June 11, 2005: GURPS Lite In KoreanIf you're like me, or like most other Americans (I suspect), 99% of what you know about Korea you learned from watching "M*A*S*H." But they have a thriving gaming culture there, and GURPS is a big part of it. Dayspring Games is our translator/licensor in Korea, and they already have a Korean version of GURPS Basic Set, Fourth Edition for sale.Dayspring has just sent us a Korean translation of GURPS Lite for Fourth Edition, and like its English counterpart, it's absolutely FREE! We hope our Korean fans will take advantage of this offer and use Lite to introduce GURPS to their friends.

The charts show the relationships between all the spells in GURPS Fourth Edition, making it much easier to determine what leads to what, what depends on what, and just how far you can go with what levels of Magery and which prerequisites.
Author Michelle Barrett did a great job, but with a project this complicated, a few bits of errata slipped through. An updated version has just been posted, fixing the handful of errors our sharp-eyed customers have caught, and is available for immediate download. Now don't go breaking our server again – the file will still be there tomorrow . . . June 3, 2005: SynchronicityIt's a beautiful thing, man . . . companies and ideas flowing together, separate streams combining to form a mighty river of innovation and peace and love and market-driven paradigms . . . I don't know whether to go for my MBA or to follow the Grateful Dead on tour.Anyway, today's example is the Liber Sodalitas line from Highmoon Media Productions. They have three products here on e23 in the line – The Blind Path, Erzsak's Drake Riders, and Scions of the Holy Triad. They've been on sale for a month or two. Highmoon just sent us new, improved versions of each title. The improvement? Each product now includes filled-out pages from Ronin Arts' Campaign Planner 2 – the pages on "Secret Society/Organization," to be exact. So there you have it – synchronicity. Liber Sodalitas is now an even better buy, and if it's a little easier to understand, well, that's a free plug for the Campaign Planner line. I love it when a plan come together . . .
And, of course, if you already bought any of the Liber Sodalitas titles from e23 and are a registered customer, you should have already gotten an email letting you know where to download your free updated copy. If you think you should have gotten such an email and haven't, please let us know.
