GURPS Roleplayer Bundle & Pyramid Classic Bundle

[PK]

The greatest treasures
Are not in the here and now
But the "there" and "then"

— Some bibliological anthropologist

A wise company looks to the future while carefully minding the past, and it's in the latter spirit that we've offered back catalogs of our classic magazines. Roleplayer, which started as a newsletter and then evolved into our in-house magazine over a run of 30 issues, actually predates GURPS. The "house organ" position was later filled by Pyramid Classic, our full-color, 96-page magazine that also went for 30 issues before transitioning from print to online as "Pyramid Volume 2."

In addition to being filled with useful articles and interesting editorials, these these magazines offer a window into the past of Steve Jackson Games. As such, we've had them available on Warehouse 23 for some time now (see links in the paragraph above). But we know that some people are completionists -- they want it all or want nothing! -- and it is for our fellow obsessives that we've created two new half-priced bundles.

The GURPS Roleplayer Bundle gives you all 30 issues of Roleplayer for just $30, and the Pyramid Classic Bundle similarly delivers all 30 issues of the first volume of Pyramid for just $75. You can think of these as "half off," "buy one get one free," or "a 50% savings" (well, okay, a 49.75% or 49.99% savings if you want to get technical), but it all adds up to the same thing: a way to snag 'em all without breaking your budget.

So strap on your archaeological ludographer's jacket and delve back into a time when physical skills cost more and carrying capacity was linear. For only by understanding the past can we move forward!

And will definitely be plugging this on GURPSDay.

Thanks!

This one was a Sunday release, so with the upcoming Pyramid there'll basically be three releases this week. It's weird, but a good weird. :)

Nice! I very much enjoy reading the old magazines I missed back when, such as Roleplayer.

[Bruno]

Oooo, excellent.

Does this mean we can keep hope alive for a Pyramid Vol. 2 bundle at some point? :) As I was an active subscriber when it ended I have the HTML dump SJG made available, and I've done a lot of work on it to make it nice - but it would be super shiny as a polished SJG house product.

[GM Joe]

A Pyramid v2 volume would be fantastic! I completely missed out on that at the time.

Put me down as someone who would like a volume 2 bundle.

[Celjabba]

Great !

At the very least, the roleplayer bundle will soon be mine.

Are those offers limited in time ?

Just being able to buy the HTML dump would be awesome.. My subscription was not active the month pyramid v2 ended, so I missed it.

At this time, we have no plans to release such an all-encompassing bundle. We have openly talked about doing some sort of "Best of Volume 2" compilation, but there's currently nothing in that vein to announce. (Feel free to read that as, "We want to, but creating such a thing calls for a significant chunk of our resources and we keep needing those elsewhere.")

<MOD> Feel free to discuss this topic here -- it's obviously at least somewhat relevant -- but don't expect any more official answers on this particular subject. </MOD>

Well this is interesting. I'm very close to being a GURPS completist, but I don't have the faintest idea if I should buy this or not. I do like to raid 3e books for ideas, in spite of never having played 3e, but will I get the same out of 1e?
