Steve Jackson Games GURPS The Prisoner Sourcebook 1st Edition (Paperback - Used)

Based on Patrick McGoohan’s iconic, mind-bending 1967 British television series, GURPS The Prisoner brings the surreal world of "The Village" directly into the Generic Universal RolePlaying System. Designed by David Ladyman, this acclaimed sourcebook captures the paranoia, psychological warfare, mind control, high-tech surveillance, and escape attempts that defined the cult-classic TV show. Players take on the role of captive secret agents attempting to maintain their identity ("I am not a number! I am a free man!") while unraveling the secrets of the mysterious Village and dodging the fearsome Rover defense system. It stands as one of the most uniquely creative licensed tabletop RPG sourcebooks ever produced.

This listing features GURPS The Prisoner softcover sourcebook in used, worn condition. The book exhibits noticeable exterior handling wear, including creasing, corner rounding, edge rubbing, and surface scuffs across the covers. The spine shows visible crease lines from previous reading. Despite the exterior wear, the interior pages remain complete, fully legible, and firmly bound—making this an ideal, affordable reading and reference copy for Game Masters, fans of The Prisoner, and tabletop gamers.
