Gurps Basic Set - 3rd Edition Revised - Steve Jackson - Basic Set - Role Playing
First released in its revised format in 1999, the GURPS Basic Set 3rd Edition Revised stands as one of the most iconic, highly adaptable core rulebooks in tabletop roleplaying history. Designed by Steve Jackson, the Generic Universal RolePlaying System (GURPS) revolutionized the hobby by offering a unified, point-buy system capable of powering campaigns in any genre—from gritty historical drama and hard science fiction to epic high fantasy and superhero adventures. The 3rd Edition Revised manual serves as the ultimate all-in-one foundation, containing complete rules for character generation, skill resolution, tactical combat, magic, technology, and game mastering.
This listing features the GURPS Basic Set 3rd Edition Revised softcover rulebook in brand-new, unread condition. While never played or read, the book exhibits minor shelf wear along the cover edges and corners from retail storage and handling over time. The spine remains uncracked, and all interior pages are crisp, white, tightly bound, and pristine.
