They're all PDFs.

Yeah, very much intentional with this project. There won't be any physical items offered at all -- including during the BackerKit stage -- so that we can streamline the delivery as much as possible.

If this works out well, we'll have to explore another GURPS PDF Kickstarter campaign in the future.

And now less than $6,000 to go to unlocked the final stretch goal! This project is humming along great.

(I'm kinda surprised I've not seen a similar PDF project for RPGs.)

Well, you just might. I'm super intrigued both with your successful use of this model in your personal projects, as well as this instance of bringing GURPS along for the ride.

I have a few ideas but want to flesh them out more.

It's been a bang-up day, I'd say. Dollar amount pledged is approaching Friday's 3rd best, and the new pledges for today have already *passed* Friday's. AND, by my count, 11 more backers have pledged at the New to Gurps level(!), which is a huge jump from the rapidly declining trend in evidence up until the weekend.
Maybe we can reach that last stretch goal before Friday if the campaign stays as lively as this!

Got un-furloughed from my other job, so take my money!
How much would it take to finally get GURPS Cabaret Chicks on Ice released?

Focusing on the most important part: Congrats! That's very good news.

We just hit half-way to there.

[Anders]

Yep. We're past $40,000, which is amazing. And 69 backers have picked the "new to GURPS" level, which is heartening.

Looking at what I have and don't have, I'm lacking Powers as a pdf. That would sure be handy to have.

[Anaraxes]

$45k! Oh well. At least it's still a multiple of 5.

(Oh, I see. I forgot to count the -10% Limitation "Only on those who share a language with me" from the definition of Accessibility (Powers p99). So it is 50k in Active Points.)

$3500 to go. Surely there's at least 100 people out there that might like to have even one of those PDFs.
