The Stellar Imperium

An Original Role-Playing Universe based on the GURPS System

Well, in case anyone's reading, I changed my mind. When I wrote this material originally, I had only the vaguest idea of what GURPS was. Well, I've been educated. GURPS is one of the most versatile and capable systems I've ever seen. Unlike Palladium, GURPS is designed so that a true workaholic with an overactive imagination can create a truly deep and detailed world, with rules for building everything from battle suits to starships, along with some of the best character creation rules I've ever seen. So, I'm redoing all of the Stellar Imperium material to make it a GURPS universe. I expect to have most or all of the material redone by the end of October (wish me luck), hopefully along with a few pieces of short fiction from this world to try and bring it to life. The military organizations and roleplaying suggestions won't change as much as the other stuff, but the equipment is all going to be rewritten.

The unfortunate part about GURPS is that you need lots of books to really get the full effect. The books I'm using for this are: the Basic Set, Compendiums I and II, Space, Ultra-tech 2^nd edition and Ultra-tech 2, Mecha and Vehicles 2^nd edition, with a little splash of Martial Arts and Psionics. Yeah, that's a lot of books. At least Steve Jackson keeps the prices reasonable. Bon apetiet.
