  • Steve Jackson Games Contents Introduction
    Want to create a superhero? A wuxia fighter? An earth-shattering psi? A wizard or shaman with abilities beyond spells and rituals? A god? With the GURPS Basic Set and Powers, you have POWERS everything you need to create superhuman heroes: 5 Case-by-case advice on how to turn over 100 advantages from the Basic Set into superhuman abilities – with new modifiers, variant traits, optional rules, and plenty of examples. 5 Five flexible new advantages: Control, Create, Illusion, Leech, and Static. 5 Dozens of new enhancements and limitations to fine-tune your abilities. 5 Energy Reserves to fuel abilities, “alternative abilities” that don’t all work at once, and ways to substitute abilities you have for those you don’t. 5 Hundreds of sample abilities – energy blasts, curses, defenses, mental gifts, and more. 5 Rules for powers – groups of abilities linked by origin – with over 40 ready-to-use examples. 5 Guidelines on biological, chi, divine, elemental, magical, moral, nature, psionic, spirit, and super powers – even godlike cosmic powers – and their interactions. 5 Advice to GMs on how to keep it fun and prevent high-powered heroes from taking over! GURPS Powers requires the GURPS Basic Set, Fourth Edition, and replaces the Third Edition books GURPS Supers and GURPS Psionics. The advice on abilities and powers can be used with any game that features superhuman characters. By Sean Punch and Phil Masters Edited by Andrew Hackard Cover Art by Romas Kukalis, Bob Stevlic, Eva Widermann, and John Zeleznik Illustrated by Abrar Ajmal, Alex Fernandez,

  • GURPS Advantages a Compendium of Pregenerated Abilities
    GURPS Advantages A Compendium of Pregenerated Abilities Compiled by Atreyu Hibiki; submitted by the good people of the SJGames forums, at h ttp://forums. s jgames. c om/ Illustrations by Atreyu Hibiki. 1 The material presented here is the original creation of the referenced submitters, intended for use with the GURPS system from Steve Jackson Games. This material is not official and is not endorsed by Steve Jackson Games. The fonts used were Times New Roman and Arial, from Microsoft, and Beyond Wonderland, from www.1001freefonts.com Greetings. What you now hold in your hands (if you printed it, that is. More likely you're reading it on a screen) is an unofficial gaming supplement for use with the GURPS roleplaying system by Steve Jackson Games. This 'book' was conceptualized after the success of a similar project, GURPS Historical Folk. The idea was along the lines of “If people would download a document filled with generic job templates, they probably would be interested in having premade abilities, as well.” After helping a number of people put together their ability concepts, I opened a thread on the SJGames forums with the express purpose of making this collection. I present the contents of that post here: Following the apparent interest in the Historical Folk 4e thread, I am considering creating a collected PDF 'book' of easy-grab abilities. The idea here is to make a list that any GM would feel comfortable using in a Supers or Anything-Goes campaign. For ease of use in a generic game I'm placing some rules: -All abilities must follow 'standard' GURPS rules, so no homebrew base advantages allowed.

  • It's Been a Fantastic Start to the New Year For
    February 2017 It’s been a fantastic start to the new year for me and a very busy month. I spent five days in LA with my best friend (“twin sister from a different womb”) attending the GenreLA writers conference and playing tourist. My son landed his first real job (the one he got his degree for, rather than the one making sandwiches which was paying his bills but not feeding his mind), and I was informed I’m going to be a grandmother (by same child). I’m excited about all the news, though still mulling over that whole “grandma” title. In writing news, I’m very excited to announce that Into the Yellow Zone (book two of the Into the Outside series) is releasing March 31 in both paperback and Kindle. Coming March 31st! – Into the Yellow Zone The journey continues... Isabella and the Callaway tribe continue their journey to warn the mutant tribes about the danger that awaits them after the shelter people emerge from underground… in 50 years. But they don’t know of the imminent danger that awaits them if they are captured. Isabella’s brother Luke escapes from the military and continues chasing his sister through the dangerous Yellow Zone – the areas of highest contamination, to try to warn her. Along the way, both the tribe and Luke meet up with an old scientist who is close to finding a vaccine to protect the shelter people from the toxic Outside. If he is successful, it will change everything they know about the future! Watch my website LyndaEngler.com for previews and pre-orders.
