Re: GCA Sheet vs Handwritten Sheet
Not, I fear, in my copy. Which claims to be up to date when I check.
Reputation +1, Occasionally (*1/3), Almost Everyone (*1): should be 1 points, GCA charges 2. Reputation +2, Occasionally (*1/3), Almost Everyone (*1): should be 3 points, GCA charges 4. The Basic Set errata page says very clearly to drop all fractions (see http://www.sjgames.com/errata/gurps/...acters-3p.html ); earlier editions, now corrected by the errata, said round down; GCA insists on rounding up. Sorry, but that's still a bug. We can take this discussion to the more appropriate board if you wish...

Re: GCA Sheet vs Handwritten Sheet
This bug has been fixed, however it has been quite a while since we've released an update (over a year), and it looks liked the fix didn't make it to the latest update. We are seeing some serious movement towards the next update, but no ETA on when that will be (hopefully well before the end of the year).

On the flip side, I don't think I could manage to be in a campaign where the GM has the only copy of my sheet. I think we just have different styles. |

Re: GCA Sheet vs Handwritten Sheet
I love using GCA...it makes it much much easier to create and update characters both PCs and NPCs.
Unfortunately, it only goes so far for me. The one part that I find disappointing is Equipment; I can never seem to find exactly what I want.

Re: GCA Sheet vs Handwritten Sheet
Unfortunately, this is not a meaning of "fixed" that I really recognise.

I understand it isn't very helpful for you until its released but that doesn't make it any less fixed.
