  • 86. GURPS: Review

    GURPS is specifically designed to be able to make a tabletop game of anything out there. 30 years ago, this was an amazing feat but does it stand the test of time, especially with so many games out there? In this episode, we talk about how well a general and universal system actually works. Grab a mug, fill it full of the hot stuff, and sit back for a critical conversation about the Generic Universal Roleplaying System, by Steve Jackson Games.

    Welcome to Cantrips and Coffee, where each month we roast up a fresh batch of episodes on different tabletop roleplaying games. In our "anything but D&D" format, we explore different systems and review them to help you decide if they're worth your time and money. Join us next week for a special episode of Cold Brew with Jason, from Babies and Broadswords.
