Default GURPS: Characters and Campaigns

Great: http://e23.sjgames.com/item.html?id=SJG31-3999

What what about those who already own both PDF (and books as well, of course)?

Is there any way to "upgrade" to the bigger volume?

I donīt realy feel like tossing out additional $54.90 for a PDF whoīs contend i already own :)

Still, i would like to have them both in one PDF ...

Any help in sight?

It isn't one PDF -- it is one stock number, for which you get a single zipped file of two PDFs.

Ah... that explains why there wasn't a fanfare. I really like the look of the cover, though.

A few suggestions:

Provide links from the solo Characters and solo Campaigns pages to the bundle set.

Provide a little clarification that it's two separate PDFs for the eager TJA's of the world ;)

Include some form of the first paragraph of the descriptor text from the solo Characters/Campaigns pages as well as the second paragraph - because it is a little jarring to see the books flat-out described as combinations of GURPS 3e Basic Set and the relevant Compendia with no introduction to remind people that it's a whole new edition, not a repackaging and reorganizing job.

Update the Campaigns blurb on the combination page and the solo page so it notes that the rules are UPDATED as well as combined, like you do for Characters. ;)

Uhh.
Thanx, Paul.

But "GURPS Basic Set: Characters and Campaigns" ***realy*** is missleading!

Even the cover picture suggests, that it is one PDF:

Did not manage to include the image in my posting, you need to click on it ...

You can't include images in posts on the SJG forum.

And it's only misleading if you don't read the description, which is absolutely clear that it is an archive of two separate PDFs.

It is not.

There is absolutely NO mentioning of an archive of more than one PDF in the description.

But it *has* an title and an image that both very much suggest that it is one PDF with both books.

If it is not, both should better be changed to make that more clear!
Donīt confuse the customers more than realy needed ...

:)

The word "bundle" was mentioned in the description, which together with the separate references to the two books, does seem to indicate a package deal. I suppose the wording could be a little more explicit *shrug*

The site is down, so I can't quote directly, but I went and looked yesterday and I saw a very clear reference to Characters being a 338-page PDF and Campaigns being a 242-page PDF. Separate paragraphs. Separate files.

The real key, however, is that it confused people. We should try not to do that.

The site is down right now, but when it comes back up I will add a line to the page to clarify the matter!
