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 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.

Re: GURPS On Demand: Your Experiences
* Have you ordered GURPS On Demand books?
No * If you did, how fast was the delivery? N/A * If you have not, why? I can print the PDFs if I need a hard copy. Also, the PDFs have the capability of being searched for specific words rather than relying on the very inadequate indexes of most volumes. |
