Men Like Gods

The 20th century gave birth to a new genre of fiction: the super-powered adventure. Men and women with strange powers gave a visible expression to the reader's sense of wonder, as they protected ordinary mortals from a variety of threats, from street crime to world-shattering disasters. When roleplaying games were invented, supers quickly became one of the most popular genres – and one of the most challenging to do right.

GURPS Fourth Edition provides the game mechanics and tools for the job, and GURPS Supers is your guide to applying them: a comprehensive playbook to the supers genre and to capturing it in your campaign. Focused on drama and characterization, it provides:

  • A history and analysis of the supers genre, its precursors and variations.
  • A guide to character creation, including powers and other abilities, codes of conduct, dual identities, and personal relationships.
  • More than 20 new wildcard skills.
  • 22 templates for super characters, each customizable to higher or lower power levels.
  • Rules for creating equipment, vehicles, bases, automata, and magical spells.
  • A guide to creating and running supers adventures.
  • Continuity-creation guidelines and tools, so your supers universe can have the same depth as published worlds.
  • New game mechanics for character creation, including new interpretations of advantages, disadvantages, and skills, and newly defined perks, quirks, enhancements, limitations, and techniques.
  • Guidelines for running superhuman feats and combats under existing rules or adjusting those rules to fit the genre, and new game mechanics specifically for superhuman action.

GURPS Supers is a new work, but it draws inspiration from the previous editions of GURPS Supers. Using it to run a GURPS campaign requires the GURPS Basic Set and GURPS Powers. The material on genre conventions, character concepts and relationships, scenario creation, and supers universes can be used with any game system.

Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2022
Is a good option to those that do not have theirs copies anymore or that have missed the opportunity to buy those great books when they were on the market. Great quality and full of nostalgia. Unfortunately - or not? - the books are as humble in design and art as they were. These on demand print are not a updated version of sorts.
Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2021
This was just a repurchase for 4th Edition. I have the 3rd Edition already and love the information in the book.
Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2019
The Book is well written and is historically accurate with all of the GURPS books
