day 29: Talk about an experience you've had with plagiarism.

I always cite my sources (my books have a massive bibliography), and I release my translations under a Zero licence, so there has been no cause for plagiarism in my recent work.

That being said, I did learn that used some very old snippets I wrote for "Teralogos News" - that is, in-setting news for the line - to train their , which counts.

John F. Zeigler: Transhuman Space: Fifth Wave (Paperback, Steve Jackson Games, Incorporated) No rating

#TranshumanSpace was one of the few times Steve Jackson Games attempted to support an entire line focusing on an original #ttrpg setting for #GURPS , and it's still far away my favorite. And while it has its dark sides, it is also one of the more optimistic near-future settings out there - it portrays humanity largely being able to tackle their own problems.

Alas, I fear we are currently heading for a darker timeline. Still, it would be interesting to revisit this setting, and compare and contrast where we stand now vs. what the setting portrayed where we are going.
