Basic info every SJG Forums' GURPS-head knows:Are they much of an RPG company anymore? The priorities for 2012 say nothing about RPGs, and the rest of the report says little more. Based on a couple lines in there, I assume they're going to continue releasing new GURPS stuff in PDF, but I'm tending to guess that they won't produce new GURPS hardbacks, and both PDF and print clearly fall under "Everything else is a non-priority, something to do if the priorities are under control."
* There is a GURPS PDF almost every week, albeit often a 3e reprint. There has been a load of Conan releases lately due to the licensing issues letting them be released.
* GURPS Dungeon Fantasy is a wildly successful PDF line that deals with a genre popular on these boards. And deals well, I might add.
* Punch is editing a new version of GURPS Discworld that's massive. It has to be a print version.
* I think SJG has been more reticent about hardcover GURPS books since Low-Tech, though it did alright on PDF.
* There is a full-time GURPS line editor (Sean Punch/Kromm) and there is a dedicated assistant (Jason Levine/Rev. Pee Kitty), though I don't think he's full time. In spite of the shift to Munchkin overall, there is still GURPS- dedicated staff.
In short, Munchkin is the main product, and GURPS is a distant second, but still gets full-time attention.
