Size is also slightly different under GURPS 4E: Size +4 or +5 for ~40 ft length. |

Re: Getting back into GURPS (Migrating to 4th?)
I"m not seeing that. I would just say that its HP under 3/e were too high.

Re: Getting back into GURPS (Migrating to 4th?)
Hi:
I've been using GURPS since the first edition. Though now my collection is pretty much pdf. I've never regretted switching to 4e. I still use my large collection of "classic" 3e splat books. I've used Espionage, Black Ops, (among others) and the entire GURPS Traveller Classic line. Even though there is only one 4e book (Interstellar War) in the GURPS Traveller line, I've never had a problem with using the 3e books. The conversion is easy.

Re: Getting back into GURPS (Migrating to 4th?)
I also noticed that there are some notes and such in the Pyramid magazines for some of these migration. In particular, I saw that Pyramid #3/115 (not sure I understand the numbering of these?) is almost entirely dedicated to GURPS Technomancer's use in 4th edition, including new templates and such. Very nice and very useful. I don't know if other 3rd edition books got similar treatment, but useful when they do.

Re: Getting back into GURPS (Migrating to 4th?)
There have been 4 ages of Pyramid Magazine.
First was an actual paper magazine back in the 90s mostly. It had maybe 29 issues and these would now be numbered 1/1-29. Availability is probably poor and would mostly mean buying a used magazine from somebody. Second was an online Pyramid magazine to which you subscribed on a yearly basis. When this ended subscribers were given a chance to download all the issues as one big file. I don't think you can legally get access now though there have been plans to harvest these issues for new PDFs. The third age of Pyramid was as a regular magazine in pdf form that you bought by the issue. No new ones are being published now but all the old ones are for sale at Warehouse 23. These are the ones you see for sale marked 3/115 or whatever. The Fourth age of Pyramid is as an intermittent pdf bundle of articles all addressing a theme. Also for sale at W23 and labeled 4/1, 4/2 and so on.

Re: Getting back into GURPS (Migrating to 4th?)
Thanks for clarifying. I don't have any of the Pyramid magazines but did purchase the one I refer to above as a PDF. I had not realized that they had stopped (mostly) making them. I do have a handful of the old Roleplayer magazine on paper (they all seem available for free online), which I guess pre-dated the Pyramid magazines (the ones that I have are all from 1991).

Roleplayer is also available in PDF, at $3 each, or $30 for the whole run, also of 30.
