Behold . . . The GURPS Basic Set, Fourth Edition Revised!

It began with a dream: What if we could take the beloved, decades-old, three-column, two-volume GURPS Basic Set for GURPS Fourth Edition and update it to be one volume, graphically refreshed, two-column (to match more-recent books) . . . and keep every header and page reference the same, to maintain compatibility with the entire Fourth Edition library?

Oh, and – while we're at it – maybe squeeze in some awesome rules from other supplements in the extra pages?

Thanks to the herculean efforts of production sorceress Nikki Vrtis and GURPS mastermind Sean Punch, we did exactly that . . . and it's a glorious 592-page achievement.

Right before slipping out the door to Gen Con, we managed to put GURPS Basic Set, Fourth Edition Revised on Warehouse 23, as a pre-order for the hardcover, the instantly downloadable PDF, and – for the first time via W23 – a bundle where you can get both at a fantastic savings.

The lift-with-both-hands hardcover should be making its way to retail very shortly (if it's not already there!), and the fans who got to see it at Gen Con were all so agog to see the few copies we brought that I actually used the word "agog."

If you've been with GURPS Fourth Edition for the past however-many years, thank you so much for your support. We hope you're as happy with this "love letter" to the gargantuan library as we are. If you're new to the Fourth Edition, there's never been a better time to see this classic . . . revised.
