GURPS Horror is out!

Stone Dog · 05-05-2011, 02:16 PM

And I would like to quote Kromm here... "GURPS Infinite Worlds: Worlds of Horror consists of all-new mini-settings. GURPS Horror will include two of Ken's original three mini-settings. We have plans to give the third its own PDF which will be neither Worlds of Horror nor Horror."

Combined with the fact that Seas of Dread and Blood in the Craters are in GURPS Horror, that seems to mean that The Madness Dossier is going to get its very own supplement!

I can't afford it now, but it looks like great reading!

Purchased, and awaiting free time to peruse.

Oh thank god, since the Madness Dossier was, by far, my favorite of those three mini-settings. Apparently, it was his too.

Also, this book is awesome. Combine the best of GURPS Horror 3e with GURPS Powers (with a horror angle), and then add some extra page-count. Fantastic.

Not as big as the original GURPS 4e supplements, and it isn't in full color. Will this be published as a soft-cover? Will it be printed at all?

Woah, I had no idea it was ready.

Lovely book. *steals bits of it for his Monster Hunters campaigns*

Great stuff! The content looks very good at first glance, really good work.

Admittedly I would have preferred a more illustrated version with color artwork but at least that way the price is lower....

Does anybody know if they are now waiting for feedback from the pdf-readers to get more errata included before the Hardcover gets actually printed? Or is the book already on the printer, so it does not matter anyway?

Agreed on both counts. I was pleasantly surprised with the price tag.

Well, it's longer than low-tech, so the size isn't an issue. And it has an ISBN number, so I gather it'll be in print.

I do not know what print-buying solution the company settled on in the end . . . the last description I saw was "176 black-and-white pages. Hardcover."
