The second of five or six parts of my (very) thorough review of GURPS Action 1: Heroes. This is Chapter 1 - the part about building characters.

I have completed my series overview of all the Action books.

Find the index post here.

These are very detailed reviews.

I've done a few reviews of GURPS products, mostly for 3e. Here's the 4e list:

Basic Set/system:
A Short History of GURPS

Powers:
The Advanced Set

Powers: Divine Favor
Holy Powers

All of those are reposts from RPGG, but it's a lot easier for me to find the links from my own blog. :P

I've got a half-written review of Thaumatology that I'm trying to get back to. There's a lot to talk about there.

As of posting, I have 15 reviews on my blog. I totally intend to review more whenever I fancy.

I have my long Sola Scriptura series, which is reviewing all of DF, a lethargic chapter-by-chapter.

Thanks a lot to everyone for keeping this going! People are more likely to try a GURPS supplement if they can see what other players and GMs think of it.

I really enjoy your Sola Scriptura series by the way!

As a by-the-way, I submitted my reviews as Web Links to the Action series over on the Board Game Geek RPG section for the respective books. Those reviews went live a day or so ago, so a 2-3 day turnaround.

I strongly suggest finding the Pyr Magazine volume or book there, and link to it. It might drive traffic to your site (but not much), but is a nice place to index things the crowd at large says about the games.

Thanks Douglas and Rasputin (and all the people who just wrote a review and did not boast about it here)! For all the long threads about little issues with GURPS, we wouldn't be here if we did not have fun playing it.

Edit: Ken Hite and Robin D. Laws gave a shoutout for GURPS Lite + the 3e historical supplements in episode 186 of their podcast.
