GURPS Third Edition Revised Information

edit

The following is straight from the 6th printing of the book page 232:

"After eight printings of the GURPS Basic Set, Third Edition, you’d think we had it just about right. Well, yes . . . and no. As we went to press with what started as the ninth printing, we looked at the book and said, “Wait a minute! This is 1994!”

Since GURPS first came out, a number of really (pardon the expression) generic rules have appeared ... rules that should be in the Basic Set. Most are for character creation – advantages, disadvantages and skills that would fit into almost any genre.

So, not without regret, we dropped the “Caravan from Ein Arris” group adventure. It’s a good adventure, but face it – almost everybody who buys GURPS already knows what an adventure looks like. That gave us 18 pages, and here they are." (sic)--2606:A000:131D:6018:203A:9C68:E667:7D4 (talk) 14:34, 2 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
