"the USPS is a miracle. it's in the constitution. for the price of a single stamp you can send a letter across the country, from Hawaii to Maine. Trump is trying to take that away from you. He's attacking Christmas cards and wedding invitations. It's un-American and it has to stop."

This week is named Sona. The news:

• The GURPS Basic Set, Fourth Edition Revised took further steps toward the printer, though it isn't there yet.

• I am presently checking the text of – and selecting art and quotes for – the preliminary PDF of GURPS Action 10.

• I accepted another final draft that I cannot name yet . . . into the editorial queue with that!

• I reviewed queries from a well-known GURPS freelancer.

• We shuffled and (hopefully!) finalized the 2026 release schedule. The GURPS News in late December will reflect this.

• There were long meetings.

Hello, friends! It's about to be December again, and you know what that means: the fact I am posting this actually before December 1 means [staff profile] karzilla reminded me about the existence of linear time again. Wait, no -- well, yes, but also -- okay, look, let me back up and start again: it's almost December, and that means it's time for our annual December holiday points bonus.

The standard explanation: For the entire month of December, all orders made in the Shop of points and paid time, either for you or as a gift for a friend, will have 10% of your completed cart total sent to you in points when you finish the transaction. For instance, if you buy an order of 12 months of paid time for $35 (350 points), you'll get 35 points when the order is complete, to use on a future purchase.

The fine print and much more behind this cut! )

Thank you, in short, for being the best possible users any social media site could possibly ever hope for. I'm probably in danger of crossing the Sappiness Line if I haven't already, but you all make everything worth it.

On behalf of Mark, Jen, Robby, and our team of awesome volunteers, and to each and every one of you, whether you've been with us on this wild ride since the beginning or just signed up last week, I'm wishing you all a very happy set of end-of-year holidays, whichever ones you celebrate, and hoping for all of you that your 2026 is full of kindness, determination, empathy, and a hell of a lot more luck than we've all had lately. Let's go.

This week is named Diego. The news:

• We did our "premortem" of the GURPS Basic Set, Fourth Edition Revised. Eight of us met to hash out final fixes before the files go to the printer.

• We made progress on art and cartography for GURPS Ring of Fire.

• I spent a lot of time helping two Sekrit Projekts make progress.

• I posted the GURPS News for November.

To those of you in the U.S.A.: Happy Thanksgiving!
