Then, is using the Advanced Search (link at the bottom bar of the W23 pages) and setting Publisher = Steve Jackson Games, Game System = GURPS, and checking the Include Only Digital Products box is a reliable method? I get 589 hits.

Edit to add: No, that catches three software packages. Should be close, though.

It gets close, but as you noted, "PDF" is a subset of "Digital." I think the only other subset is "Software." But your approach should work if you discard software in your results.

Yet. They could be waiting to snipe that level at the last second, just to make sure no one else can overbid them.

If somebody really dropped $1.5 million on this, it would be the "Kromm's dead body in your attic" level, as I'd probably drop dead from some sort of shock.

In that case, the delay is most likely due to the carefully assembled and honed team of master Gaming Assassin Ninjas waiting to deliver their blow with expert timing to cause the most disruption to Evil Stevie's organization.

Impossible. The Great God Kromm is not only allpowerful and allknowing, but also invulnerable and immortal. And many many other good things as well.

Only functionally invulnerable, of course. This is GURPS, after all.

Kromm has only Cosmic abilities, feckless mortal.

I ran into this writing up one of my Nordlond adventures (not available in the Kickstarter, because published by me...just getting ahead of that one).

I got playtest feedback that "GURPS doesn't have Immunity" but it's the DFRPG, monsters cheat, and it's right there on Monsters, p. 11.

Ergo: Kromm is in fact a monster, and he gets to cheat. Which we knew, really.

It also counts the package deal for both Basic Books in addition to them individually. I don't know if there are more such cases. Edit: There is a "GURPS Roleplayer Bundle" besides the individual issues.

26 of 589 are priced "FREE", by the way.

The two "Suppressed Transmission" volumes turn up, though the first is not listed as GURPS in the individual listing. But the second is listed as GURPS, which seems an appropriately Hitean anomaly.
