How to be a GURPS GM reprint "being prepared" on Createspace
I noticed today that How to Be a GURPS GM is "being prepared" for Createspace. Also noticed the new covers (in Warehouse 23), which weren't on the original file. Very exciting...

B-b-but that means that they're doing POD editions. Can it be?
Here's hoping that it's a big success for them, if that's what's happening. |

Wierd.
It was PDF only and a run is being made for the DFRPG so I am surprised at this.

It's conceivable that getting a run printed for the DFRPG by Createspace is cost-effective, which would mean that the book was also available via PoD thereafter.

Also it appears to mean that they had good results with the experiment so far.

Re: How to be a GURPS GM reprint "being prepared" on Createspace
That's my guess. The three current GURPS offerings from Createspace have also been well-received, so it makes sense from that perspective as well. I, for one, welcome our new GURPS POD overlords.

Re: How to be a GURPS GM reprint "being prepared" on Createspace
This may simply be that, having made the necessary changes to the source files to allow for a print run, they've already made the changes necessary to support printing at CreateSpace, so they just decided to go ahead and do that.

That seems to indicate the profit margin is not too far off. If true it bodes well for other books. It is also possible they are doing it this way to create more options for newcomers to GURPS.

Re: How to be a GURPS GM reprint "being prepared" on Createspace
Yes, we're using CreateSpace to print the copies of HTBAGGM that so many of you added on as part of your DF RPG Kickstarter pledge.
After we've printed and fulfilled all of those orders (to ship alongside physical copies of the DF RPG box), we plan to make HTBAGGM available for general purchase via Amazon and CreateSpace -- just like we're doing for Magic, Thaumatology, and Ultra-Tech. ObDisclaimer: All plans subject to change at the whims of Fate and the Secret Masters.
