Re: Steve Jackson Games' GURPS 2020 PDF Challenge
Quote:
In these ultra-short works, chapter headings represent a greater proportion of the page area, while we've included a higher-than-usual density of art (and color) to make them special and pretty. That reduces words per page. Starting at 11 pages, subtract the ad to get 10 pages of actual supplement. Remove one page for the title page, and subtract 2/3 of a page for Contents and About GURPS together, to get 8⅓ pages for the author's words. Using my earlier figures, that results in a range of 480 to 820 words/page, averaging about 680 words/page. And the really low figure is for the supplement with 3½ pages of maps, maps, maps; the actual density of words/page on non-map pages is over 800.

Re: Steve Jackson Games' GURPS 2020 PDF Challenge
As a Kickstarter n00b, how does one link the W23 account?

Re: Steve Jackson Games' GURPS 2020 PDF Challenge
For previous Kickstarters that delivered PDFs through W23, the Backerkit questionnaire simply asked you the username of your W23 account.

Re: Steve Jackson Games' GURPS 2020 PDF Challenge
Again, n00b. Where is the link to the Backerkit questionnaire hiding? (I have yet to make a Backerkit account, if one is needed.)

Re: Steve Jackson Games' GURPS 2020 PDF Challenge
If history is any guide, it doesn't exist yet. There are some administrative fun and games at the end of the campaign, but eventually (which is to say, in a period of time typically measured at least in weeks), you will be sent a link. None of this happens instantly or even particularly quickly.

Precisely the number needed, neither too many nor too few.

Re: Steve Jackson Games' GURPS 2020 PDF Challenge
The more items that will be added to the Backerkit the longer it takes to set up and test. This campaign was offering to add virtually all SJGames GURPS PDFs to the backerkit, which is a list of several hundred items. That could take some time.

Re: Steve Jackson Games' GURPS 2020 PDF Challenge
I hope they have an intern to do it. That would be tedious to do.
