Whatever the setting, Ultra-Tech has the tools to do the job.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mannaggia ai laser!
Reviewed in Italy on January 21, 2022
Manuale che, attraverso le sue diverse incarnazioni, ha lo scopo di fornire i giocatori di GURPS (e non solo, visto che lo si potrebbe tranquillamente adattare - con un minimo di lavoro - per qualunque gioco di ruolo fantascientifico) con le cognizioni e le tecnologie tipiche delle ambientazioni fantascientifiche, spaziando dalla fantascienza "hard" (o "industriale" come si usa dire oggi) fino alla Space Opera più pura, con tutto quello che può esserci in mezzo tra i due estremi.

Lungi dall'essere un mero catalogo di roba ad alta tecnologia, infatti, il volume esplora anche come e perché si potrebbe giungere a determinate tecnologie e quale impatto potrebbero avere, sia sul mondo reale che sul mondo fittizio di gioco, senza però dilungarsi inutilmente in dotte disquisizioni sul sesso degli angeli, come invece fin troppo spesso accade con i giochi dell'ultima generazione.

È proprio per questo che tutto il materiale risulta flessibile ed adattabile, anche perché la maggior parte delle statistiche di gioco sono riportate nelle tabelle a fine volume, mentre ogni singolo equipaggiamento gode di una descrizione - approfondita, dove necessario - su come e perché funziona e quali sono i suoi effetti.

L'unico punto dolente, almeno per me (e non per niente l'ho scritto nel titolo) è l'armamento laser, cioè la BASE di qualsivoglia gioco fantascientifico che non voglia essere legato ad un'ambientazione più tipicamente industriale/cyberpunk e che non si sa per quale motivo, nelle varie edizioni di questo manuale è sempre stato riportato con queste regole - secondo me abbastanza astruse - per le quali queste armi infliggono punture di spillo, qualunque sia la quantità di energia che le si pompa dentro, a meno che non siano "automatiche", nel qual caso si usano "a raffica" ed ogni colpo a segno si somma, sull'assunto, abbastanza fantasioso, che il tiratore piazzi l'intera raffica su un unico bersaglio e anzi: su un unico punto del bersaglio stesso, senza la benché minima deviazione!
Considerando come funzionano i laser - quelli VERI, sperimentati proprio in questi anni dalla Marina degli USA ergo dalle FF.AA. israeliane - va da sé che questa cosa nella realtà NON funziona ma tant'è...

A parte questa "pecca" il manuale resta ancora oggi un ottimo prodotto anche se NON si gioca a GURPS, come ho detto prima. Dal momento poi che è tornato (finalmente) reperibile (grazie Amazon per questo), per di più ad un prezzo tutto sommato equo ed in un'edizione che è addirittura migliore dell'originale di fine anni '80/primi anni '90, direi che è quello che si può definire un BUON acquisto.
