List of published GURPS settings

[Vaevictis Asmadi]

For the longest time I thought GURPS only had a few published campaign settings -- basically the major flagships. I've been learning I was wrong -- this week I decided to count how many and get a list of them. There are a LOT! (140+)

After going to the trouble of making a list for myself of every GURPS campaign setting published as a book, pdf, or pyramid article (not including most of Pyramid vol. 2), I figured I should post it where it might be useful.

I included the pared-down genre series, and the worldbooks that aren't available in English, but not the short campaign seed blurbs. Each setting I listed has at least a Pyramid article or a significant chunk of a chapter in a book, enough for a GM to run an adventure or two and get started fleshing it out.

Links included where possible.
Italic titles are available in 4E. (The rest are not.)
