GUR GURPS Illuminati -- $16.00 The Secret Masters have denied all knowledge of the various conspiracy theories put forth in the new 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: Everything you read in the tabloids is true! Aliens regularly visit Earth, and are in contact with high government officials. The Men in Black are everywhere, and will snatch you from your home if you ask too many questions or just see something you shouldn't see. Orbital Mind Control satellites cruise the skies, influencing international politics and deciding the fates of billions. The Gnomes of Zurich control the world's monetary supply, and manipulate it to fit their own sinister plans. The world is such a complex web of secrets, mysteries and conspiracies that nobody really knows what is happening. But everyone in power lies ... all the time. The only real way to protect yourself is to join the conspiracy. But even then, you'll never know who is pulling your strings. Everything you know is a lie. Everything you suspect is true. The world is a very strange place. 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." 128 page paperback. Regular price $19.95. GUR GURPS IOU -- $16.00 Admit it.

Illuminati University is THE best place to learn Things Man Was Not Meant To Know.

Regular price $19.95. GUR GURPS Warehouse 23 -- $16.00 DANGER! THIS SIDE UP! The Ark of the Covenant rests in a crate next to the gold plates of Moroni and the dissected corpses of the Martian invaders. Frozen in ice you'll find the Jersey Devil, a Yeti, and a bacteria that can eat any metal -- it just can't STOP. Growing in a hidden hydroponics facility is a plant with a fruit that tastes like steak, with enough nutrition in a single serving to sustain you for a week. The plates they serve it on in the cafeteria are made of a 100% biodegradable plastic that -- while it's still fresh -- can absorb the kinetic energy of a tank shell without even spilling your drink. You don't want to know what's in the drink. The global power balance teeters on the brink of chaos. We touch too much too soon. We discover things we were never meant to comprehend: Relics created by the whim of mad genius, or aliens, or gods -- or godlike DEMONS . . . substances so potent that a handful could destroy our world, computers so subtle that no network is secure from their manipulation, sorceries dark enough to annihilate the purest soul. Somewhere, those with true Power have built a facility to imprison these forces . . . for proper study. For our own good. To insure order. Until THEY decide to unleash them. They know WE aren't yet ready for the contents of Warehouse 23. But are they? Your players will be delighted. At first. 128 page paperback. Regular price $19.95. GUR GURPS Faerie -- $18.40 They lie, steal, kidnap, maim, and kill -- and we put them in our children's nurseries. They are the Fair Folk . . . the Little People . . . the Faeries. You may think the only appear in tales, but they are everywhere: in the shadows, behind the trees, beneath the hills -- and yes, even under the bed. They have lived beside us since the very beginning.

Regular price $22.95 GUR GURPS Fantasy Bestiary -- $18.40 Creatures of Fantasy . . . This extensively researched book, based on authentic folklore and legends from all over the world, is a perfect resource for the GM of any fantasy campaign. It includes more than 250 fantasy animals and plants, ranging from interesting nuisances to monstrous menaces. Each is covered in detail, with a physical description, likes and dislikes, attitude toward mankind, and means of attack. The main section is organized alphabetically, with creatures ranging from the voratious Afanc to the noxious undead rodents that men know as Zombie Gerbils. These rules and creatures are written for use with the GURPS Basic Set, Third Edition but can be used with any fantasy system. Some of this material was previously published in the GURPS Bestiary but the majority is new. All of the older beast descriptions have been reworked and brought up to Third Edition standards. The GURPS Fantasy Bestiary also includes: Special chapters on Dragons and Fabulous Plants, with many examples of each. A chapter on Mythological Motifs that lets players customize any creature from this book or the GURPS Bestiary.

GUR GURPS Cabal -- $18.40 The creatures of myth are real. The vampires, the warlocks, the shape-changers and dopplegangers, the ghosts and trolls, and more. They're real . . . they're here today . . . and they're organized. The Cabal is the conspiracy, trade union, and mutual-assistance society that lets all these creatures survive in a world of hostile humans. If a demon needs a lawyer to keep the exorcists off his back . . . or if a little old vampire lady needs a bit of daylight muscle . . . who are they gonna call? The mortal-busters . . . the Cabal. Written by Ken Hite, this book also includes a detailed system of Hermetic magic that expands the original GURPS magic system. The Cabal can be a Patron for monstrous PCs or an antagonist for monster-hunters.

