GURPS Spaceships 7: Divergent and Paranormal Tech
GURPS Spaceships 7: Divergent and Paranormal Tech introduces dozens of new options for spacefaring vessels, allowing them to go where no traditional technology has gone before! Now shipwrights can add tachyon sails, digestive systems, magical power plants, armor made of wood or orichalcum, plus other strange and wonderful innovations. This supplement also provides new rules for unusual or divergent settings: zombie spaceships, pseudo-atmospheric movement, cosmic crystal spheres, and more. Finally, it includes eight ready-to-use vessels that demonstrate the weird options here, such as the ether-crossing Soul Slaver; the psionicly powered psi-jammer; and a spaceship that's the upper torso, head, and arms of a dead god! It also discusses two more "ships" that are actually space monsters -- wise captains avoid angering space whales . . .
With this information, the only limit is your imagination -- and even that's not an absolute barrier.
This is the seventh volume in the GURPS Spaceships series by David Pulver (co-author of GURPS Fourth Edition). It requires only the GURPS Basic Set and GURPS Spaceships. It expands on the tactical combat rules presented in GURPS Spaceships 3: Warships and Space Pirates, adding new options suitable for unusual space vessels.

Vampires. Immortal and nearly invulnerable, their mystic powers and supernatural servants protect them from danger.

"From the fury of the Norsemen, oh Lord, deliver us!" So prayed the Irish monks.
To the victims of a Viking raid, the Norsemen were bearded giants with bloody axes. But the Viking was much more -- a skilled navigator, a brave explorer, a hard-working trader. A dreamer whose songs and stories live even today. And a Viking was a free man -- a man to whom honor and reputation were more important than life itself.
Vikings is a complete guide to the Norse world, including maps, historical background, and details on society and religion. You can game any sort of Viking campaign, from fully realistic to magical and cinematic. Create a historical campaign, with sea battles, duels, and bloody raids -- or become a legendary berserker for mythic adventures with Thor and Odin!

Space Gamer #28 (cover-date May/June 1980) presents another fascinating snapshot into the gaming hobby's yesteryear -- and the articles are fun to read, too!
In addition to the game reviews, news, and letters found in every issue, this installment contains additional information on computerizing hex-maps for wargames; a Company Report on Task Force Games (written by Steve Cole); a new race for The Fantasy Trip; a sci-fi short story called "Distraction Tactic"; and the second in the series "Game Design: Theory and Practice," co-written by Steve Jackson. This issue is especially interesting to armchair annalists, as it contains both a guide of sci-fi and fantasy game publishers (as they existed in 1980) and the results of a 1979 survey of gamers' opinions. (The best-rated fantasy roleplaying game may surprise you . . .)
Whether you're a fan of old-school gaming or a historian of our hobby, each issue of Space Gamer is the perfect passport to the past!

GURPS Spaceships 8: Transhuman Spacecraft
If you're planning an interplanetary trip to a transhuman tomorrow, there's no time like the present!
GURPS Spaceships 8: Transhuman Spacecraft updates the vessels and spacefaring information from the Transhuman Space setting to the GURPS Spaceships system. It includes dozens of new rules and design options applicable to that setting but useful for other realistic shipbuilders. It comes with over 50 spacecraft designs, gathered from across the Transhuman Space setting; each one provides enough information to make it useful even if you don't have the original supplements! Whether you're looking to fight with myriad combat-ready vessels, travel between worlds with Passenger Space Vehicles, or explore a variety of space stations, this supplement has you covered. In addition, it offers six alternate campaign possibilities for using these spacecraft in settings outside of Transhuman Space!
Transport to the world of tomorrow is now boarding!
This is the eighth volume in the GURPS Spaceships series by David Pulver (co-author of GURPS Fourth Edition). It requires only the GURPS Basic Set and GURPS Spaceships, although Transhuman Space: Changing Times is recommended for additional help to bring that setting to the Fourth Edition.

The Secret Masters have denied all knowledge of the various conspiracy theories put forth in GURPS Illuminati.
"To begin with, we don't even exist," said a spokesman. "The Illuminati are a myth." He went on to deny specifically that:
Hail Eris! All Hail Discordia!
The publishers of GURPS Illuminati, Steve Jackson Games, admitted that it was a work of fiction, but added, "It's all true anyway! Just look at the book. It's closer than you think."

