Another thing of mine is on Kickstarter. Buy now! Or something.
Steve Jackson Games is running another Kickstarter for a
disparate set of short (10-ish page) PDF supplements to GURPS: for a
small pledge, you get as many as are unlocked when the campaign ends,
potentially twelve (five at the time of writing). They mostly build
on other supplements, rather than using the basic set alone.
One of these pieces (which isn't guaranteed to be in the bundle but
may well show up later) is my own Space Atlas: Grissom, a solar
system intended for a planet-hopping SF campaign or usable on its own.
There are mysteries for foreigners to poke at, and deeper mysteries
for locals.
In format it's something betweeen the old Space Atlas books (where
each system got a page of text and another page of map plus notes) and
the Planetary Survey books for GURPS Traveller which gave 30+
pages to a single system. You get not just astrography but culture,
including the way the locals think and behave, and how to spot one in
a crowd. It's very rules-light: I think I used one actual GURPS rule
in the whole thing, though there are plenty of real measurements that
can be used in any game, in the GURPS tradition. (All right, most of
them are US measure, as required by their editorial standards.)
All twelve PDFs that may be available have already been laid out and
are ready to go, so delays are unlikely.
Other items are available for larger pledges, including last year's
PDF Challenge and Pyramid volumes – and I have pieces in both of
those too. There are some physical rewards available, but only for
customers in the USA.
The
Kickstarter
ends on Monday, 19 July.
