This review is from: GURPS Atlantis (Paperback)

This is an incredible resource. One of the best suppliments I've read. The research of course in incredible. It starts out with a selection from Plato's Republic and goes all the way up to modern day nuclear subs.

Gurps adaptability is naturally a draw for this suppliment. Fantasy, Special OPs, Black Ops, Imperial Rome(or Roman Myth), Aztec, 20000 Leagues under the sea, Supers(Wonder woman was from atlantis).

This review is from: GURPS Atlantis (Paperback)

This book is a great compilation of many theories and tales about
the mythical and/or lost continent of Atlantis.

As it is actually a Background SourceBook.
this resource can be used for any RPG game, not only GURPS,
and could even be used by novel authors,
or to find ideas for a movie and/or game synopsis.

As a consequence, this is NOT a ready-to-play RPG supplement,
So don't plan to use it to play a RPG session right out without a (lot of) preparation.
By the way, only a few NPC characteristics are specifically described.

The most difficult part will be to choose which one you will use
of all these interesting possibilities about Atlantis,
because many of them are just mutually incompatible.

You might end using only a little part of this book.
But which one, you don't know yet... so it is surely worth reading !

I bought a used copy from Liber-Amator, here at Amazon.com.
I'm very satisfied of their overall service, which was very fast.
The only critic I would made would be about the UPS packaging,
which resisted the trip to Europe well... but looked like it possibly could have not !
Anyway, the book I received was in fact almost new. Thanks, guys !

Have fun with this mine of golden ideas !
