There is at least one person I know who bought the 3rd ed. Discworld book. When I mentioned to him that there is a new version, he shrugged. "Why should I buy another edition of the same book?"

And like D Cole pointed out above, the setting really shows the strengths of GURPS.
Thanks to the SJG team for the openness and transparency of the stakeholders report. Let us hope that the DFRPG helps generate more interest for GURPS. I will get it from my FLGS, as I did with Discworld.
