GURPS is the abbreviated term referring to Generic Universal RolePlaying System – but of course you knew that, as well as the fact that it was developed by Steve Jackson Games in the 1980s as a way for the gamer to play in pretty much any imaginary setting. The idea behind GURPS is that it allows a core set of gaming rules to be carried to any fantasy gaming environment, and with this difference to, say, comes a difference in the way characters are assigned abilities. Rather than the dice-based method of D&D, GURPS uses a points-based system, where each character has points to “spend” developing certain skills. Although generic and universal, GURPS isn’t open standard – as such you will need to be careful where you search for GURPS PDF files online. Finding Free PDF Files Online You need to be careful when looking for free stuff online – especially as you can end up visiting websites that are offering copyrighted material for free.

These sites should be avoided at all costs, more so when you’re looking for PDFs.
