Book, PDF, extra book for a present for a nephew, and a player's pack. Someday I might get round to playing DFRPG as such.

Is there a way to buy a second PDF as an add-on? A friend would like to combine shipping with my order, since it tends to be expensive to the UK.

I presume you mean print book? :-)

(because PDF shipping is free. Not trying to be snarky.)

Sorry, wasn't clear. He wants print and PDF. An extra print copy is easy as an add-on, but I can't find a way to add on an extra PDF.

He could pledge for the PDF-only levels, and you toss in for the print ones? Does that run into extra costs?

Not trying to be a nudge. Kickstarter, Backerkit, and whatnot can be a tetch weird with digital stuff.

Which leads to the question:

* What percentage of purchasers play the GURPS books that they buy?

Going through my e23 purchases, I've played about a third. I've used about half if you count campaign planning. There's a definite tendency to use the bigger books, however, as opposed to the $6.99 PDFs that I'll get on a lark if I think they might be handy somehow down the line.

Strangely, I'm willing to bet that my percentage is higher for the Pyramids I've bought.

Answer fuzzy. I can definitely say that I've never played DF-as-DF, or Monster Hunters with that set of templates. But Adaptions isn't something that you can play, although it can improve an existing campaign, or inspire a new one. Pulp Guns has had a large influence on one campaign, but only because it offered solutions to problems the PCs were suffering. Books I don't "play" still yield ideas for games I run.

Yeah... there may be things I pull from some books, but even when I'm running I don't "play from" Action 2 Exploits despite it being fairly foundational to my playstyle.


Like the pdf never gets broken out because those rules are in my House Rules list.

But if I had to say how many books I've pulled from? Probably about 10%. Less so from Pyramid. But mostly because I'm not running that many different games, so no need to pull out sci-fi stuff in a DF game, or DF stuff in an AtE game...*





* I am far more likely to break out DF monsters for an AtE game though...

Outright play? Very few. Using parts of in some way? The vast majority. Used as inspiration, either for different purposes than originally written or even in other systems? Almost all of them!
