Review of GURPS Martial Arts, Second Edition

Goto [ Index ]
Martial Arts is a supplement for the GURPS system.

The rules are comprehensive and good, but the gamemaster should have the MA book in his memory. Otherwise the combat gets loooong. (It reminds me on battletech). But this problem is general for GURPS, so those who are not demoralised by it should go for the supplement.

Why? Well, the martial art styles are well researeched. OK, some argue that his style is not complete or a bit different (like I did), but at the end everybody admitted that it is a great supplement for somebody who does not practices martial arts.

For more serious gamers who want "only" a good information source on martial arts, and for those who play GURPS (especially cinematic campaigns) this bok is a must.
