[QUOTE="Spell, post: 4006210, member: 19718"] you got it wrong. it's not the case of them putting out stuff for GURPS 2e or something similar, but, rather, reprinting books just because the existing copies were selling for high prices on ebay (or similar channels). these are two different things. steve jackson is now offering pdfs of GURPS 3e on their e23. some of those pdfs, apparently, are doing pretty well. if they were offering a print on demand thing (which they might just as well... i never bought pdfs from them), i think old users would be almost toally happy, too. if they were going to reprint old modules, and print new stuff for older editions, i would hate it if they relabelled the systems. i can see why it would make sense, but the existing labels (up to 3e) are already different enough to make sense: Dungeons & Dragons: BECM or OD&D (this might lead to confusion... in this case the "vintage D&D" label might work for OD&D). Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: 1e Advanced D&D 2nd edition: 2e (doh!) then you have dungeons and dragons again for what effectively had to be Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 3rd edition. and again D&D for 4th edition. i blame it on postmodernism! :P anyway, i don't see how this is going to happen any time soon, so why worry? :P [/QUOTE]
