Dark Places was a part of the Summer of Horror done in the early 2000s so it is possible it was bundled? Probably not though, more likely not released. |

Re: GURPS Book List
Sorry for the double post, but I wanted this to be its own post.
I was interested in this quote on page 3 of Man to Man Quote:
I have a few ideas of ways they might have mentioned GURPS in the early 80s: - Inserts into board games - Other magazines/newsletters released by SJG - Advertisements in other magazines or products, maybe not even SJG - Online Bulletin boards I'd love to see the first mention of GURPS or any mention from before 1985, but I haven't had an luck looking so far. SJG had 4 zines published before-hand: Autoduel Quarterly, Space Gamer, Fantasy Gamer, and Journal of the Travellers' Aid Society. I don't currently checking the covers none of them list GURPS as a highlight article.Though issue 4 of Fantasy Gamer does list "The Solimar Quest: Generic Fantasy Adventure"... probably unrelated, but I may have to get the PDF just to be sure. One funny thing to note, #28 of Space Gamer's cover was reused for GURPS Fantasy's first edition. Last edited by kate_unknown; 01-29-2022 at 04:14 PM. Reason: added part about Space Gamer #28 |

Re: GURPS Book List
GURPS is mentioned in Fantasy Gamer #4, (Feb/Mar 1984), and also in #5. It is also mentioned in Space Gamer #70 (July/August 1984), and all the subsequent issues to the end of the run at #76.

Just remembered that before they released GURPS they thought that would be a working title and that it would be called something else later, so it possible some references may not specifically say GURPS. Quote:
The only other book I can think of right now that is listed but might not exist is "GURPS Prime Directive books for 3e?" I listed this because both SJG and other sources claimed that 3rd edition books exists for GURPS Prime Directive, but I couldn't actually find any sold proof. The 4e books were released so close to 2004 that it could also be a GURPS Dragons situation where the books are considered both 3e and 4e at the same time. I should also mention that this list doesn't cover any releases in other languages. According to Wikipedia there are some interesting Japanese exclusive GURPS books, but since I can't read Japanese trying to sort through information on them would be a nightmare.

I have talked online with other people who said that they had read the Japanese books (in Japanese of course) but I've never heard of any translations. Among other problems with researching these would be that they are quite old now.

Yeah it would be cool to read the Japanese books but too much of an investment, Japanese is hard! Quote:

Re: GURPS Book List
I know I still have it (and one supplement) but I found it disappointing which means it's not in the "active" section and I've lost track of where it is.
