GURPS, full the Generic Universal RolePlaying System, is a roleplaying games rules system developed by Steve Jackson Games and licensed for use in gaming modules.

Overview[edit]

Published originally in 1986, with the initial game core rules written by Steve Jackson,[1] GURPS has been acclaimed for its easy modification abilities.

Game mechanics[edit]

The GURPS system favors a robust, mechanistic system that gives a set of basic rules upon which to build expanded modules in one or several genres or settings with the required interchangeable special rules additions.

Each GURPS module is intended to be used with the GURPS core book. The basic set 4th edition was published in 2004.[2]

Supplements and modules[edit]

GURPS and furry[edit]

Several of the Steve Jackson Games' GURPS modules are of furry interest, such as "GURPS Bunnies & Burrows", but more specifically the furry fandom inspired module, GURPS Furries:

   
GURPS
 Lions And Tigers And Bears – That's Us!

Two seconds after the first humans met the first animals, people started to blur the lines. They imagined animal-headed gods, talking beasts, totem animals, and human-animal hybrids, and also used beasts as symbols for human traits... all of which eventually gave rise to "funny animal" cartoons and finally the full-fledged anthropomorphic animals found in modern-day animation, comics, games, and novels. These beings and others like them are commonly labeled furries.

GURPS Furries brings this wonderful world to your game. It provides game-mechanical guidance on creating suitable templates for "furry" characters – from the biologically plausible, through the fanciful, to the cartoonish – and backs that up with a long catalog of examples suited to a wide variety of genres. Beyond the stats, it gives advice on integrating these beings into your campaign in background roles, as a major presence, or as the primary focus.

Because humans could stand to learn a thing or two about being civilized. - Written by William H. Stoddard.
