here's an idea, why not do a book with gorns kzinti and hydrans together and call it something like the grand alliance sourcebook.

By Jon Murdock (Xenocide) on Friday, October 12, 2018 - 11:32 pm: Edit

If I remember the felines (Kzinti and Lyran) were supposed to go together. That would leave the Lyrans with their own book.

One division might be to keep the kitties combined (with the LDR) and do the Gorns and Hydrans together but I remember vaguely a plan to put the Paravians in with the Gorn.

It looks like the GURPS Prime Directive revision may be 365 pages long!

Wonderful news.

I have read the first 74 pages
15 alibi mark
23 missing period
31 failure to list Fralli under "horrific appearance "
35 long dash
41 long dash
74 pixelated art

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Wednesday, August 14, 2019 - 11:56 pm: Edit

77 I asked a question
80 pixelated art
82 double space
80-170 lots of N dashes should be M dashes, S&R
114 pixelated art
116-176 lots of charts are badly shaded, did SJG do it?

31 failure to list Fralli under "horrific appearance "

Horrific appearance will give the 24 CP to play with, do you want to give them that many "free" points?

So that's why it took so long. One page per day for an entire year.

SJG doesn't do long dashes.

By Jean Sexton (Jsexton) on Thursday, August 15, 2019 - 12:24 am: Edit

SJG does shaded charts in color. It is the best I can do to emulate them and keep it readable in B&W.

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Thursday, August 15, 2019 - 01:43 am: Edit

I for one would prefer shading on a four line chart to be

Shade
None
Shade
None

But all of your charts are
Shade
Shade
None
None

I copied the charts and the shading pattern from GURPS Basic Set to give GURPS players the look and feel of the game they know.

Then your charts will have to be good.

By A. David Merritt (Adm) on Thursday, August 15, 2019 - 11:48 am: Edit

SJGames printed their Horror hardback in black and white, I've sent Jean a page of charts from it by e-mail. I hope it is helpful.

By Jean Sexton (Jsexton) on Thursday, August 15, 2019 - 03:18 pm: Edit

Our PDF is in color. But the chart you sent does agree that their charts don't alternate shaded unshaded on each line.

By Garth L. Getgen (Sgt_G) on Thursday, August 15, 2019 - 08:43 pm: Edit

Jean, don't let the guys cast shade on you! I'm sure your work is great.

Let me be clear. Listing 12 line items in a 365 page book was outstanding work by her. When it turned out most of those were "things SJG does" and disappeared, it came down to one missed page number and one missed period. That in incredible work by Jean. My posts were meant to show how few mistakes I found, not that there were lots of them. There were very few.

By Michael Grafton (Mike_Grafton) on Friday, August 16, 2019 - 03:19 am: Edit

On shading? I personally prefer every THIRD line.

So you can use the line below the shading, the shading, or the line above the shading. IMHO it is MUCH more "clean" and easier to use. YMMV.

Example sent to Jean...

By Steve Cole (Stevecole) on Friday, August 16, 2019 - 09:09 am: Edit

Jean did what SJG does, as those players are used to it.

The GURPS Prime Directive revision has been sent to Steve Jackson Games!

By A. David Merritt (Adm) on Monday, August 19, 2019 - 10:46 pm: Edit

Huzzahhh!!!!!

By Jean Sexton (Jsexton) on Thursday, August 29, 2019 - 04:11 pm: Edit

Steve Jackson Games has approved it on the first try. They made no suggestions nor did they require revisions.

And yes, I am happy dancing!

By A. David Merritt (Adm) on Thursday, August 29, 2019 - 04:24 pm: Edit

As you should be.
