‘GURPS’: The RPG That Does It All, Now On Bundle Of Holding

3 Minute Read
Jun 28 2022

The one and only GURPS, the RPG that does it all from fantasy to sci-fi and everything in between, is on sale now.

When it comes to RPGs, there’s a wide variety. You’ll find everything from games about mechs and their pilots saving the galaxy to games about mechs and their pilots and they’re all just sad about the realities of war.

Look if it works for anime, it’ll work for roleplaying games. But very few broach multiple genres. Sure, every now and then you’ll have a game that explores more genres. The Modern AGE, for instance, tackles action and military adventure on different scales. But what if there was an RPG that could handle everything from superheroes to cyberpunk to fantasy warriors to historic explorations and everything?

Enter GURPS, the Generic Universal Roleplaying System.

What is GURPS Anyway?

GURPS is a roleplaying game to rule them all. Or at least to play them all. GURPS wants to handle everything you can think of. From anime adventures to noir detectives to Roman gladiators and beyond. If you can think of it, there’s probably a GURPS sourcebook dedicated to it.

Using a “simple” 3d6 system, GURPS will let you dig into whatever style you like. Of course, you’ll have to play it for yourself to see how. It’s crunchier than you’d think, for a system that wants to be light and universal.

But if that sounds intriguing, now’s your chance to give GURPS a try.

This all-new offer gives you all the important rules and supplements you need to get started with the Fourth Edition (2004) of one of the longest-lasting and best-supported universal systems in the hobby.
