This was completely revised for a more flexible and realistic representation of all kinds of weapons, right up to TL12 beam guns. The only really major change is in the ranged-combat system. There are lots of small changes and clarifications here and there. Some you've seen in worldbooks or Roleplayer – others are brand new. We've also drastically reorganized and upgraded the sections on game-mastering and on writing your own adventures.Īnd, of course, there are several new advantages and disadvantages. Not a complete chapter, but important, were the Fright Check rules from GURPS Horror – here, again, we thought it was "generic" enough to include in the Basic Set. Other new chapters include Mounted and Vehicle Combat and Flight. We decided that anything that had to be reprinted that often was basic information – so it's now in the Basic Set. Portions are also in GURPS Humanx and Horseclans. Those who have GURPS Horror have seen the psi rules. (The original GURPS Fantasy worldbook is now out of print, but an expanded and updated GURPS Magic will be at the printer by the time you read this.)Īnother Third Edition addition is psionics. That is not the whole spell list from GURPS Fantasy, but it's a carefully chosen subset – enough to get any fantasy campaign off the ground. The Third Edition gives complete magic rules, and a list of over 100 spells. The original GURPS plan called for magic to be in the Basic Set, but we couldn't get it into the first two editions. The other really significant omission from earlier editions was, of course, magic. This edition adds much more material on modern and futuristic weapons and skills. įirst and foremost, the "medieval" bias of the earlier editions has been erased. Our feedback indicated that buyers wanted to see a wider variety of material in order to make the set truly "generic." Your wish is our command. This edition includes everything from the second edition, and a great deal more. We expect this bigger, less-expensive edition to make the GURPS system even more popular. This is not wholly altruistic, of course. The striking new cover is by Michael Presley.īut the price is lower! This savings comes mainly from dropping the box boxes are expensive. No box! Instead, it's a single 256-page perfect-bound book, shrink-wrapped along with a 16-page booklet that the user takes apart to get the maps, Instant Characters sheet, etc. The most obvious difference is in the physical format. (And if you're one of the people who returned a questionnaire, we thank you very much, and we hope you got what you wanted in the new edition.)
It represents a complete reworking and re-editing of the system we took into account the comments on the thousands of feedback questionnaires we've received since the game's first release, and did our best to make everyone happy.
