GURPS I.S.T does something few games have tried, put a realistic spin on what super powered beings would do to the world at large. Most games revolve around a "heros fight villians, villians lose, villians escape, villians fight again, nothing changes in the world at large" mileu. Not so GURPS I.S.T. The supers in this world cause lasting changes and have altered history, which is why I can't recommend this sourcebook enough. While I personally do not like GURPS at the Supers level (the system tends to go a little weird after a certain point) it makes a great source book for any Super Hero role playing campaign.

GURPS International Super Teams is a superheroic roleplaying world that doesn't fail to take into account--unlike too many others--the fact that if metahumans existed, they'd be studied to improve the lot of all mankind. I like this book...so much, in fact, that if I could move to IST Earth, I would.

A supplement for organised superheroing in the GURPS world, detailing the politics, setup and personnel of an international agency dealing with superhumans.
