[gurps] 4th edition and ebooks?

[Susan Koziel]

I love e23.... I just wish they'd put some of the 3rd
ed. core stuff on there... like magic and the
grimoire.
I realize that would be counter productive for the 4th
ed. switch over.

However, two sets of my players are heavily invested
in 3rd Ed. (like 10 years worth of invested) so as a
GM I won't switch those campaigns (tho any new
campaigns I've started are 4th ed.)...and I can dream
of getting both editions as pdfs.