GURPS Traveller Classic: Nobles
From the Imperial family to the lowest knight; from the fantastically wealthy duchess on her private estate world to the impoverished baronet who barely has a Free Trader's bunk to call his own; from the archduke who governs hundreds of worlds to the knight with no formal duties -- in Traveller, the aristocracy plays a major role in society, in government, and in the military.
Would you like to serve one of the Imperium's nobles . . . or be one? GURPS Traveller: Nobles details the lifestyle, fortunes, duties, and responsibilities of the nobility in the Third Imperium, the Vilani ruling class at the height of the Ziru Sirka, and the Darrian and Zhodani systems.

Munchkin 6 – Demented Dungeons
(Reprint)
Now It's Really A Dungeon Crawl!
Demented Dungeons brings a new twist to Munchkin. Now you can enter the Dungeon of Elvish Excess, where everyone is an Elf. Or take a Portal to the Dungeon of Manga Wrangling, where tentacles are even more dangerous. Or power up in the Dungeon of Unexpected Epicness -- although it's hardly "unexpected," given the name. Or all of them at once!
Each of the 20 double-sized Dungeon cards adds a new rule that affects the entire party, and maybe the monsters too! Use the 16 Portal cards to jump from one Dungeon to the next in your search for gold and glory.
Munchkin 6 - Demented Dungeons is an expansion for the classic Munchkin set, and was designed by Steve Jackson and illustrated by John Kovalic.
20 double-sized cards, 16 standard-sized cards, and a rulesheet, in a tuckbox.

Munchkin Quest
(Reprint)
Kill the monster, grab the treasure, stab your buddy. That's what it's all about. Now, Munchkin comes to the boardgame, and it's a hit!
You'll build your dungeon, a room at a time, from 24 heavy, double-sided tiles. Each shows a different room . . . some are good for certain characters, some are bad. Fill it with monster standies and let your munchkins run amok!
Cooperate with the whole group, adventure with a partner, or strike out on your own. You don't know what's behind a door until you open it . . . then another room is added to the dungeon. Battle monsters for power and treasure, or send them after your friends. Reach Level 10, and then get out alive if you can . . .
Designed by Steve Jackson and illustrated by John Kovalic, this boardgame doesn't take itself seriously. Except for the loot -- munchkins are always serious about the loot!
11.75" x 11.75" x 3.5" box, with two dozen 3.5" square heavy cardstock room tiles, dozens of link connectors, 200 full-color cards, over three dozen monster standies, dice, rulesheet, and enough tokens, level counters, and sculpted plastic pawns for four players.

Space Gamer #32 (cover-date October 1980) fires up the transdimensional jump drive and transports you, the reader, to the gaming hobby's early days – and the articles are fun to read, too!
In addition to the regular game reviews, news, and letters, this issue's focus is Traveller. Supporting this theme is the article "Alternate Characters for Traveller" (providing rules and guidelines for generating alien or non-human heroes), a deck plan for the Ithilien-class scoutship, and reviews of nine supplemental Traveller products.
Also included is "Deus Ex Machina," presenting three different bits of wargame-aiding code for a programmable calculator; "Minus Two Reaction," a short piece of fiction that begins (and ends) in a bar; "Ten Characters I Wouldn't Let in My Universe," a lighthearted list of NPCs to (not) add to your fantasy RPG; and the sixth in the series "Game Design: Theory and Practice," co-written by Steve Jackson.
For historians, this issue contains a company report on Yaquinto Publications by one of its key members, Steve Peek. More important, it also has information and insight into October 1980's big news: the formation of a little company called Steve Jackson Games.

Dungeon Fantasy 1: Adventurers gave you powerful delvers who could cut a swath through the world and take its stuff. Dungeon Fantasy 3: The Next Level added racial templates, rules for mixing professions, and all-new power-ups, making your adventurers even more awesome. Now Dungeon Fantasy 11: Power-Ups raises the stakes again, bringing more – and more-powerful – power-ups to the table that will really boost your heroes' kill counts and bank accounts!
Inside you'll find power-ups for every profession and race in Dungeon Fantasy 1-10 – and for every budget. At one end are more than 50 perks to modify your spells and combat moves; at the other are more than 80 significant new abilities, priced at up to 100 points. Many options – like the bard's Songs, elementalist's Storms, and necromancer's Foul Limbs – offer several subtypes and specialties. And that's not even counting hundreds of minor abilities and suggestions, several new spells, and more. From the silliness of Combat Haberdashery through the sheer power of the Secret Teleportation Spell, a true munchkin is sure to see something he likes. Fortunately for the GM, these power-ups come with guidelines for acquiring and using them . . . and for designing new ones.
While intended for Dungeon Fantasy, these power-ups are suitable for any GURPS campaign involving dungeon crawls, and are sure to provide players and GMs alike with new ideas no matter what genre they prefer!

