GURPS Basic Set printing

[DreadDomain]

My Basic Set is getting quite long in the tooth (it's the second printing from... 17 years ago) and I am looking to buy new and shinny books. I discovered that the Campaign book was currently out of stock in Warehouse 23. Is there a new printing run planned soon (ish, I'm in no rush, my books are still holding)? Would that be the 8th printing?

I checked inventory and we are not out; Warehouse 23 has to get more from our primary warehouse. It looks like 8th printing is the latest. (Started shipping in May of 2021.)

Just taking the opportunity to say how much I love this company.
4AM local and the CEO drops by the forums to answer a question like that.

Thanks, I will keep looking for it. I looked at my PDF download and it is tagged as 7th printing. I assume there is no difference between the 7th and 8th that warrant an update to the PDF?

If the current PDF shows 7th printing, it is unlikely the 8th has any significant changes. Steven's very good with managing those updates.

And thanks! I happened to spot this thread and thought I'd check into things.

Thanks, it's appreciated. I wanted to make sure I would buy the latest printing. The shipping cost to Australia from W23 will be horrendous I am sure but with other options (Amazon, Ebay, etc...), I have no way of knowing if what I'll get will be the 8th printing.

Yup. GURPS - came in for the game, stayed for the social life.
It's like that corner bar I used to go to at lunch hour - I just hope it doesn't get turned into a car park too 🚖

They made pairs of dice and put up a Ogre lot.
