So, how great is Kromm anyway?

All the emphasized by me. When I read that first, especially the Kickstarter bit, I thought 2022 GURPS Pyramid Scheme but it is not secret, has been announced and would it be considered large?

The secret project is the 23,000,000-page supplement, GURPS: Everything That's Not Already in a GURPS Book. It will only be available in hardback, and only written in the Yrth language of Aralaise.

Then again, I could be lying.

Seriously, I don't know what the "large-but-secret project" is, but am very curious to find out!

That long?! Between 3e and 4e, what's really left to cover? LOL

We don't have GURPS Economics yet . . .

Wish the speculation thread was still around. I'm wondering if its another Powered by GURPS project, those are long but after DFRPG I wonder which Kromm specifically would like to write.

I don't own GURPS Low Tech Companion 3 (yet), could one extrapolate its content to higher TLs?

I wouldn't try to do the job by extrapolating. I would rather try to find actual data from the respective historical periods. But in any case LTC3 doesn't provide anything like a comprehensive economic model. No GURPS book does that.

Here's hoping it's Mailanka's Psi-Wars boxed set! (a pipe dream, I know...)

In any case, I think I'll leave well enough alone. I've read a little Mises and Keynes, and they'd make for dull gaming.

Aside from GURPS Econiomics and GURPS Horticulture, the rest could be covered in a 32-pages supplement I reckon.

I would be absolutely floored if it was something that big! Delighted, but floored. I just realised, what about a GURPS PDF challenge 2022? Has it been announced? Not sure it would qualify as "large".