Articles supporting this theme include thoughts on the beginnings of TSR, Inc., by Dungeons & Dragons co-designer Gary Gygax; alternate races and non-humans (including contest winners); and a silly (and perhaps familiar) adventure for heroes.
There are also articles for those who play other games, including systemless insight for playing thieves; a list of "don'ts" for GMs; tips for players of The Fantasy Trip; and Part 14 in the series "Game Design: Theory and Practice," co-written by Steve Jackson.
Whether you're a fan of old-school gaming or a historian of our hobby, each issue of Space Gamer is the perfect passport to the past!

Alien invaders! Giant lizards from another age! Flesh-eating zombies! Colossal insects! Mad scientists! Blobs! Only you can defend humanity, civilization, and the American Way from these terrible horrors.
GURPS Atomic Horror contains everything you need to roleplay the science-fiction and horror movies of the 1950s. The campaign can be as scary as The Thing, as dramatic as The Day the Earth Stood Still, as strange as Little Shop of Horrors, or as goofy as Plan 9 From Outer Space -- the choice is yours. Characters can be square-jawed scientists and military men, heroic explorers, misunderstood teenagers, cold-war spies, G-men, gangsters . . . or just ordinary folks caught up in unearthly weirdness.

GURPS WWII Classic: Motor Pool
World War II raged from the deserts of North Africa to the jungles of the South Pacific, the mountaintops of the Alps to the beaches of Normandy, to the high seas, the undersea depths, and the skies above it all. And everywhere were the machines of war -- the bombers, fighters, tanks, jeeps, ships, submarines, landing craft, and more, thousands of designs built by dozens of different countries.
GURPS WWII: Motor Pool is the definitive sourcebook for it all. Using the WWII Modular Vehicle Design System from the GURPS WWII Core Rulebook (itself derived from GURPS Vehicles), Motor Pool has complete stats for combat vehicles of all types, from all theaters and combatants, in mankind's greatest conflict.
No matter what type of GURPS WWII game you're playing, Motor Pool has the info you need to ramp up the action!

Space Gamer #38 (cover-date April 1981) goes for the gold – literally, judging by its bright-orange cover! The articles are fun to read, too.
In addition to the regular game reviews, news, and letters, this issue includes the results of the 1980 game survey, where Space Gamer readers shared their thoughts (and Space Gamer shares its thoughts on those thoughts); designer's notes for the crossover wargame/RPG Lords of UnderEarth; rules for used spaceships in Traveller; information on how to generate random dice rolls via a computer program; and Part 12 in the series "Game Design: Theory and Practice," by Steve Jackson. Historians may also enjoy longtime gaming stalwart Aaron Allston's review of the Dungeons & Dragons Expert Set. This issue also takes advantage of its proximity to April 1 by taking itself less than seriously: "The Complaints Department" describes what "really" goes on behind the scenes at Space Gamer, and the short story "The Double-Timing Double-Crossing Pick-a-Past Paradox" gives some insight into one possible problem with time travel.

GURPS Traveller Classic: Alien Races 3
Openly cooperative, apparently pacifistic, reportedly cowardly, the starfish-shaped Hivers don't seem to be empire-building material -- but they hold one in a secure grip. They won the only interstellar war they've fought after losing every battle, but with this most alien of the major races, looks almost always deceive. Inscrutable, patient, and subtle, the Hivers puzzle their neighbors more than they worry them. It should be the other way around.
An insectoid race scattered across the Imperium like so many gypsies, the seemingly insignificant Droyne often fall beneath the notice of Humaniti . . . and most Humans are foolish enough to think it's their own choice. A series of puzzles in their history and culture suggests that huge secrets lurk behind the compound eyes of these tiny sentients . . . and that the most awesome of the major races may come in the smallest package.
Alien Races 3 offers an expose on the Ancients themselves, and examines in detail the biology, homeworlds, culture, and society of the enigmatic Hivers and cryptic Droyne. Included are racial and career templates, sample equipment and starships, Ancient artifacts, and much more.
This book also includes a set of 36 Droyne "coyns" and instructions for predicting the future and making decisions, Droyne style.
Two new minor races are presented here as well:

Munchkin came out in 2001. Since then, we've published eight more core games and over a dozen expansion sets. We've learned a lot in the last nine years, and new printings of Munchkin and its sequels will change some cards for clarity or balance.
But we don't expect our fans to buy their Munchkin collection all over again. Instead, we created Munchkin: Go Up a Level. This box contains 132 updated cards. They span every Munchkin set except Munchkin 6 – Demented Dungeons, Munchkin Dice, and the Fairy Dust and Waiting for Santa boosters . . . none of which needs any updating.

