Munchkin Cthulhu Cursed Demo
This tuckbox mini-set contains 56 cards to help you bring new victims . . . errr, gamers . . . into the wonderful world of Munchkin Cthulhu . . .
First, there's a special 17-card demonstration deck, drawn from the Munchkin Cthulhu set. The cards are numbered, so you can stack the deck and play out four scripted turns that show the basic mechanics. And it only takes a couple of minutes. Instructions, dialogue, and stupid jokes are included. Or use your own stupid jokes -- we won't mind.
The other 39 cards are promos - eight different kinds! - to give away to friends, customers, or total strangers. These are completely new cards, each guaranteed to be more munchkinly, more insane, more cursed than the last. And we've included multiple copies. Every munchkin will want at least one of each. Will you be generous? Or will you demand tribute? Of course, you are a munchkin, so you will keep at least one of each for yourself, right?
56 cards and a rulesheet, in a tuckbox.

Lord of the Fries
Welcome to Friedey's, the Fast Food Restaurant of the Damned!
Our whole staff is dead, and we’re really short on brains. But we'll do our best to fill your order! Even a horde of nearly-mindless zombies can assemble combo meals. Sort of.
And now you're one of us. Combine frighteningly generic ingredients like "Cow Meat," "Sauce," and "Drink." Play from eight different menus, including Ratherbee's Steakhouse, the classic Friedey's Restaurant, and the new McPubihan’s. Build orders like Bovine Spongiform Yum, Yum, Yum!, Penne for Your Tots, Synaptic Relay Deteriorator, and Sheep wit' da Fishes. But be quick -- the customer is waiting!
Whoever fills the best orders gets the most points, and the zombie with the most points becomes . . . The Lord of the Fries!
This new edition of the classic Lord of the Fries includes large, full-color menus, a new restaurant, 8 alternate decks designed for 3-to-5-player games, color-coded dice, point tokens, and a timer.
100 cards, two dice, die-cut tokens, timer, full-color menus, and rulesheet in a 6" x 9" box.

GURPS Spaceships
(Reprint)
Three, two, one . . . Blast off!
GURPS Spaceships is the long-awaited companion to GURPS Space, presenting rules for TL7-12 spacecraft, from tiny lifeboats to giant dreadnoughts. It covers spaceship design, travel, and operations, along with a (mapless) space-combat system.
The ship design and operation rules in GURPS Spaceships are more abstract than those found in GURPS Vehicle Design or GURPS Traveller: Interstellar Wars . . . making them much faster, with a minimum of math and a maximum of colorful options. It takes only minutes to build even the largest spaceship . . . and wrapped around the design system are basic space-travel and combat systems to get you into space right away.
GURPS Spaceships doesn't include detailed finance, trade, or hex-grid-based combat rules . . . but these are on the way! It's the core book in a series whose other volumes will present examples of ready-to-use spacecraft and comprehensive rules for commercial space flight, warfare, exploration, ports, industry, and other aspects of space travel.
GURPS Spaceships requires only the GURPS Basic Set, but GURPS Space is highly recommended for its guidelines on stardrives, characters, campaigns, and settings.

GURPS Supers
(Reprint)
Men Like Gods
The 20th century gave birth to a new genre of fiction: the super-powered adventure. Men and women with strange powers gave a visible expression to the reader's sense of wonder, as they protected ordinary mortals from a variety of threats, from street crime to world-shattering disasters. When roleplaying games were invented, supers quickly became one of the most popular genres – and one of the most challenging to do right.
GURPS Fourth Edition provides the game mechanics and tools for the job, and GURPS Supers is your guide to applying them: a comprehensive playbook to the supers genre and to capturing it in your campaign. Focused on drama and characterization, it provides:
- A history and analysis of the supers genre, its precursors and variations.
- A guide to character creation, including powers and other abilities, codes of conduct, dual identities, and personal relationships.
- More than 20 new wildcard skills.
- 22 templates for super characters, each customizable to higher or lower power levels.
- Rules for creating equipment, vehicles, bases, automata, and magical spells.
- A guide to creating and running supers adventures.
- Continuity-creation guidelines and tools, so your supers universe can have the same depth as published worlds.
- New game mechanics for character creation, including new interpretations of advantages, disadvantages, and skills, and newly defined perks, quirks, enhancements, limitations, and techniques.
- Guidelines for running superhuman feats and combats under existing rules or adjusting those rules to fit the genre, and new game mechanics specifically for superhuman action.
GURPS Supers is a new work, but it draws inspiration from the previous editions of GURPS Supers. Using it to run a GURPS campaign requires the GURPS Basic Set and GURPS Powers. The material on genre conventions, character concepts and relationships, scenario creation, and supers universes can be used with any game system.

GURPS Mysteries
(Reprint)
A Dame Walks Into Your Office . . .
A dead body, no witnesses, and a room full of suspects with perfect alibis. Can you find the killer and bring him to justice? Learn the secrets of mystery fiction – and what will, and will not, work in RPG mysteries. Learn how to be a better investigator. Discover the problems you are likely to
encounter in a low-tech, magic, super-tech, or horror mystery.
GURPS Mysteries covers:
- Creating mysteries as stand-alone adventures, as part of an existing campaign, or as a campaign in their own right, with specific discussions of the low-tech, modern-tech, future, magic, and horror settings.
- Setting the crime scene, including detailed forensic information on causes of death, investigation methods, and a forensics timeline.
- Creating interesting villains, and matching their disadvantages to their motives and means of carrying out a crime.
- A template-based character-generation system for iconic investigators, including the genius detective, the hardboiled shamus, police detectives, investigating magicians, even "that darn kid."
- Sample detective and investigative agencies to hire or bedevil characters.
- Expanded rules for questioning and interacting with NPCs.
GURPS Mysteries, by the author of GURPS Cops, is designed both for the GM who wants to create and run mystery adventures and for players who want to play investigators in any setting.

of the clerical and ritual magic options hinted at in the
Basic Set, and the return of that

- Traditional alternatives to spells, such as ceremonial,
spirit-mediated, and runic magic.
- World-shaking freeform magic.
- Magic as inherent powers.
- An in-depth look at material magic, with new alchemy, herbalism, and

Magic, astrology, and traditional material components – to
any magic system.
- Guidelines for running magic-oriented games, advice on combining
magic systems, and detailed outlines for four distinctly different fantastic
campaigns.
GURPS Thaumatology requires the
GURPS Basic
Set, Fourth Edition. GURPS Magic
