3.0 out of 5 stars
Good, but not great,
By Richard (Sheffield, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gurps Special Ops (Paperback)
Packed to the gills with both essential information and military minutae, GURPS Special Ops would make a useful resource book for newcomers to military roleplaying. However, there are better books on the market. Although SJGames has taken a good stab at the field, the genre already has a surplus of good sourcebooks. Older roleplayers will remember Twilight: 2000 and its exhaustive cataloguing of military detail. Like T2K, GURPS Special Ops suffers from a problem endemic to roleplaying in general: Americano-centrism. While this book gives us exhaustive detail on the various shapes and forms of US Special Forces (and the various confusing duplications of capabilites), information on non-US forces (the UK, Russia, Israel, France etc ...) is sparse and, in parts, incorrect. While GURPS may be generic in terms of rules, it fails to be generic in terms of nationality.