The Munchkin was sleeping all snug in his bed, when Santa came back with a BOOT TO THE HEAD!
Santa's Revenge is a holiday-themed supplement for any Munchkin game. It goes especially well with Waiting for Santa, but you don't need WFS to enjoy Santa's Revenge. It adds Santa monsters like Harold Angel (as in, HARK!) and the Anti-Clause. And it gives you new things to hit those monsters with, from Snowballs to the North Pole. And the new Armor is Christmas Wrapping. John Kovalic had fun drawing this one. (Actually, he had fun with them all. You can tell by looking. You'll have fun too.)
This is an expansion for Munchkin, not a stand-alone set. Santa's Revenge is not collectible or randomized; every pack is the same as every other.

Illuminati: Mutual Assured Distraction
It's getting easier to find the conspiracies all around us. Just look at the news.
Illuminati: Mutual Assured Distraction is about today's headlines. Supermajority, Health Reform, Bank Collapse, Superpatriot Act, Economic Stimulus -- they're tools for world control. You knew it all along, didn't you?
This set introduces "New World Order" cards to the classic Illuminati game. A NWO card affects all the players, not just the one who put it down. This mechanic first appeared in the collectible card version of Illuminati. You liked it then -- so here it is for the original game.
Illuminati: Mutual Assured Distraction contains 18 NWO cards to boost, penalize, and offend major political and social groups of all kinds. There are also five special cards to trigger, add, or remove NWO effects.

When Cthulhu eats your sanity, you're in trouble. But when he eats your dice, he'll give them back.
The Cthulhu Dice Bag is soft plush, with far more eyes, tentacles, and wings than any ordinary dice bag. He'll hold dozens of ordinary six-siders or non-Euclidean polyhedrons in his zippered pouch. Or, of course, Sanity tokens from Cthulhu Dice. Or cursed jewels, or gravel, or bus tokens, or all of them together. Just remember that to get them out, you have to put your hand inside Cthulhu. If you are okay with that, this is the perfect dice bag for you.
Using the Cthulhu Dice Bag in summoning rituals is not recommended, but mostly because summoning Cthulhu is really a bad idea. Just let him hold your dice.

GURPS Low-Tech covers the basic tools used by historical adventurers from the Stone Age to the Age of Sail -- and still used by modern survivalists and post-apocalypse survivors when the high-tech toys fail.
Weapons and armor from antlers and rawhide to warhammers and heavy mail; adventure and travel gear from simple stone knives to early submarines; everyday items and tools of every trade. Low-Tech starts with the basics that suit any setting . . . and adds lots of culturally specialized inventions to support your campaign's particular flavor. For game masters, the discussions of past technologies -- based on up-to-date historical and archaeological research -- will be valuable no matter what system is used. For GURPS players, this book also covers the skills and traits that let adventurers make the best use of their equipment.
Whether the heroes are cavemen taking their first steps toward civilization, pirates on the Seven Seas, or anything in between, GURPS Low-Tech has the technology they need!
GURPS Low-Tech replaces GURPS Low-Tech for Third Edition, the TL4 parts of GURPS High-Tech for Third Edition, and the rules for equipment from many historical sourcebooks for Third Edition, from the TL0 tools in GURPS Dinosaurs to to the TL4 gear in GURPS Swashbucklers.

When Munchkin Dice went out of print, some really great cards became unavailable. Now they're back as a new booster pack: Munchkin Reloaded!
All your favorite cards have returned: the Race modifiers Dark and High, the class modifier Master, and of course the Reloaded Die (and we threw in an extra one, too!). This set also features the classic card Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies, from the virtual pages of Randy Milholland's hit webcomic Something*Positive.
And of course, all the art is now in full color!
This is an expansion for Munchkin, not a stand-alone set. Munchkin Reloaded! is not collectible or randomized; every pack is the same as every other.
This standalone pack is out of print, but you can get the cards from this expansion in Munchkin Game Changers.
Finseal pack containing 15 cards.

Deluxe Illuminati
(Reprint)
They're all around us. Secret conspiracies are everywhere, and where can you find the only truth? Certainly not in the game of Illuminati. Fnord.
The object of Illuminati is to take control of the world. The phone company is controlled by creatures from outer space. The Congressional Wives have taken over the Pentagon. And the Boy Sprouts are cashing in their secret Swiss bank account to smash the IRS!
Illuminati is a classic. It was an instant hit when it was first released in 1982 and won the Origins Award for Best Science Fiction Boardgame. It has been Steve Jackson's signature title ever since.
Two to six players compete to take control of groups ranging from the FBI and CIA to the Dentists, increasing their wealth and power for further takeovers, until one rules supreme. Every player has different victory conditions! No ploy is too devious, no stratagem too low, as you scheme your way to victory.
Boxed game.

