GURPS On Demand: Your Experiences
We've been running the GURPS On Demand experiment for a few years now, and so far there are dozens of books available through this print-on-demand service.
http://www.sjgames.com/gurps/ondemand/ Today we are asking: * Have you ordered GURPS On Demand books? * If you did, how fast was the delivery? * If you have not, why? Bonus: What other books would you like to see released as a part of this program?

Re: GURPS On Demand: Your Experiences
1. Nope.
2. N/A 3. Lazy, I guess. Also I tend to use pdfs even if I have the actual physical book. That being said, there are two or three on demand books I have my eye on but haven't gotten around to ordering. |

Re: GURPS On Demand: Your Experiences
1) No
2) NA 3) bought the reprints when they were new, like PDFs of the new small ones for searchability, would buy both in many cases if there was a discount |

Re: GURPS On Demand: Your Experiences
1 Yes 'Magic' (Didnt realize it when I did [Amazon purchase]), I thought it was just a lucky find, but it wasnt an original print. Now I know why its only black and white.
2 Typical Amazon 3 I dont think I'll do it again (on purpose) for a core book. I like the indexing section colors of the original books, I dont think I will get hard copy in B/W again if I can avoid it. I could live without the pictures and stuff in color, but I very much like the color borders that make finding things easier and seems to make more sense to my brain. Bonus: Im just coming back to GURPS after a long hiatus I I had 2nd ed and just jumped back in a little over a year ago. I wouldn't know what books to ask for at this point, I like a hard copy book but the PDFs are SOOOOO practical (to search, purchase and store). If I had to pick right now I would say Low Tech Companions 1/2/3 even better as a single compilation. I use these enough to justify a hard copy |

Re: GURPS On Demand: Your Experiences
Haven’t bought any yet, because I bought all the Historical ones in the 90s as they came out (Russia is still one of my favorites) and then other ones I wanted as they hit sales in the 2000s... and then re-bought most if the PDFs over time in the 2010s.
I love that this print option exists! But yeah I can’t think of any additions that I don’t have already.
