5.0 out of 5 stars
Fine Superhero roleplaying. THIS BOOK CANNOT BE IGNORED!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: GURPS Supers: Super-Powered Roleplaying Meets the Real World (Paperback)
If you're watching those "Superman" cartoons on a daily basis, you may enjoy this greatly. But if you're recording them, like me, this is a must have. "Supers" is an indespensible book to have at your side during any Gurps campaign, PERIOD. But if you're into superhero rpg's of any kind, i.e. "Champions" or anything based on an existing comic book company's universe, you may very well hear yourself let out a sigh of relief. This game allows thorough freedom/creativity/POWERS!!! you name it, it's got it. Including a great deal of oddly appealing pre-made super powered characters. Ever wish that "Captain Laser" could battle Cthulu in space? Me neither, but it certainly is something to think about. I give this book all the stars in the world. 5, I suppose. See also other GURPS titles.
