GURPS now On Demand

 

In case you haven't heard Steve Jackson Games is taking a new direction with the physical copies of GURPS fourth edition. They are now going to be available 'On Demand' via Amazon. I believe that basically means print to order. Not only that you will be to get each of the core books in four different formats based on softback or hardback and black/white or color. Check out the links below to see their listings on Amazon.

This is very interesting to note since most companies are going POD via DrivethruRPG (SJG already has many GURPS products there in pdf and POD already) so going with Amazon I believe they are hoping for more broad market appeal. So maybe this will breathe some new life into the GURPS line, or maybe not. Time will tell

More GURPS book in POD

Over on DrivethruRPG it appears that Steve Jackson Games is leaning heavily into the print on demand market a bit more with their GURPS products. Over this last week we've seen six titles put up rather quickly. 

They covered most of the tech bases in classic GURPS with Ultra-Tech, High-Tech and Low-Tech. Plus they also managed to get Compendium 2 up as well. 

For Fourth Edition they put up the Psionics Powers book.

Then for something other than GURPS they put up the core rulebook for the angels vs demons game In Nomine. 

 It's been known that SJG has been stepping away from it's TTRPG lines and support a bit more every year. Especially since Munchkin and their other physical games are the bread and butter for that company now. So the moving everything over to POD eventually makes a lot of sense.
