GURPS/Settings: Difference between revisions

[[Steve Jackson Games]] has itself published more than 200 ''GURPS'' sourcebooks. Most of these are for the outdated third edition rules; you can find them [http://www.sjgames.com/gurps/books/older.html here]. It's possible to use many of these sourcebooks in the fourth edition with only minor modifications. The new splatbooks (High-Tech, Magic, etc.) likelyusually but not always have new versions of the items in the old sourcebooks; and to use the old sourcebooks' advice on making characters, refer to [http://e23.sjgames.com/item.html?id=SJG30-6024 GURPS Update].

Particularly popular worldbooks from the thirdThird editionEdition are:

* ''[[GURPS Alternate Earths]]''

* ''[[Discworld]]'' (redone for the Fourth Edition)

* ''[[GURPS Reign of Steel]]''

* ''[[GURPS Supers]]''

* ''[[Hellboy (comics)|Hellboy]]''

* ''[[Lensman]]''

* ''[[Transhuman Space]]''

*'' [[Wild Cards]]''

The fourthFourth editionEdition of ''GURPS'' has the following worldbooks:

* ''[[Banestorm]]''

* ''[[Casey and Andy]]''

* ''[[Infinite Worlds]]'' - a ''GURPS''-exclusive [[The Multiverse|multiverse]], with a [[Fantasy Kitchen Sink]] flavor similar to ''[[Rifts]]''

* ''[[Lands Out Of Time]]''

*'' Prime Directive'', by Amarillo Design Bureau, is a <s>''[[Star Trek]]''</s> ''[[Star Fleet Battles]]'' worldbook.

* ''Hot Spots: Renaissance Florence''

* ''[[Reign Of Steel]]'': Will to Live, a conversion guide elaborate enough to serve as its own rulebook

* ''[[Tales of the Solar Patrol]]''

* ''[[Transhuman Space]]'': Changing Times, a conversion guide like Will to Live

* ''[[Traveller]]: Interstellar Wars''. The Intersteller Wars are one of the most important periods in [[Traveller]] . This version is a good entry-level as the Terran Confederation is a [[United Space of America]] and Terran characters can act roughly like 21st century people without adapting to a new culture. The [[Culture Shock]] of Terran PCs on meeting Vilani will be comparable to what an In-verse Terran would feel and thereby carry the roleplaying smoothly. Later versions would require more practice to play especially if the PC is a character from a non-human race. ISW is also beautifully made with a handsome black hard cover, and wonderful pictures.

* ''[[Vorkosigan Saga]]''
