Gurps 1st edition list

The system then can build on complexity and grow with the players. Each sub system can be added in or not as the players grow into the game. It also needs much better production values. The 4th ed books used horrible poser based artwork, bad section color coding and really just bad art direction. I've wondered how much it would cost to buy the rights to GURPS to be able to give it the revamping it deserves. I do agree that GURPS is a solid system my preferred one, still and that a 5th edition would be awesome, but only if the system was sold to another company focused on doing it right.

I agree that GURPS is one of the best systems ever designed, 4E was released with the best of intentions by one of the best companies in the RPG hobby, but that 4E has also turned into a giant cluster-F-bomb, and a 5E reboot is desperately needed. I hate the micro-production, 4E is more of a nightmare than 3E for navigation purposes, so yes, ditch that process and go for bigger books, too. I disagree with leaving out subsystems though. With 4E, Powers was a half-baked idea at release, at best, now, with 5E, it should be in the core rules all in one chapter - Powers - the, whether that's psionics, magic, superpowers, whatever, here's how they work chapter.

I suspect the GURPS design team at SJG is excellent, but that they aren't getting the resources they need to move product, so I'd like to see those people stay with the system. They don't seem to be able to be efficient about high production value projects. I think I disagree that the "specialized sub-systems" like magic, psi, and super-powers need to be eliminated from the Basic Set.

I don't think the game can be truly generic without including the several most-used of these. You would need to make a case for other content being more important.

That said, GCA is in dire need of an update. Judge me accordingly. You are most correct when you say that these are different products. And yes, I have seen the specialized monster books Creatures of the Night, etc. As one of the authors of the 3e Bestiary, I think it is as core to the rules as the combat system. But hey There is no need to do that. GURPS's different product. And Bestiary. No really. Why do you say that? Are you aware of Creatures of the Night for 4th edition?

As usual, please bear in mind that while the list below does its very best to arrange things in the most likely release order, it doesn't come with any guarantees other than, "One of these days, we'll publish this!

Five or six other titles are floating around, too, but they're not things we want to discuss at this time. In the meantime, be sure to check out those options if you haven't taken a look recently, because was a very active year for both! In fact, all that stuff was recently added to our secret database. I cannot lie. At least for the first quarter of , the hallowed freelancers' tradition of getting in early and often is not the way to go.
