December 29, 2023: The Weather Outside Is Frightful? That Sounds Like Extreme Conditions!

The real world is messy and complicated; that's one of the things that makes it so amazing. Case in point: tactical encounters. Sure, as an adventuring hero, it'd be a lot more convenient if the weather stayed nice, every location had adequate lighting, and "sand" was nonexistent except for bad dialogue in sci-fi memes. Reality, however, is filled with complications. Now, the supplement and opportunity of uncooperative climes comes to the gaming table, with GURPS Tactical Shooting: Extreme Conditions.

Written by GURPS Tactical Shooting architect Hans-Christian Vortisch and building off that book's foundation, Extreme Conditions provides a plethora of environmental problems to give heroes new opportunities to adapt and overcome. From the effects of extreme cold to jungle warfare to fighting near and under water to combat in the vacuum of space, this supplement delivers rules for a multitude of milieus mundane and maximal. Although of perhaps most interest to those who arm and upkeep guns amid inhospitable realms, this supplement can surely spark new ideas and inspiration for anyone (regardless of the genre) who dares to trek through terrible terrain.

Plus, for the first time ever, we've made a GURPS supplement available upon release as both a PDF and as a softcover book in our ever-popular On Demand series. You can choose your preferred format just like you might choose the right gear to survive a dangerous domain.

Regardless of your format of choice, GURPS Tactical Shooting: Extreme Conditions is sure to add to your adventures. And remember: If you're looking for another way to make your GURPS games more interesting, you can't spell "climactic" without "climatic"!
