Check it out. No, really. This is possible how they’re going to do new GURPS printings from now on. Which I have gotten resigned to; maybe they’ll print more GURPS stuff this way.

Infinity Thumbnails Revisited: Maxmilian [Quantum 7]
I might be doing something more with this world at a later date, so I thought I’d put it up again in a more accessible form.

Two-Fisted Talents For Adventure!
Continue reading Two-Fisted Talents for Adventure! [GURPS 4e]Field Explorer
This Talent is for the more energetic sort of archaeologist or researcher. It covers the skills used to get to and around the ruined temple, rather than why the temple existed in the first place — or why it’s ruined. If the GM wishes to add Gesture, Melee Weapon (Whip), and Traps to the Talent, raise the cost to 10 points/level.
Field Explorer: Area Knowledge, Climbing, Hiking, Jumping, Streetwise, and Survival. Reaction bonus: students, people inclined to romanticism, anyone you’re currently rescuing. 5 points/level.
Denver Slipstick [TL4+2]
Denver Slipstick [TL4+2]
Description: a precisely calibrated and etched aluminum slide rule, with a reversible slide and T-bar. The slide is actually doubly reversible; turning the slide over deosil, widdershins, and then deosil again will reveal a new set of markings that glow faintly blue and seem to be derived from alchemical symbols and other medieval occult markings. Needless to say, the Denver Slipstick registers as magical on standard scans.
Use: Aside from the usual benefits of having a slide rule, use of the Denver gives a +1 to all Thaumatology or Ritual Magic rolls (no defaults!).
Infinity Thumbnail: Mod (Quantum 3) [GURPS 4e]
Mod (Quantum 3)
This timeline has yet to be discovered by Homeline: it’s a combination of a shifted echo and the site of one of Centrum’s greatest parachronic disasters. Centrum’s been searching for Reality Mod for some time, in fact; it has a quite romantic status among Interworld operatives. The Lost Timeline! An entire Intervention mission, exiled forever from their civilization! But they’re probably all dead, of course. This all happened decades ago, after all.
But the Intervention mission team is still alive — well, except from the people who died for various reasons, of course. The survivors and their children are still there, though; and still making Reality Mod safe for Centrum. As the mission team itself defines ‘safe.’ Or, for that matter, ‘Centrum.’ There’s been some cultural drift.
Called Shot [GURPS 4e]
Called Shot [Protection and Warning]
Regular; Resisted by DX
This spell shifts all attacks to a specific Hit Location on the target. That Hit Location does not receive extra protection! Any attempt to aim at a different Hit Location will take double the usual penalty to hit, while aiming at the spell’s designated Hit Location ignores the usual penalty to hit. Attempting to hit chinks in armor is at an additional -4, before doubling the penalty.

Neutron [Quantum 6] [GURPS 4e]
Neutron (Quantum 6)
This alternate timeline is unique in that both Homeline and Centrum were firmly convinced that in 1936 the other had intervened in Neutron’s General War, via the sudden and strategic use of neutron bombs against the Frankish Empire. Certainly both sides had some reason to think so; the crippling of the Franks gave the English-speaking British Empire and the USNA more power in the postwar period (which would please Centrum), while ending a fairly nasty regime that seemed determined to reduce Eurasia to a series of slave states (which would please Homeline). However, a recent operation managed to prove to both organizations that neither of them can take ‘credit’ for the intervention.
Which leads to the question: then who did?
