GURPS Fan Settings

 

Fan Settings

A number of people have made and published their own settings using the GURPS system. Here are some of them.

• Icelanders Worlds - A discord channel on the Unofficial GUIRPS Discord server.
• Psi-Wars is a space opera setting inspired by Star Wars.
• Nen Psi Powers - Adapting Hunter X Hunter

Setting Conversions

A lot of people have already played other game systems or have stories they would like to play based on settings from novels, movies, or even TV.

I do not recommend converting a game system. It will be a lot of work and will not perfectly convert. However converting a setting is often more satisfying, even if that setting is in another game system.

Check out the published settings for official adaptations of many novels. Most were in GURPS Third Edition but converting to Fourth Edition is not that much work.

My Personal Settings

• Chalice World

This is a setting I have worked and reworked over the years, starting from GURPS Third Edition. The world sits in a chalice on the back of a turtle flying through the void.

• Game of Powers

A Supers setting diverging from our earth in the 1960s when super powers started to appear.

• Star Heist

A Space Opera setting designed to let players have starships pretty easily because gate travel allows small starships (starting at SM+4). It gets the name because it was created for some players who wanted to start off as smugglers and have an Oceans 11 vibe in space.
