Atomic Horror
Watch the Skies! Alien invaders! Giant lizards from another age! Flesh-eating zombies! Colossal insects! Mad scientists! Blobs! Only you can defend humanity¸ civilization¸ and the American Way from these terrible horrors. GURPS Atomic Horror contains everything you need to roleplay the science-fiction and horror movies of the 1950s. The campaign can be as scary as The Thing ¸ as dramatic as The Day the Earth Stood Still ¸ as strange as Little Shop of Horrors¸ or as goofy as Plan 9 From Outer Space - the choice is yours. Characters can be square-jawed scientists and military men¸ heroic explorers¸ misunderstood teenagers¸ cold-war spies¸ G-men¸ gangsters... or just ordinary folks caught up in unearthly weirdness. GURPS Atomic Horror contains: A comprehensive guide to '50s politics¸ society¸ and attitudes suitable for any campaign - not just science fiction/horror. Five new alien races¸ completely described and ready to invade the Earth. In fact¸ some of them are already here! Guidelines for creating more than a dozen different kinds of movie monsters¸ from gill-men to carnivorous plants to living human brains in jars. Alternate-world campaign ideas¸ like a '50s where the Nazis won World War II¸ or a futuristic '50s where our own flying saucers conquer space. A detailed filmography listing dozens of '50s science horror films¸ from the classics to the turkeys. (This is a digital reprint of a GURPS Third Edition product.)