Illuminati Y2K
(Reprint)
Even though the Y2K bug failed to knock civilization into a new stone age, it did inspire this expansion for Illuminati – inflicting another layer of weirdness on the already terminally weird. Add Alien Abductors, Cattle Mutilators, Gamers, and 73 other groups to your power structure. Twenty-six Special cards and two Illuminati groups – Shangri-La and SubGenius – further the frenzy.
Illuminati Y2K delivers even more ways to beef up your Illuminati and its puppets. Use High Fashion to channel megabucks to Discordia, or Computer Dating Services to add extra cards to the Network's hand. Play Red Scare, May Day, or Political Correctness to generate additional income or pump up Resistance, but only for one Alignment. Add your favorite organization, urban legend, or personality with the six blank Group cards.
And, of course, there are Ninjas!

Star Munchkin 2 – The Clown Wars
(Reprint)
The Munchkins take to the stars -- again!
Star Munchkin took the rules-bending, power-gaming, dungeon-crawling insanity of the original Munchkin and put the whole thing in space, where the monsters are more alien, the weapons more zappy, and the treasure -- well, there's still piles of treasure. Now Star Munchkin 2 brings the epic saga of The Clown Wars to life, except with better acting . . .
Strap on the Sprayser or X-Rayser and go ray-gunning for new monsters like the Nerds of Prey! Play a new race (the Bugs) or class (Space Ranger!), and do it all with Ralph, the Wonder Dog, by your side. This set also introduces a new card type: Rooms. Just open the door, and . . . "oh, noooooooooo . . .!"
The Clown Wars is a supplement; you will need Star Munchkin to play. Or you could add it to a game of Munchkin (or any of the Munchkin family!) instead, or mix them all together for a Munchkin-fest of truly mind-bending proportions!

The Munchkin's Guide To Power Gaming
There are those who want to play, and those who want to WIN. The whiners who don't understand "power gaming" call these people "munchkins." But what do we care?
In this outrageous satire, an experienced munchkin gleefully reveals the tricks of the trade: everything from re-rolling an unfavorable result to bribing the GM. Learn how to get the most out of character design, and why it doesn't really matter what your character's personality is as long as you get to FWACKOOM! the NPCs and grab their stuff. Munchkin GMs get their own chapter, of course: how to control the players, bend the rules, and up that body count!
Remember: If it's only a game, why do we keep score?

In Nomine: Ethereal Player's Guide
Once they were gods who ruled the lands of sleep. Once they were spirits who sent their images to slumbering mortals. Once they were elves, unicorns, dragons, and more.
The angels tried to kill them. The demons tried to enslave them. But the ethereal spirits survive -- and are born anew from human dreams! The War may be about Heaven and Hell, but humans aren't the only ones caught in the crossfire.
Now you can play those mysterious "neutrals," the ethereal spirits -- pagan gods, creatures of myth, and even the dancing toothbrushes from the last time you ate anchovies on your pizza. Woven from essential strands of concept, spirits have their own supernatural powers, Song affinities, and personalities.
Every second of the night, I live another life.
-- Heart, "These Dreams"
Now you can, too . . .

If your holiday plans include some quality gaming time . . . you want these Munchkin coins! With a green and a red Munchkin coin in each pack -- and the special rules below -- you'll be on Santa's nice list year-round! (We made a limited number of these sets, and when they're gone, they're gone forever . . . so don't get caught sleeping!)
1) Every month, the Munchkin Silver Piece rule changes, so go here to make sure you have the most current rule! (We put the URL right on the coins for your convenience.) The Christmas coins use this rule (but see rule 3, below).
2) You may use BOTH Christmas coins during the game, once apiece, and you are not required to give up the Christmas coins even if the rule says you do.
3) Rules 1 and 2 are suspended between December 25 and January 5. Instead, each coin is an unstealable one-shot item: the red coin's bonus increases from +1 on December 25 to +12 on January 5, and the green coin's bonus decreases from +12 on December 25 to +1 on January 5.
4) As an extra bonus, when you use the red Christmas coin, draw a face-down Door, and when you use the green Christmas coin, draw a face-down Treasure. You may put these in play immediately, even during combat.
One red coin and one green coin, plus rules.
