So, how great is Kromm anyway? - Page 343

To stem really crazy speculation that could lead to hard feelings: Nobody has guessed correctly. The project in question is one that has been written and edited for some time now, unlike, say, Vehicle Design (still in the writing process) or Girl Genius (not even outlined yet!). It isn't anything high-profile . . . it's something flying under the radar that really deserved to get to publication long before now.

Going from the e23 release speculation thread...

GURPS High-Tech: Adventure Guns (by Hans-Christian Vortisch) - Has this been on the burner for long? I don't remember it having been on hold for an extensive time.
Unnamed GURPS Project (by Warren Wilson) - This is a possibility, as last we heard of it it was awaiting art back in 2010.
GURPS Armourer's Handbook (by unknown) - Highly unlikely. Doesn't fit Kromm's description at all unless someone's been writing stuff and we haven't been hearing about it.
GURPS Bestiary (by unknown) - Last known update was in 2010, but I didn't think that this was even going to be published as a 4e book. Another highly unlikely one.
Unknown GURPS 4th edition conversion (by Jason “PK” Levine) - A definite possibility if this hasn't been released yet, as an edited draft was submitted three years ago.
Unnamed Project (by unknown; A book about what to do in your vehicle (vs. vehicle design). - Haven't heard anything about it other than this, so doubtful.

"Flying under the radar" makes me think of good ol' Flight 13, which has yet to make it to e23 in any form (either its original or a 4e conversion). But the rest of the comment makes it sound like this would be the item's first publication, so I guess haunted Austin will have to wait a little longer. :)

I don't know what it should be called, but if we tweet about it, we should be sure to use hash tags.
