Horror (3e)
 |
Das Quellenbuch GURPS Horror erschließt Dir die ganze Fülle des Übernatürlichen¸ der Schrecken und Geister aus dem Jenseits ebenso wie der menschengemachten Nachtmahre und Grauen. All die schauerlichen Wesen und Dinge aus Deinen Lieblings-Horror-Filmen¸ -Büchern und -Comics kommen jetzt zu Dir ins Haus¸ mit allerdings einem entsetzlichen Unterschied - diesmal sind sie hinter Dir her!
All types of horror are covered¸ from mad slashers to classic myths to Things Man Was Not Meant to Know. The latter provides the best joke in the book¸ as the authors acknowledge they can't talk about the works of H. P. Lovecraft 'for fear of vile Ai'Shunzuv Khoppi rites.' In a sidebar¸ the authors suggest Call of Cthulhu as an excellent resource for that. Three main campaign settings are provided: Victorian England¸ Roaring 20s and Modern Day.
Horror has always been one of the most popular GURPS settings¸ and GURPS Horror is its definitive resource. The Third Edition of this classic sourcebook was revised and updated by Kenneth Hite. It replaces the previous edition historical settings with three brand-new campaign frames designed specifically for horror play. The focus is widened from supernatural horror to include psychological¸ cosmic¸ conspiratorial¸ and other subgenres. And many monster types are given racial templates so they can be used as PCs!
