female cousin. :-)

To be blunt, I think that the Ogre Kickstarter had an unfortunate effect on the company's view of the subject. Every other small-to-medium-sized RPG publisher seems to be jumping into Kickstarter feet first at every opportunity, frequently producing some beautiful books as a result. (The Dracula Dossier is certainly gorgeous, and I'm waiting eagerly on my print copies of Planet Mercenary and Mage 20. And I have a very weak collector gene.) From SJGames, not a sausage. It's sad. You would not believe how unhappy I'd be if this project was killed by contractual end date problems. Not having had an advance in the contract for this one would of course be part of it.

Re: Report To The Stakeholders
I'm glad. It's a well-done book and I'd love to see it ... well, done. :)

Re: Report To The Stakeholders
Why is there financial trouble in getting the book out? Didn't the company budget for the entire process?
