GURPS Basic Set – 2004 Origins Nominee

Origins Nominee for Best Role-Playing Game of 2004

GURPS Basic Set

Baron Janos Telkozep

Written by Steve Jackson, Sean Punch, and David L. Pulver
Edited by Andrew Hackard and Steve Jackson

GURPS has been the premiere universal roleplaying game for decades. The current Fourth Edition makes it even better!

With GURPS, you can be anyone you want – an elf hero fighting for the forces of good, a shadowy femme fatale on a deep-cover mission, a futuristic swashbuckler carving up foes with a force sword in his hand and a beautiful woman by his side . . . or literally anything else!

In August 2004, Steve Jackson Games released GURPS Fourth Edition, starting with the two-volume Basic Set. In addition to the regular Basic Set books, we did a special, one-time Deluxe Edition. We printed only as many as were pre-ordered, and we set aside a few for sale at GenCon 2004 and for retail stores that asked very nicely.

These are truly deluxe books. Both volumes are bound in bonded leather with two-color foil stamping. They have buckram-textured endpapers and sewn head and foot bands. Book 1 includes a special full-color autograph page in front, with the signatures of Steve Jackson, Sean Punch, David Pulver, and Andrew Hackard. (Yes, real signatures, not printed copies.)

Each book has a full-color dust jacket, embossed, varnished, and foil stamped. The two volumes come in a heavyweight deluxe slipcase . . . also full-color and foil stamped, with linen texturing.

Two hardcover volumes (336 pages and 240 pages) in a slipcase.
Price $125.00 * Stock number 01-0003
