3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, but not essential, October 17, 2000

In my mind, there are two kinds of Gurps books. Those with new rules and new systems to handle new situations, and those that just provide background information for a certain genre. Aztecs is a book of the second kind.

I have to say that I am biased heavily towards the first kind of book. If you study up on Aztecs, you could run an Aztec campaign just fine without owning this book, and if you don't know a fair amount about Aztecs then it doesn't seem to likely that you are going to be trying to build a campaign around them.

Like most GURPS books, it is well written and well researched. If you like to read GURPS books for inspiration, and to learn things, you will probably like this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Impecable, August 3, 2003

This review is from: Gurps Aztecs: Sacrifice and Glory in a Lost Civilization (Steve Jackson Games) (Paperback)

This book is a fantastic resource. It reads like a Very intersting history book. Ideal for a Spanish Conquistador style campaign, or as a savage native. Also don't overlook the crossover possibilities. Great for a "Lost World" campaign in whatever setting you play in. Also great for use in conjunction with Gurps Swashbucklers, early spanish main era.
