Re: GURPS On Demand
Apparently amazon PoD does color now? Is there some extra manhours required to produce the print on demand in color? I would love to buy some sourcebooks, and i would much prefer them to be in color rather than black and white. And i would not mind paying a little bit extra for it.

Yes. A lot of hours, plus the expense of printing/shipping proofs and then again when fixes are made . . . and then again.

Re: GURPS On Demand
Does Amazon PoD offer an option for both hardcover and softcover? Or are we limited to softcover only for the foreseeable future?

If something changes, we will make an announcement. For now, our focus is on getting the library uploaded and available as best we can.

I do wish a few of them were upgraded to 4e in terms of rules. I know for many it's not that hard to adjust the rules as a GM but have a 4e version would be nice. I'd probably favor that over color or hardback versions of 3e. |

Re: GURPS On Demand
That would be even more expensive and complicated, for possibly little to no actual return on the investment. Sean and Steven know a lot more about this than I do, but I see sales numbers vs costs and know that we would need to take a risk to make this happen.
There may be some things we can do over the next year or so, but updating older books to 4th edition isn't likely.

I just wish in a way there was some way for there to be a community effort to get these translated over. In cases where the book is primarily rules like a vehicles book then it's likely hopeless but if it were a book like alternate earths (just as an example) that is primarily about the flavor and ideas, I'd think it could be done. I'm not a games publisher though so I am not stating that opinion as an authority on the matter. I'm just seeing the amount of rules in the book and giving an armchair guess. Definitely not intending to insult what you do. |
