Ludography
With so many supplements already available for the first three editions of GURPS, there's lots of support material available to jump-start your game. The following books are still available and easy to use with GURPS Fourth Edition. The descriptive material, of course, is usable as is. Rules adaptation will be minor . . . e.g., recalculating point totals and changing the names of some abilities.
Sourcebooks
"Sourcebook" supplements are not associated with particular game worlds. They provide support material that the GM can mix and match in almost any campaign.
- Atlantis. The Great Lost City in fact and fiction.
- Atomic Horror. B-movie "reality" of the 1950s: commie spies, giant ants, and bug-eyed aliens.
- Best of Pyramid 1 and Best of Pyramid 2. Digests of selected GURPS articles from SJ Games' Pyramid magazine.
- Cliffhangers. Two-fisted heroism in the spirit of 1920s and '30s pulp fiction.
- Covert Ops. Secret wars – whether they involve commandos, criminals, spies, or terrorists.
- Horror. Terrifying tales, supernatural suspense, and gory splatter.
- Ice Age. Mankind battles for survival in the Pleistocene Epoch.

- Steampunk. Historical science fiction in the spirit of Verne and Wells, with steam-powered difference engines and giant airships.
- Swashbucklers. Romantic adventure from Elizabeth I to Napoleon. For more details on the French Revolution, check out Scarlet Pimpernel.
- Warehouse 23. Warehouse of weird items, from UFOs to the Spear of Destiny.
Worldbooks
A "worldbook" presents one particular game world in detail. It gives extensive advice on how to run a campaign there, recommends suitable characters, and includes rules for setting-specific abilities, artifacts, creatures, and so on.
Players of Infinite Worlds, GURPS Fourth Edition's official setting, will find these books extremely valuable. The historical worldbooks can be used as guides to "echo" timelines, and the others provide more-fantastic parallel worlds.
- Age of Napoleon. The world, especially Europe, during the life and times of Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821).
- Alternate Earths 2. Sampler of "what if" worlds, split off from Earth's actual timeline. Highly recommended for Infinite Worlds games.
- Arabian Nights. The Islamic Middle East of the seventh through 13th centuries.
- Aztecs. The New World saw one of the strangest and most powerful empires in history, only to have it destroyed by a few hundred Spainish invaders.
- Cabal. Horror-conspiracy setting in which the Earth – in fact, the entire universe – is controlled by a secret alliance of powerful wizards and demigods.
- Camelot. Arthur, Merlin, Excalibur, and the Knights of the Round Table.
- China. 5,000 years of adventuring possibilities.
- Egypt. Ancient Egypt, from prehistory to the end of the Ptolemaic Period (30 B.C.).

- Imperial Rome. Rome during the Republic (509 B.C.-28 B.C.) and Empire (27 B.C.-476 A.D.).
- In Nomine. Adaptation of SJ Games' In Nomine RPG. The PCs are angels and demons involved in the struggle between Heaven and Hell.
- IOU. Anything goes at Illuminati University, as long as it's weird. The only entrance requirement is your sense of humor!
- Mars. The planet Mars, in reality and as it appears in speculative fiction.
- Middle Ages 1. England, 410-1485: the end of Roman rule to the death of Richard III.
- Transhuman Space. Optimistic future history where biotechnology, cybernetics, and nanotechnology redefine "human" and make it possible to colonize the solar system. Ten supplements flesh out the setting; all but Personnel Files and Spacecraft of the Solar System should be usable in GURPS Fourth Edition with very little trouble.
- Vikings. Scandinavia during the "Viking Age" of the eighth through 11th centuries.
- WWII. A detailed and self-contained World War II game setting. Has several supplements which cover the nations, technology, and militaries of WWII; of special note for Infinite Worlds games is Weird War II.
