Mantis, you've done an admirable job of not bragging onlist, but I am dying
to know when the GURPS New Sun books will be out. I went to the Steve
Jackson site, and they said it is due in December. Is it still on course?
Can you give us a better sense of the actual date (before Christmas, after
Christmas, etc.)?

Yeah! Any chance of an advance opportunity to purchase a copy for those of
us on this list?

Also, any further word on the alleged SoT video game?  I have mixed feelings
about this commercialization of Wolfe's work, but find myself compelled to
buy, buy, buy!

Ron Hale-Evans and Jim Henley,

Thank you both for your kind words.

We don't want to clutter up these places with gaming questions and
comments, but I'm sure there are other places (especially over at the
SJGames pages) where discussion would be welcome.

And of course corrections for GURPS New Sun should be sent to Michael
Bowman <bowman at pyramid.sjgames.com>

(I don't know if they have posted an errata sheet yet.)

Having said that, I don't have much else to say, other than I hope you (Ron
and Jim) and other people who get GURPS New Sun will take this opportunity
to dabble in the world of Urth, writing new Wolfean scenarios, adventures,
rules additions, or anything else, and sending it to SJGames for possible
publication in their well-paying online magazine "Pyramid."

That would make me happy.

I also don't think it's a good idea to clutter the list with GURPS stuff,
but maybe it wouldn't be amiss if you passed on a couple of anecdotes from
New Sun campaigns that have already happened, either yours or those of
playtesters. As I recall, _GURPS New Sun_ was in playtest for a year or
more.

I've also been subscribed to this list since the beginning at my non-errata
address, bvmi at odin.cc.pdx.edu

> (I don't know if they have posted an errata sheet yet.)

I haven't posted anything yet, but I hadn't received any errata submissions
for the book when last I checked, and haven't had time to read my copy.
