GURPS RPG Basic Set 4th Edition Characters NEW HC
Published in 2005, this GURPS 4th Edition core rulebook from Steve Jackson Games is NEW: Brand new unread copy.
Anything You Want.
Basic Set: Characters combines information from Basic Set, Third Edition and Compendium I , plus hundreds of new and updated rules!
GURPS is the most flexible roleplaying system ever created. With just this book, you can adventure in any world you can imagine. Use all types of weapons from clubs to lasers... magic and martial arts... psionics and superpowers.
Create exactly the character you want to play... your favorite fictional hero, or your own invention. Choose from over 400 advantages and disadvantages, over 350 skills, spells, and techniques. Customize your character with individual perks and quirks, and you're ready to go.
No more switching game systems when you change campaigns! GURPS gives you one set of clear, comprehensive rules to cover any background. This new Fourth Edition is based on 16 years of gamer feedback from the Third Edition, and is faster and easier to play than ever before.
GURPS makes the Game Master's job easy and fun. All rules are carefully organized, indexed, and cross-referenced. Charts and tables are clear and legible. And to help you introduce new players to the system, there's a "Quick Start" section which covers the basics in a few pages... and the introductory version of the rules, GURPS Lite, is available free online!
This is Book 1 of the two-volume Basic Set. Only this book is necessary to play. Game Masters, and players wanting more detail, will find Book 2 valuable.

About Me
Hail and well met! Welcome to Hieroglyphs Books! I've been a gamer for 20 years (wow, that's scary!), and so you can be sure that I'm describing items accurately as to condition and contents. I've used most of the modules and books myself, so I know what's supposed to be there.
I work full-time in addition to selling books on eBay, so please be patient if you don't receive an immediate response from me. I do try to ship items the next day after payment is received, though that may not always be possible. Condition Description
I try to describe my items as clearly as possible, so you understand exactly what you are bidding on.
- New: Item still in shrinkwrap, or has obviously never been used.
- Mint: Shrinkwrap has been removed, or shrinkwrap is damaged. There are no material faults with the cover and the pages.
- Near Mint: There are one or two small flaws with the cover or the pages. This would include whitening on cover edges or stray pencil marks inside.
- Very Good: Item has multiple small flaws, such as whitening or stray pencil marks.
- Good: Item has multiple flaws that could include damage to covers or pages. Does not affect the useability of the item.

Return Policy
I want you to be happy with your purchase. Unlike other stores, all sales are not final. If the item you receive differs materially from what I listed, please contact me within 30 days of auction close, and I will refund your purchase price (minus any shipping charges). Winning More Auctions
