Last Time This Happened We Got A New Edition

According to the Tech Level and Starting Wealth timeline in GURPS: Basic Set (Characters) 4e on p.27 in 2004:

TL9 begins in 2025.

That moves us from the digital age to the microtech age.

I'm not seeing it.

Back in 1996 and 3eR TL7 (modern) ran from 1951 to 2000 and TL 8 (Spacefaring) ran from 2001 to 2050.

I've heard rumors that GURPS 5e is under consideration.  It might even find a footing with Wizards of the Coast being so entirely too woke now.

SJGames is pretty woke too, so...  Steve's post about Roe v Wade made me stop looking to see what's new at SJGames.  I expressed my concerns back then too.  Might not be a viable alternative.

Especially since 5th editions are often massive clusterfucks.  Both Hero and Traveller have massive tomes of dross masquerading as their 5th editions.

In Traveller's case, so much so that Mongoose made what is effectively a LBB 2e that's far better than the game that Marc W Miller published.
