The Journal of the PK Institute for Information Engineering

Issue 6.3, Summer 1997, has arrived!

What is it?

The Journal of the PK Institute for Information Engineering is the name of the 'zine that I write for All of the Above, an APA devoted to GURPS. The Journal of the PK Institute began with volume 3, number 1, Winter 1994; previous issues were titled A Rock and a Hard Place.The Journal of the PK Institute for Information Engineering is presently published quarterly. It is my intention to make electronic editions of The Journal of the PK Institute for Information Engineering available on the Web.

Note: Older issues are available online in HTML. More recent issues (since volume 4(3/4)) are available only in PDF (Adobe Acrobat) format. Yes, it would be nice to have everything in both formats, but it is much easier to convert my PageMaker files into Acrobat files than it is to mark up all the HTML. And I'm sure that you'd all rather have the issues available in a timely manner.

The Best of A Rock and a Hard Place

Winter

Winter is the name of a fantasy/sf GURPS campaign that I ran a while ago and am presently running via email. Portions of the world of Winter have appeared somewhat irregularly in A Rock and a Hard Place and The Journal of the PK Institute for Information Engineering. As they are converted to hypertext they will be made available.
