That's good! I think everything is still on schedule with the SPACESHIPS book.

It is out of editing and in Production. We still have a few steps, and it's a bit behind schedule, but yes, it's on its way.

Arriving late to the discussion, and being too lazy to read the whole thread, but is this going to see hard copy or will it be just an e-23 release?

Edit: Looked back a page....so possibly a POD book, once all three volumes are released?

E23 only at this point. POD depends on how well it sells I expect.

As per our normal policy, we'll release each volume ("three" is not the final count, as far as total volumes, IIRC) as a PDF and judge its POD worthiness based on the sales, both the total volume and speed.

I am yet another person who can't wait for GURPS Spaceships... And hopefully ADB will follow it up with a book about Star Fleet Universe ships in GURPS Spaceships. :)

That's both totally understandable from a business pov and totally frustrating from a personal one....so to get the possibility of a print copy, I have to buy the pdf? Okaaaaaaay :) :)

That's the way the economics works out at the moment.

Please note that, as the POD technology matures, turning a PDF into print is only going to become easier and easier. Some may say that *all* PDF products *will* have POD options in the next five years, simply because the process will be as painless as creating a PDF from, say, a Word document.

Hello :)

Just another guy waiting for Spaceships. It sounds badass. Humping along in Vehicles making massive starships... it was just a bear. Being a fantastical gearhead and detail freak make it worse... I wrote down designs for some.. 35 warships.. then set out to make the damn things. Gah! It didn't work out, it took a week to make even one. You know, its a side topic, but I couldn't satisfy myself with a few common models. Nooooo, I had to make the rare prototypes companies made, I had to make the obsolete models from long past wars that got refitted. I had to make entirely different navies for different companies. Don't even get me started on the aliens. Cripes, I've needed a faster system for a long time.

I can't wait to dig into these and tweak the hell out of it. No gaming system yet has been able to accomodate my super massive several kilometer long battleships yet, so I'll be messing around with this one for a while I bet ;) But it sounds like it'll be way easier with what my main man Pulver has rigged up.

Good god guys, gimme these damn books!

*vibrates*
