Last PDF of 2007, and it's GURPS doozy!

Paul · 12-26-2007, 08:36 PM

Tomorrow, we'll be uploading the last PDF release of 2007. It's by a Mystery Author, and the topic is Deep and Dark. Actually, not that much – but it's been something he's been looking forward to doing for quite some time.

This release is something a bit different for GURPS – instead of a traditional supplement (like the excellent Changing Times and Shell-Tech), this product takes the system and pushes the envelope (a bit like the superb Supers). GURPS has the potential for genres far beyond those grounded in realism, and this author has taken the first steps in that direction.

(No, it isn't licensed, nor is it anything that's "long-awaited." Sorry. And yes, I may be over-inflating the importance and/or long-term effects of this singular release. But I see the spark of something special here, and I like it.)

If you're magnetically attracted to this release, either because you've figured out the title/author, or because of my magical marketing (ha!), keep hitting refresh on the e23 front page through the mid-day tomorrow (Thursday December 27). If you're just "interested," watch Friday's Daily Illuminator and this week's Pyramid (containing the Designer's Notes for this product).
