Players from my Sunday group online are new to GURPS, and they're snapping up the POD books. The system works!

That's great to hear! And good job spreading the GURPS infection. :)

Can someone verify if this version of GURPS MAGIC includes the mistaken 1st printing erratum that allows permanent teleport gates for x100 cost instead of x1000 on p.85?

Just looked at my copy. The sentence I believe you're asking about under Create Gate reads:

"A permanent gate costs 100 times as much as a temporary one."

I'm pretty stoked that these exist.

I'll be ordering several of them within the week from Amazon.ca. I missed the hardcopies as they came out, and this gives me a way to actually get physical copies way up here in Canadia.

The free shipping doesn't hurt, either.

I sincerely hope that they make enough sales to justify putting more books up there. I'd like physical copies of Powers and Fantasy and Low-Tech, and the secondary market prices can sometimes be outrageously expensive on OOP books, especially up here.

We're still experimenting and have been watching sales. Our next step is to post two more titles . . . maybe next week. I know the team has everything except checks of the physical proofs completed and ready to go.

We also want to expand testing and try a few older -- say from the nineties -- books to see how sales of books from that era would look today.

That would be neat! There are so many good books from the 3e period that it would be great to see in print again. I hope they'll be popular enough. Why should eBay, Paypal, and eBay resellers be the only ones to profit from physical copies of those old titles? :)
