Steve Jackson Games' GURPS 2020 PDF Challenge

They're third party products, not SJ Games publications, so I'm guessing not.

That should be right.
From the Campaign homepage -

NOTE: Only PDFs published by Steve Jackson Games and currently listed for sale on Warehouse 23 will be available to project supporters. We cannot list PDFs by other publishers or PDFs that we do not currently sell.

They will not be available in BackerKit.

From the campaign page on Kickstarter:

"NOTE: Only PDFs published by Steve Jackson Games and currently listed for sale on Warehouse 23 will be available to project supporters. We cannot list PDFs by other publishers or PDFs that we do not currently sell."

Only PDFs published by Steve Jackson Games, that are currently on Warehouse 23, will be available in BackerKit. If you want a Steve Jackson Games PDF that is not listed in the BackerKit survey, please email help@sjgames.com and the team will help as best they can.

My personal experience is that it's a strong model. The new GURPS project, in my opinion, illustrates how successful it can be for those willing to use a pledge manager to include the option to select specific (older) titles as add-ons.

So close. $3,000. I can taste the pdf. Strawberries.

[Anaraxes]

Ahh, but the strawberries. That's where I had them. They laughed at me and made jokes but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt and with... geometric logic... that selling 12 PDFs for $3 would work.

That's the gelatinous cube from the megadungeon. It's digesting you.

Yeah, it has been another good day for the project. We may hit that last stretch goal before the project closes.

Have you gotten this resolved via all the replies? If not, feel free to PM me and I'll try to help further.

i one of the 4trillion or more world wide unemployed people on this /&%#$ 2020 and poor and that is why i am very cautious of using my debit card with little money i have in there at the moment.

Kickstarter is safe, it's been around for a long time.

Just in case you don't have it at all, not just in pdf form, yeah, it's very, very useful to have. The new advantages and modifiers alone are worth its cost.

In trying to help achieve the goal, I've upped my pledge, because the $99 level really puts only a tiny dent in my lack of pdf-collection...

Isn't prime directive revised listed on Warehouse 23 ?
