Appeal to SJG
Before you discontinue the GURPS hardbacks...could you find it in your hearts to release 2 more?
1. Monsters/Creatures. Catalog of many many creatures and also a Gurps system on how to build our own. This should also include info about Robots as a creature type. 2. Vehicles. A unified Gurps system of vehicle design as well as combat (ground/air/space/water). And vehicles should go from bicycles all the way to the largest spaceships. Also include a healthy list of example vehicles. With these two books and all the existing books, I think I can tackle just about any type of campaign using GURPS. I would also be willing to donate money to help get these two Gurps hardbacks published. As for PDFs, if you could put out more that focus on character and npc templates that would be worth buying and using. |

Re: Appeal to SJG
Let's be clear about something:
We haven't said we're discontinuing hardbacks. We've said that we're looking into ways to stay profitable. If we try releasing some books as softbacks, and they make less profit, we may decide hardbacks make more sense. And if the economy changes, our plans will change as well. Flexibility is good. (Something about the tone of the thread seems to connote that we have some ideologically driven need to kill hardbacks. It's worth noting that we like hardbacks, too! They're pretty.) As for your desired books, thank you for your feedback. We are not currently accepting donations, but please feel free to spend the money you'd otherwise donate on GURPS books and give them away to random strangers as presents. :)

Sounds like a lot of PDFs to me. Or a really huge book. |

Re: Appeal to SJG
The system to build your own is called GURPS. What more are you looking for?

3e Bestiary is pretty simple to convert to 4e, and its cheap on e23.
