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 was just in Vegas doing a game-store-crawl/dredge
and nearly fell flat when I saw that New Sun was out.
But was I able to get one in SandyEggo where I had a
giftcert? NOOOOOO! Will I be able to find one in
Denver (these are the people that told me that they
were going to hold of until Feb to order it from the
catalog because 'SJGames is always late anyhow'! )?
AERGH!

I loathe being patient...;->
