Line 4: [[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 Most of these are for the outdated third edition rules; you can find them [http://www.sjgames.com/gurps/books/older.html here].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.) usually 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 ~~third~~Third ~~edition~~Edition are: * ''[[GURPS Alternate Earths]]'' * ''[[Discworld]]'' (redone for the Fourth Edition) * ''[[GURPS Reign of Steel]]'' * ''[[GURPS Supers]]'' Line 15: '' [[Wild Cards]]'' The ~~fourth~~Fourth ~~edition~~Edition of ''GURPS'' has the following worldbooks: ''[[Banestorm]]'' * ''[[Casey and Andy]]'' Line 21: * ''[[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 * SEALs in Vietnam * ''[[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. ** ISW is a [[Shout-Out]] to the board wargame ''Imperium''. * ''[[Vorkosigan Saga]]'' Line 60: [[Category:Tabletop Games]] [[Category:GURPS Settings]] [[Category:{{ROOTPAGENAME}}]]
