In October 2022 we presented two offers – one new, one revived – featuring the current (Fourth) edition of GURPS, the Generic Universal RolePlaying System from Steve Jackson Games. The all-new GURPS 4E Horror Bundle continued the October Horrors sequence with terrifying sourcebooks, dripping with zombie gore, monster ichor, and a drenching horrifying-ness, by star horror-meister Kenneth Hite and many others. And for those who missed it four months earlier, the revived June 2022 GURPS 4E Essentials Bundle had the core rulebook and major supplements you need for the Horror titles.
(Note: All the titles in these offers were the versions for GURPS Fourth Edition.)
1. GURPS 4E HORROR [all-new]
There were seven titles in this offer’s 4E Horror Starter collection (retail value $58) as DRM-free .PDF ebooks, including the complete GURPS Horror Fourth Edition sourcebook, five bestiaries in the Creatures of the Night series – Creatures of the Night 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 – and Infinite Worlds: Worlds of Horror.
Those who paid more than this offer’s threshold (average) price also got this offer’s entire 4E Horror Bonus collection with eight more supplements worth an additional $88, including Kenneth Hite’s Horror campaign The Madness Dossier, five installments of the Monster Hunters series – Monster Hunters 1: Champions, 2: The Mission, 3: The Enemy, Monster Hunters Power-Ups 1, and Loadouts: Monster Hunters – and the undyingly popular Zombies and Zombies: Day One.
2. GURPS 4E ESSENTIALS
[from June 2022]
GURPS 4E Essentials had the core rulebooks and key supplements. With GURPS you can be anyone you want: an elf fighting for the forces of good, a spy on a deep-cover mission, a futuristic swashbuckler carving up foes with a force sword, or literally anything else. For more than three decades GURPS has been supported with hundreds of supplements and sourcebooks. This revived June 2022 offer once again presented .PDF ebooks of all the important rules and supplements you need to get started with the Fourth Edition (2004) of one of the longest-lasting and best-supported universal systems in the hobby.
There were six titles in this revived offer’s 4E Core Collection (retail value $88) as DRM-free .PDF ebooks, including the complete two-volume GURPS 4E Basic Set — Characters and Campaigns — plus Template Toolkit 1 – Characters, Adaptations, How to Be a GURPS GM, and the GURPS 4E GM’s Screen. (And, oh yeah, the free GURPS 4E Lite.)
This offer’s 4E Essentials Bonus Collection added seven more key supplements worth an additional $108, including High-Tech (and the High-Tech Weapon Tables); Ultra-Tech (and its Ultra-Tech Weapon Tables); Bio-Tech; Low-Tech; and Mass Combat.
Ten percent of each payment (after gateway fees) went to these two GURPS 4E offers’ pandemic-related charity, Direct Relief. Direct Relief sends protective gear and critical care medications to health workers, with emergency deliveries to medical facilities across the US and to regional response agencies across the world.
