In fact I am a great proponent of GURPS' many suppliments and of SJG in
general. Their products are well researched and their practice of subjecting their
suppliments to playtesting by several members of the network months before
the products are released is an exemplary one. Not only does this make
the accuracy and playability of said products better, but it also lets the
people that playtest it know what is going to be available so that they
may tell their friends, neighbours, and acquaintances of the impending
release of these tomes. I am not a large fan of the GURPS gaming system in
general but do find the sourcebooks extremely useful.

I would also point out that I also have an account on illuminati.io.com,
the Internet version of SJG's BBS.

I was not present for noe do I have any direct information on what
transpired between SJG and Mr. Hayden and while I am sympathetic about Mr.
Hayden's apparent sour business dealings with SJG, I am nevertheless a
proponent of the company and enjoy it's many products.
