Review of GURPS Who's Who 1

Goto [ Index ]

Would you like to meet the man that united China? How about Nikola Tesla? King David? Then you need to pick up a copy of this book. There's over 52 historical personalities in this book, including some that you probably never heard about in your history classes. Each entry has full stats, with options, and all of the information that you need to know to properly portray the character.

SJ has a long and shiny track record of proper research, so you know that you can count on the information presented to be accurate. That is a big selling point, but even better is the long-standing fact that just about every GURPS book is easy to convert into any other engine ever published. The other is that this book has all of the really cool historical character that many of you always wanted to meet. (There will be more in the next volume.)

If this is your thing, shell out the cash and get a copy. It's a fun read, and it's a bloody useful book.
