Demo Version

If you want to get an idea what GURPS Character Builder is like before you buy it, you can download the demo version. It's about 10 megs in size. It will let you design characters, but not save or print them. You are, by the way, free to redistribute the demo, as long as you don't charge for it or make changes in it.
