Which will still be useful to my players since I had them figure out how to use the gate shortly after discovering it so Earth is still 1930 tech.

That sounds like some lovely, lovely mayhem will ensue...

I beg to differ.

Also, how do you find out what length a W23 product is. I'm curious how many pages this article is before deciding whether to buy it or not.

It tells you right next to the price on the description page.
Also previews always include the table of contents and index.
30 page PDF in this case.

That's in the upper left-hand sector of the page. Since this is becoming a FAQ (in general, not for this specific supplement), I've indicated this with a red rectangle in the attached graphic.

Ah, there was the confusion. It shows up on the sjgames page here: http://www.sjgames.com/gurps/books/sparrials/ but doesn't seem to on the W23 page here: http://www.warehouse23.com/products/SJG37-1684. It should probably show up on both.

And 30 pages seems like enough to be worth my purchase. Sold.

*beth hunts around the warehouse23 page* Yeah, far as I can see, you're right. Looks like currently, the only way to figure the total page-count is to check the sample, and it looks like the index ends on p. 29, and then there's a bit more backmatter.

(Hope you enjoy it!)

Is "1d-6" erratum?

Not necessarily. It just means that they will never do 2 pts of damage for penetration purposes. Just the 1 pt that's minimum for P type damage.,
