This review is from: GURPS Russia (Paperback)

GURPS Russia is a very beautiful sourcebook, describing a setting which is almost completely unknown to the "average" RPG player and Game Master. Inside this book you will find the details of a rich history, together with the description of very foreign, mysterious customs and beliefs, such as a forced coexistence of ancient pagan cults with Orthodox Christianity. Perhaps most important, you will feel the strange mood of Russian folklore, whose values and patterns are quite different from the ones the average Western person is accustomed to. In one word, the material inside GURPS Russia will provide the GM information enough to run a successful campaign with a distinct and peculiar flavor. It is not important whether you want a historical setting or the wildest high fantasy: the information on Medieval Russia found in this book will cover both with ease. One footnote: in Russia, the Middle Ages effectively ended in 1725 (Death of Peter the Great)! This opens interesting possibilities for crossover campaigns... If you are interested in historical campaigns in a low-tech setting, this book is a must!
