All right. Between the two of you, you've convinced me. I saw the ebook listed, and thought, "I've been running GURPS since before some of my players were even born--what do I need that book for?"

I'm buying it right now.

Update: Bought it.

False assumption. Just because no progress is announced is in no way evidence that there has been no progress. It just means they haven't announced anything.

Correct. I hadn't noticed the earlier post. If I had I would have said:

There's no news at the moment. Once we have concrete information we will post an update.

Both Discworld and Mars Attacks are at print and on track to reach stores before the end of the year.

Woo hoo! That's excellent news.

I'm glad you were able to work out how to get this done profitably.

Does this bode well for future GURPS physically printed projects, or is it unique to these?

Well, way too early to say. Let's see how well these perform on the market before we go making any blanket statements. There is something else for print in the works.

The best way to see more printed hardcovers is for these two to sell insanely well.

I'll keep my fingers crossed. :)

I look forward to getting both books.
