Isn't Hot Spots: Sriwijaya further along in the production queue? I’d expect that title to take the December release slot.

Infinite Worlds: Nightreign also went into editing earlier than DF Denizens: Thieves, but the latter probably gets to use more existing art. That said, Vehicles: Biremes and Triremes went into editing at the same time as Thieves, and Kromm both specifically mentioned it and showed a bit of clip art at the recent FnordCon.

So I'd put Thieves second or third down the line.

Agreed, I had anticipated Hot Spots coming out this week which could let another in Dec. I think DF: Thieves is now a Dec or Jan release.

It also seems like a good title to use as a potential add-on for the January Pyramid Scheme on Kickstarter. Lots of possibilities!

Another prior kickstarter release on W23!
How to be a GURPS GM: Ritual Path Magic

Anyone know why GURPS Tactical Shooting: Extreme Conditions hasn't been released yet? I know it's gone through playtesting and was back to Hans for final edits almost 2 years ago.

Remember that release order changes daily. It's randomized by editors being handed other projects, writers needing extra time for final fixes, marketing decisions, etc. "First in, first out" isn't and has never been the rule.

Understood - just pretty excited about it eventually coming out, and noticed it's been in the hopper for quite a while.

Hope it can eventually see the light of day!

Related to that. Has that Tactical Shooting book been unusually long in that pile?

GURPS HotSpots: Sriwijaya is out!
Also GURPS Girl Genius final version is now out.

(Since we don't have a 2022 thread yet….)

I suspect the Pyramid Scheme Kickstarter will run 10–21 January.

So, the question is, will Nightreign be edited and through production by 27 January, or will it be a February release?

And when is Kromm going to spill the beans on his four-month-long writing project?
