Book Description

January 1, 1997 GURPS: Generic Universal Role Playing System
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Conspiracy Theorists Beware!, October 4, 1999
By 
John (Ocean Springs, MS USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: GURPS Warehouse 23 (GURPS: Generic Universal Role Playing System) (Paperback)
You only thought you knew conspiracies. But in this book, it all comes to light! WAREHOUSE 13 is a light-hearted look at the paranoid that lurks inside all of us. The premise is that somewhere, hidden away in a secluded mountainside, is a darkened storage facility that contains a myriad of things that THEY don't want you to know exist!

And what a collection!

Clones of current and past presidents, androids, mind-control devices, the Ark of the Covenant, the Spear of Logenes, even up-to-date files on YOU! It's all in here! If you have ever imagined that our beloved and benign government might be hiding something from us, this book will put you onto cloud nine!

A wonderfully delightful addition to any conspiracy-based game, or just a rollicking good read!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good background and sauce material, September 9, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: GURPS Warehouse 23 (GURPS: Generic Universal Role Playing System) (Paperback)
There's some great stuff for your campaign in here. I've already used it in mine (a government conspiracy / Bigfoot sort of thing). Some of the artifacts could have had a better basis in history (but then again, maybe they do :-)

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome book, March 27, 2004
By 
This review is from: GURPS Warehouse 23 (GURPS: Generic Universal Role Playing System) (Paperback)
This book is awesome, I am a huge conspiracy nut and this book showed me just some of the stuff that our government might be hiding from us. Even if you are not a fan of roleplaying games, I sincerely recommend this book if you are a fan of conspiracies, or are just too damned paranoid for your own good.
