GURPS goes 4th Edition... yeappeeeaaaa

GURPS: Generic Universal RolePlaying System from Steve Jackson Games We are happy to get see that the new Edition of the GURPS system come out now. As the 3. Editon was still good it developed over the time some inconsistencies and knacks. For most games the old edition is stil good and mostly better as other "like to be" universal systems.
The main thing of change are a more modular system for rule uses. It give the Gamemaster a little bit better ability to set focus on "quick'n'dirty" or "high detail" characters and campaign planing. There are now skill-groups that can be used to represent a profession or university study that include some skills rather as before a lose collection of some skills a charakter learned. This give a muche higher degree in developing character story and background descriptions.
If you like to try it by yourself, there is a free aviable GURPS-light of the 4th Edition as PDF.
Or much better just order the "Gurps Basic Set: Characters" and "Gurps Basic Set: Campaigns" Basic Rulebooks at Amazon.com or Amazon.de
