GURPS Classic: Conan
The Greatest Hero of the Hyborian Age Was a Barbarian: Conan of Cimmeria!
Black-haired and sullen-eyed was Conan, a thief, a reaver, a slayer, with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth. Cycles of legend revolve around his name, glimpses of a world before history, where evil wizards performed dark sorcery, and where the fate of an empire turned on the strength and skill of a single sword.
GURPS Conan lets you enter the Hyborian Age, when shining kingdoms lay spread across the world like blue mantles across the stars . . . Zamora, with its dark-haired women and towers of spider-haunted mystery; Zingara with its chivalry; Stygia with its shadow-guarded tombs; Hyrkania whose riders wore steel, silk, and gold; and powerful Aquilonia, the proudest kingdom of the world.
GURPS Conan includes:
- A gazetteer featuring the people, customs, laws, religion, and mysteries of 34 lands in the world of Conan.
- A bibliography of Conan stories: names, races and nationalities, places, and more.
- Maps and historical information for the entire Thurian continent, from the isles of Antilla to the coast of Khitai.
- Spells of the Hyborian Age, including the enchantments of the mysterious Black Ring and the potent sorceries of the Book of Skelos.
- Rules for generating Hyborian Age characters.
- Advice on running a Hyborian Age campaign and how to roleplay the non-human races, including Degenerate Men, Serpent People, and Satyrs.
- GURPS stats for characters from the Conan saga, including Conan, Bêlit, and Thoth-Amon.
Based on the Conan stories by Robert E. Howard, L. Sprague de Camp, and others.
(This is an e23 reprint of a GURPS Third Edition product. GURPS Magic for Third Edition is also helpful, but not required.)

GURPS Classic: Fantasy Bestiary
Creatures of Fantasy
This extensively researched book, based on authentic folklore and legends from all over the world, is a perfect resource for the GM of any fantasy campaign. It includes more than 250 fantasy animals and plants, ranging from interesting nuisances to monstrous menaces. Each is covered in detail, with a physical description, likes and dislikes, attitude toward mankind, and means of attack.
The main section is organized alphabetically, with creatures ranging from the voracious Afanc to the noxious undead rodents that men know as Zombie Gerbils.
These rules and creatures are written for use with the GURPS Basic Set, Third Edition, but can be used with any fantasy system. Some of this material was previously published in the GURPS Bestiary but the majority is newer. All of the older beast descriptions have been reworked and brought up to Third Edition standards.
The GURPS Fantasy Bestiary also includes:
- Special chapters on Dragons and Fabulous Plants, with many examples of each.
- A chapter on Mythological Motifs that lets players customize any creature from this book or the GURPS Bestiary. These rules can enhance the creatures of any fantasy game you play, making this a truly generic book!
- The spells needed for many of the magical beasts and plants in this book.
- A detailed look at different types of animal and plant poisons.
- Two tables, each listing every creature in the book. One is arranged alphabetically, for easy reference. The other is organized by habitat, to let the GM quickly find an appropriate creature for any terrain or situation.

GURPS Traveller Classic: Planetary Survey 5 - Tobibak
The Savage Sea
The world called Tobibak lies slightly off the beaten track in Corridor Sector, a world 99% covered by ocean and overlooked by history for centuries. When Humans came, it was to exploit, not to settle, but Tobibak was already inhabited -- by a primitive intelligence mysteriously similar to another aquatic race from many light years away. TobiCorp exploited the natives as unpaid labor, using them to help mine the sea bottom and harvest the teeming schools of shrimp for sale offworld.
When a TobiCorp scientist discovered the truth, his conscience led him to expose the company's crimes, and Tobibak was taken over by the Imperial Ministry of Colonization.
Water worlds have always fascinated science-fiction fans, and Tobibak is a treatment in depth (so to speak). On Tobibak, Humans cooperate with the native aquatic race to develop a planet with vast animal and mineral wealth, dodging mammoth hurricanes and marauding predators. But the waters of Tobibak conceal enigmas -- who brought the aquatic sophonts, and why? Explore the mysteries in the depths of Tobibak.
Still waters run deep . . .

Pyramid #3/39: Steampunk
Get All Steamed Up!
It was a time when the genius of gears and the power of perseverance seemed enough to shape the world. This month's Pyramid -- the PDF magazine for roleplayers -- revisits this exciting era, bringing to life the power of "Steampunk." This impossibly imaginative issue includes:
- "Order of Precedence," a look at social hierarchies and their implications in Victorian England. Written by GURPS Steampunk and GURPS Social Engineering author William H. Stoddard, this feature uses the guidelines of Social Engineering to bring interpersonal intrigue to your steampunk world.
- "Across Africa With Iron and Steam," an alternate-history campaign locale that expands the possibilities of the Age of Steam. Written by GURPS Fantasy-Tech 1: The Edge of Reality author Matt Riggsby, this near-historical setting provides info and history on the Trans-Kenya railway, including dangers (human and otherwise) and politics. It also comes with a map as well as GURPS vehicle stats for a personal airship.
- "Necromenschen," a guide to how to give that steampunk style to your zombie invasion. Written by GURPS Line Editor (and GURPS Undead author) Sean Punch, this ghoulish guide gives GURPS details and design options for getting your body moving!
- "The Clankers," this month's Eidetic Memory offering from GURPS Fourth Edition co-author David Pulver. This adventure outline puts the peace of the city in the heroes' hands, delivering GURPS vehicle and weapon stats for the cogwork creations in the process.
- "A Whisper in the Sky," a look at fantastic gliding innovations for your steampunk campaign. Written by GURPS WWII: Their Finest Hour author Michele Armellini, this one gives GURPS stats for its vehicles as well as optional rules to claim the heavens.
- "The Mohocks," a systemless gang to victimize the Victorian era. It gives their history, motivations, and main members.
This Pyramid also offers the latest Random Thought Table from Steven Marsh's lab, a Murphy's Rules that goes back to the drawing board, and more. There's no doubt about it: This month's Pyramid is our steamiest yet!
