I figure the over/under on time to fund will be about twenty-five minutes. Two hours if they’re actually going to need to fund the entire print run.

The GURPS GIRL GENIUS Kickstarter drops 10/20/21.
I wonder how fast it’ll fund. Depends on the amount, I guess. Anything under twenty grand, blink and you’ll miss it. But if they’re trying to pre-fund a print run, it’ll be higher, and that’ll take longer. Like, say, a day.

Everything in the Steve Jackson Games’ GURPS 2021 PDF Challenge Kickstarter’s unlocked, so if you were waiting for maximum return on your investment then now is the time to back it. It’s all digital, too, so no worries there. One reason why I buy a lot more European RPGs these days…
The ‘Steve Jackson Games’ GURPS 2021 PDF Challenge’ Kickstarter.
The Steve Jackson Games’ GURPS 2021 PDF Challenge is a good deal, as long as enough people sign up to hit all the stretch goals. Which is almost certainly going to happen; so it’s a good deal. There aren’t going to be any physical books here, either.

They’re not yet at the last stretch goal for GURPS Pyramid Scheme, so go for it! I want more goodies for my pledge. It’s all-digital, too, so no worries there.
The Steve Jackson Games’ GURPS 2020 PDF Challenge Kickstarter.
Kinda speculative, but not really. The Steve Jackson Games’ GURPS 2020 PDF Challenge Kickstarter will likely fully fund, although it is on a reduced time-frame. I guess they’re playing around with the platform, seeing what it can do.
Tweets of the Day, This Is What ST 17, Basic Move 8 Looks Like edition.
(Via @Iowahawkblog) Seriously. It’s not exact, but if you want to know what a ST 17, DX 14, HT 18 person in GURPS might look like, here you go. Tristan Wirfs is definitely in that ballpark*.

Scuttle
This martial art is most suitable for those game worlds where every group has their own fighting style. Pirates in particular would be almost forced to develop something that could counter the inscrutable ways of the ninja; after all, the alternative would be to die in a hail of throwing stars. That’s hardly profitable!
The primary weapons of Scuttle are a cutlass in the dominant hand, and a knife in the other. Nets are also used, typically against ninja: the style encourages both dodges and trickery. Also note that a pirate with a hook hand who had been trained in Scuttle can and will use both Aggressive Parry and Hook fairly safely. These particular techniques are even taught to pirates who still have two hands, on the principle that it saves time later.
