Amazon books
Hi everybody.
Maybe is a dumb question but Im not sure if the amazon physical books are in colour. Amazon is not clear. I know companion I is not. Here: http://www.sjgames.com/gurps/ondemand/ Looks like they are in BW. Thx. |

Re: Amazon books
I bought a bunch of DFRPG books off Amazon POD a couple of months ago, and they are as follows:
Dungeon Planner: B/W Magic Items 2: Colour Monsters 2: Colour Companion: B/W Companion 2: Colour |

Dungeon Planner has B/W interior pages by nature (it's meant to be written in). Companion has B/W interior pages because . . . I don't know why; it's an oddball in its monochrome austerity. (Even the individual PDF books that compose it are B/W for some reason.) I suppose it'd be nice if Companion (and its component PDF books) got full-color releases someday. But B/W does the job fine!

It's sometimes feasible to release both versions with comics, where the production process starts with line drawings which are then colorized, letting you print black and white version with just the drawings with a cheaper printing process, assuming of course you still *have* copies of the original inked but uncolored drawings. And if you are doing a complete re-layout for a new edition or something, maybe it makes sense to commission new art, particularly if there are rights issues involved. But the economics are usually against it, it's not something you can do trivially.

Re: Amazon books
Depending what one wants color for, you could also have a color book with B/W art.
