mantis's GURPS book: a review

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I got my copy. I'd caution people that any "errors" they find might
(probably!) come from the publisher rather than the author. Just as a for
instance, the first half of the pictures in the bestiary are mislabeled.
But I hardly think it was mantis who confused a destrier with a balucither.

Absolutely worth having, particularly if one is a gamer. Even if, as in my
case, one is a gamer who does not use GURPS.

Best,


Jim
