Gurps Basic Set: Characters

Since Steve Jackson Games first released it back in 1986, GURPS has offered players the freedom to be any kind of hero they want in any genre they can imagine. Over the past 30 years, this roleplaying game has continued to grow and evolve, attracting fans who love its flexibility, quality, and ease of use. GURPS Fourth Edition set new standards for physical quality as well; the two Basic Set volumes are full-color hadbacks with gorgeous, distinctive covers. The first Volume, GURPS Characters, is the perfect introduction to the game. It contains everything players need to get started. Character creation is straightforward (just choose some traits) and produces a hero who feels like a person, not just a collection of numbers. And since GURPS CHaracters collects all of the rules about what traits and gear can do, and includes an overview of how combat works, every player will want a copy for reference.