Regular price $22.95 GUR GURPS Goblins -- $17.60 Life in London is nasty, brutish and short. So are you. . . This game more or less relates to the sad lives and hard times of persons living in late Georgian London -- that is, the city is more or less London, the individuals concerned are more or less persons, and King George is more or less late. The year is 1830. A roleplaying game usually sends characters on an exploration, in which they seek elusive treasure through uncharted jungles, ruins and dungeons, overcoming obstacles and whacking monsters with magic or astounding technology. Such things are sadly rare in this game. GURPS Goblins is set in a city, where every square inch has been trod by one and a half million pairs of feet, and all obstacles are marked on a handy street map. The ruins and dungeons are far from uncharted -- the only creature who never explores them is the landlord who rents them out. The magic is dubious. The technology isn't astounding. There are however plenty of monsters, in every conceivable shape and size. They live in the characters' houses; eat their food; buy groceries at the same market. Many of them are relatives. The characters of GURPS Goblins roam well-worn, familiar streets in a sea of unwashed, diseased rogues and villains. The characters are unwashed, diseased rogues and villains. They seek the same elusive treasures that all do -- gin, glory, and bags of money. 144 pages. 90 color pages. Regular price $21.95. GUR GURPS Grimoire -- $16.00 Magic Awaits . . . Mages struggle to probe the mysteries of life, death, time and space.

Savvy wizards stay current with Technology Magic, and give "machine power" and "rad" entirely new meaning! everal new sub-colleges also add flexibility in dealing with weather, electricity, ice and acid. An expanded chart of spell prerequisite, and a handy table for quick reference, are included. And Scott Paul Maykrantz, author of GURPS Creatures of the Night, expands the GURPS Magic tables for generating Demons.

GURPS Magic presents a colorful, detailed magic system. But it's much more. It is designed for easy modification . . . for the GM who wants to create his own background, or set adventures in the world of his favorite fantasy author. And it's flexible.

The book focuses on 18th and 19th-century Europe, including the beginning of the end of colonialism. GURPS players will find a wealth of roleplaying information about commoners, soldiers, nobles, spies, privateers . . . and revolutionaries. Filled with the superb research which roleplayers expect from a GURPS historical supplement, Age of Napoleon breathes life into bloody battlefields . . . as well as the equally bloody political intrigue of Napoleon's Europe. As always, Game Masters can combine GURPS Age of Napoleon with many of our other worldbooks (such as Old West, Swashbucklers, Time Travel, or - for a really wild game - Steampunk). There's no limit to the possibilities . . . in the Age of Napoleon. 128 page paperback.

It delves into their mythological and magical lives and history. 128 page paperback. Regular price $19.95. GUR GURPS Cliffhangers -- $18.40 Living on the Edge! Adventure on the crumbling brink of disaster, dodging the jaws of death with barely a pause for breath between perils.

The nameless Pharaoh confronted by Moses before the Exodus of the Hebrews from Egypt was only one out of an unbroken string of 200 "living gods" in that country.

GUR GURPS Places of Mystery -- $18.40 GURPS Places of Mystery is designed for use with a very wide range of games. This is a book of places and locations, chosen because they all have at least a hint of the unusual about them. Some are widely believed to be centres of great magic; others "merely" have an interesting history, or unique features. Others again are simply amazing tourist spots, for one reason or another. The sites chosen for this book are nearly all buildings, cities, or other human constructions. We've slipped in a few natural places of mystery, such as Ayer's Rock (which is just as much a sacred site as the Church of the Holy Sepulchre) and Loch Ness (which we just couldn't leave out), but they are exceptions to prove our rule. The rule was instituted mostly because of the space we had available, and the need for a consistent "style." No doubt, someone could also write GURPS Geography and Geology, and in fact it would have almost as much gaming potential. (And we'd quite like to see it.) But this supplement is about the creations of humanity -- in humanity's slightly stranger moments. Incidentally, some of the buildings mentioned in this book are intact today, but time, nature, and the human tendency to fight wars being what they are, many are in ruins, or actually lost. (One or two probably never existed in the first place.) Still, ruins have lots of atmosphere; remember the conclusion of Shelley's poem. So let's go places. 128 page paperback. Regular price $22.95. GUR GURPS Russia -- $16.00 GURPS Russia presents the Russian world from its beginnings in the 10th century to its new beginnings in the early 18th. In this book, the GM will find complete details on the history, folklore, and daily life not of the Soviet Union or of the Imperial Age, but of medieval Russia -- a culture that seems all but forgotten in the twentieth century, overborne and overshadowed by the U.S.S.R. To most Westerners, the word "Russia" is synonymous with communism, nuclear war, competing space programs, and WWI-level farm equipment serving in the fields of The People. This book puts characters into the Russia of the Middle Ages, from the 10th century to the 18th. It also opens up the world of Russian folklore and fairytales, where all sorts of interesting -- and sometimes frightening -- creatures dwell. 128 page paperback. Regular price $19.95. GUR GURPS Vikings -- $18.40 "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! 128 page paperback. Regular price $22.95 GUR GURPS Who's Who 1 -- $16.00 History is full of people who were stranger than fiction. People you'd want to meet. People you'd pray to avoid. People who changed the world. This book gives complete descriptions and character stats for 52 of the most interesting people in history, ready to serve as patrons, allies, enemies or role-models. From the man who united China to the REAL Dread Pirate Roberts; from the voice of an empire to a roistering aristocratic astronomer with a silver nose; from a doctor so brilliant that his foes ran him out of town, to a king with 1,200 wives but not a single heir! It's written for GURPS, but it's easy to translate into any system. 128 page paperback. Regular price $19.95. GUR GURPS Who's Who 2 -- $16.00 Stranger that fiction . . . and stranger than ever . . . The second volume of 52 real-life characters for historical and time-travel games introduces an even more varied collection of personalities. From the Bronze Age to Punk Rock, the Mayan Empire to Japan, From priest-kings to rocket scientists, philosophers to courtesans, From steppe-lords to saints, playwrights to tyrants. . . Through brilliance or luck, charisma or courage or sheer lunacy, these are the people who stamped their very different images on history. When your players face them, in battlefield, court, or laboratory, they can change the world - or at least, come away with quite a story. Each character is represented by a full GURPS character sheet, biographical notes, and scenario ideas from the subtle to the bizarre - ready to use in games, or adapt as NPCs or role-models. 128 page paperback.

