GURPS: Generic Universal RolePlaying System

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! Thanks to its flexibility, quality writing, and ease of use, GURPS has been the premiere universal roleplaying game for over three decades!

More than 1,500,000 copies are in print – not counting foreign editions. GURPS Lite, a 32-page distillation of the basic GURPS rules, is available for free download. We also have dozens of GURPS adventures and e-books available on Warehouse 23.

Here are the last 15 GURPS supplements (including reprints and new editions) we have released, either in print or electronically. Click on a cover to go to that product's page.

March 31, 2025: 2025.25

Wow, the year is 25% over! One fiscal quarter down. One change of seasons, from winter to spring. I seem surprised because meteorological spring takes its precious time to pick up steam here in the Great White North . . . late November (and sometimes sooner) through early April (and sometimes later) is one long stretch of icy weather that keeps me at my desk working on GURPS.

Recent Releases

My apologies for adding nothing to the GURPS library in March. I could blame it on the economy and then say something quippy about why that is so, but I'll leave it there. Which said . . .

Upcoming Plans

. . . progress continued on all fronts. As usual, I'll list all the projects I'm cleared to name – along with the status of each (as explained here) – in order by how far along they are, which is roughly the sequence in which you'll eventually see them. Except where I've locked down a date, reality could diverge from this for any number of reasons.

GURPS Magical Styles: Traditional Styles, by Phil Masters, is in final production review and on target for April.
Matt Riggsby's GURPS Hot Spots: Istanbul, Bill Stoddard's GURPS Infinite Worlds: Gotterdammerung, and five manuscripts of my own (a Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game adventure, GURPS Action 10, GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 24, GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Monsters 6, and GURPS Power-Ups 11: Roll Your Own Skills) are edited and in various stages of production. I cannot promise specific publication dates, but we have plenty almost or actually ready to go.
I am about 90% of the way through editing GURPS Guns, by David Pulver, which will join the above list in the next month, if not in the next few days.
GURPS Martial Arts: The Bolognese School is still with author Nathan M.M. Meluvor to revise it into its final draft.
GURPS Banestorm: Whispers of Tohrent, by Thomas Pugh, should be through playtesting and in Thomas's hands for revision into its final draft very shortly.
The playtesting queue now consists of: GURPS Locations: Faculty Library, by John Shimmin, in April; GURPS Fantasy Folk: Fishmen, by Anders Starmark, in May; and GURPS Infinite Worlds: Psionics, by Matt Wehmeier, in June. The next call for playtesters was delayed, but expect it soon.
First drafts of Alden Loveshade's GURPS Hot Spots: Victorian London and Phil Masters's GURPS Magical Styles: Modern Magic await editorial review.

There are also at least 5 Sekrit Projekts which, by definition, I cannot discuss at this time. However, I update the GURPS thread in my DreamWidth every Friday, so I might leak some clues before the next monthly roundup here.

Needless to say, we have almost enough for 2025 and 2026. We might want a few rules-light 12- or 21-page items to fill out the schedule, however. If that sounds like your kind of writing, then check the Warehouse 23 Digital Wish List (updated February 14, 2025) and Warehouse 23 Wish List for GURPS (updated February 14, 2025) for specific titles of interest to SJ Games, and then prepare your proposals in a way that shows you're conversant with our Freelancer FAQ, Submission Guidelines, GURPS formatting guide, and GURPS WYSIWYG template. Thanks in advance for respecting our process!
