Update
 |
When the Third Edition of the GURPS Basic Set came out¸ it was a massive rewrite. There were far too many changes for a simple revision sheet. And while we hoped that everybody would want to buy the new edition¸ we couldn't very well demand it. Therefore¸ this Update. It includes¸ as best as we were able to judge¸ all the significant rules changes¸ additions and deletions between the Second Edition and the Third. So this book brings the user 'up to speed' with the most current version¸ as of February 1989¸ of the GURPS system: * The new advantages¸ disadvantages and skills. * Lots of assorted rule changes and clarifications. * The Fright rules which originally appeared in GURPS Horror. * New and revised charts and tables. * The new ranged-weapon rules. * The new job and income rules. * Revised ranged-weapon charts from GURPS Space¸ Humanx¸ Horror and Japan¸ to bring them up to Third Edition speed. * And four complete chapters¸ including Magic and Psionics¸ that weren't in the Second Edition at all. Much of that material appeared in earlier worldbooks; some of it is brand new. We decided it was all 'basic' enough to belong in the Basic Set¸ so here it is.