GUR GURPS Planet Krishna -- $16.00 For decades readers of science fiction have enjoyed fantastic adventures on the second planet of Tau Ceti, courtesy of the fertile imagination of L. Sprague de Camp. Now gamers can join in the fun. For the uninitiated, Krishna is a distant planet inhabited by green-skinned beings very similar to humans. The world is the scene of some of the most entertaining swashbuckling adventures ever written. As a setting for roleplaying games it is a trove of wonders. Brave Earthmen can engage in swordplay beneath the triple moons, and win the hand of a beautiful green-haired princess! A pirate queen and her stalwart band waylay ships on the Sadabao Sea! Tailed cannibals menace castaways on the island of Fossanderan! The world of Krishna is a combination of classic space opera with hard-science realism and a dash of humor. If the Krishna stories are space opera, they are space opera as written by Gilbert and Sullivan rather than Wagner. The brave Earthman is liable to be a novice tour guide or a scheming con artist. The pirate queen is fat and middle-aged. And the tailed cannibals mend their ways after a stiff talking-to by an Oxford man. On Krishna, a hero who wins the hand of a princess must then live with the consequences of being married to a woman who lays eggs, on a world where dinner is eaten still wiggling and executions are a popular form of entertainment. Since the entire planet is under an embargo which forbids the import of advanced technology, adventurers cannot clank about in powered battlesuits, menacing the natives with plasma cannon. On Krishna, the Earthmen and the green-skinned natives are on an equal footing. Characters must rely on their wits as much as on their swords. Game Masters who are tired of players who shoot their way out of every difficulty can see how well they do without their technological toys. Regular price $19.95.

The ancient Patron clans can't decide whether to enslave the races of Terra . . . or just wipe them out. The Galactics have wealth, power, and incredible technology. The people of Earth have guts, originality and a handful of allies . . . and they won't give up. This is the universe created by David Brin for his award-winning "Uplift" series.

The second book in the GURPS Traveller Alien Races series, Alien Races 2: Aslan and K'kree addresses the biology, home worlds, culture, and society of the fierce Aslan, the centaurian K'kree, and two minor species. It details their historical involvement with the Imperium, from first contact to present, and presents racial templates, rules for playing alien characters, and examples of unique technologies and ship designs. The Aslan warrior race has a mindset focused on honor and glory; their traders and mercenaries are found throughout the Spinward Marches and the Solomani Sphere. Their wanderlust and combative nature make them well-suited to adventuring as player-characters. Their habit of insidiously grabbing land when no one is looking also makes them good recurring adversaries in a campaign. The militantly vegetarian K'kree are driven by their faith to rule the Galaxy, and eliminate all meat-eaters. Players may join this crusade, fight against it, or simply try to make a living while it goes on around them. The K'kree are constantly embroiled in skirmishes with the Vargr, and keep an uneasy peace along their borders with the Hivers and humanity. Alien Races 2 also features two new minor races: The Inyx are a race of aquatic parasites who absorb electrical energy from their whale-sized hosts.

Regular price $20.95. GUR GURPS Alien Races 3 -- $18.40 The third book in the Alien Races series describes two of the MOST alien races in the Traveller universe - the Droyne and the Hivers. The Droyne, which Imperial archaeologists are beginning to suspect are identical to the ancient race that scattered Humaniti and created the Vargr, are among the most pacific of all the inhabitants of the Imperium. But if they were once so powerful, why have they given up on the jump-drive and the other trappings of interstellar power? What did they learn that Humaniti will not? And what about the Hivers, the strange six-limbed creatures who dominate dozens of other races within their Hive Federation? Why do they treat their offspring so strangely? Does their incredible intelligence translate to wisdom? Or does their lust to manipulate others represent a threat to the Imperium? Also described are three minor races: the Hiver's laughing mercenaries, the Ithklur; the tiny nocturnal Lithkind; and the fluorine-breathing Inheritors, who inhabit a Dyson sphere created by the Ancients. Special bonus! This book includes "gold" cardboard punch-out versions of the 36 Droyne coyns, and complete instructions for Droyne divination. Droyne characters can now "cast the coyns" to determine their future actions . . . and Human characters can wonder why it works . . . 144 page paperback. Regular price $22.95.
