Another week in the life of GURPS

This week is named Eddie. The news:

• I submitted the final info needed to get GURPS Action 10 through production.

• I worked on a comprehensive GURPS Basic Set, Fourth Edition Revised FAQ. Where your questions require answers that I simply do not have, I am pestering those who do have them. Stay tuned!

• I devoted time to GURPS-facing Daily Illuminator content about how 2025 went and how I would like 2026 to go. You'll see that when it comes up in the news queue.

• Why yes, there were meetings.

It would've been a more productive week had frozen pipes in my home – which is also my office – not distracted me from it.

Keep Masking. N95s are best but anything helps.

"2. Twenty months later: recovery but not to baseline"

(This means that masking, even after a covid infection, is worthwhile because it will help lower infection from other diseases. Dosage matters! The fewer infectious particles that get into the body, the easier it will be for the immune system. even weakened, to contain them.)

Protect the postal service.

"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."

Another week in the life of GURPS

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.
