GURPS Classic: China

ADD TO WISHLIST >

With 5,000 years of history and a quarter of the world's population, China is the perfect adventure setting . . . whether your campaign is magical or purely historical.

From the Great Wall to Tiananmen Square, from the Imperial Wars to the Boxer Rebellion, from Marco Polo to Mao, no fictional roleplaying setting can equal the scope and grandeur of China!

GURPS China also includes complete rules for translating the GURPS Third Edition magic system into a mythically accurate Chinese campaign. The Bestiary chapter describes the traditional ghosts, spirits, and monsters of Chinese legend, including Oriental dragons!

(This is a digital reprint of a GURPS Third Edition product.)

A one star (very negative) review from Amazon by a user named Shieldon:

I read over 20 GURPS books, most of them have text book quality that far beyond the need of simple game playing purpose. And because of the trusting I give to GURPS and as a Chinese I am, I bought the GURPS China.

And it is the first GURPS book I seriously feel regret for having bought it!

This book is full of XXX surprises during your reading process if you are a Chinese like I am or you at least have the RIGHT general picture about Chinese history and culture. I actually yelling "XXX!!" in midnight because of the shock this book gave to me.

Such as:
Shan Hai Jing is the God of Water in China. (WoW! This one really get me,)

China was ruled by barbarians every few generations. (Where was this idea came from? China was conquered twice, that's all. And the mongolian paid the price of about 90% of their population been eliminated after their short-lived dynasty been...See more

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
