Good morning, afternoon, and evening!

We're doing some database and other light server maintenance this weekend (upgrading the version of MySQL we use in particular, but also probably doing some CDN work.)

I expect all of this to be pretty invisible except for some small "couple of minute" blips as we switch between machines, but there's a chance you will notice something untoward. I'll keep an eye on comments as per usual.

Ta for now!

This week is named Robin. The news:

• The cat is out of the bag! My Sekrit Project of late has been the GURPS Basic Set, Fourth Edition Revised. Steve mentioned it at Gamehole Con. It has a thread here.

• We got Bill Stoddard's GURPS Infinite Worlds: Gotterdammerung ready for release next week.

• I worked with writers to advance GURPS Hot Spots: Victorian London and GURPS Ring of Fire, among other things, like David Pulver's as-yet-unnamed project.

• A first draft arrived in house, which I will review . . . yeesh, after all that!

Current Mood: working

DW is seeing some issues due to today's Amazon outage. For right now it looks like the site is loading, but it may be slow. Some of our processes like notifications and journal search don't appear to be running and can't be started due to rate limiting or capacity issues. DW could go down later if Amazon isn't able to improve things soon, but our services should return to normal when Amazon has cleared up the outage.

Edit: all services are running as of 16:12 CDT, but there is definitely still a backlog of notifications to get through.

Edit 2: and at 18:20 CDT everything's been running normally for about the last hour.

This week is named Romulus. The news:

• I threw myself into the Sekrit Project that's pressing because we want the rules aspects of it done this month.

• I worked hard with Bill Stoddard to solve the remaining rules puzzles in the final draft of GURPS Ring of Fire.

• Alden Loveshade's GURPS Hot Spots: Victorian London left playtesting and is now with Alden to create the final draft.

• I worked with David Pulver to get rules sorted out in the first draft of his latest project.

• We have settled the GURPS schedule for 2026, and have things slated for 9 out of 12 months, with 1d reserve items to cover gaps or early 2027.
