GURPS Action 1: Heroes

In a world where danger lurks in every shadow, death can come around any corner, and every sentence sounds like a movie trailer, there are those who would risk their lives to save the day. These brave souls are men of fortune. They are men of fate. They are men of . . . action!

Action 1: Heroes draws its inspiration from the heroic men and women of action movies of the 1980s and beyond, bringing high-octane, high-stakes adventure to GURPS.

With templates, focused options, and lists of appropriate gear, players and Game Masters alike can create characters looking as though they were shot on 35mm film, ready for some shooting of their own. Heroes is a guide for gamers looking to get their action-movie campaigns going quickly and explosively!

This volume focuses on characters. Watch for the sequel -- Action 2: Exploits -- for the how-tos of making fast-paced adventures.

Everybody loves little bonuses for next to nothing. In GURPS, that means Perks -- one point advantages that add just a little edge to your character, and a whole mess o' flavor. But like sweet treats, can you ever have enough?

GURPS Thaumatology

Feel the Power!

Fantasy settings are defined by their magic . . . so different worlds need different magic systems. GURPS Thaumatology includes GURPS Fourth Edition updates of the best Third Edition magic variants, plus many all-new options. In this mighty tome you'll find:

• Minor tweaks for the spell-based magic of the Basic Set: restructuring prerequisites and colleges, modifying Magery and mana, new magical energy sources, adapting spells on the fly, and more.
• Radical revisions of spell-based magic, including detailed versions of the clerical and ritual magic options hinted at in the Basic Set, and the return of that Third Edition classic, "unlimited mana."
• Traditional alternatives to spells, such as ceremonial, spirit-mediated, and runic magic.
• World-shaking freeform magic.
• Magic as inherent powers.
• An in-depth look at material magic, with new alchemy, herbalism, and enchantment options; rules for free-willed items and magical gadgets; and guidelines for "the stuff of raw magic."
• Notes on adapting real-world occult concepts – such as the Laws of Magic, astrology, and traditional material components – to any magic system.
• Guidelines for running magic-oriented games, advice on combining magic systems, and detailed outlines for four distinctly different fantastic campaigns.

GURPS Thaumatology requires the GURPS Basic Set, Fourth Edition. GURPS Magic is recommended but not required. The discussions of different magical styles will enhance any game that features magic.
