    Campaign generation by randomized GURPS sourcebook

    This table was inspired by a quote from Robin D. LawsrCO saying

    When in doubt, blindfold yourself, take any two GURPS sourcebooks
    off the shelf at random, and combine the results.

    Ok, this is a bit pointless but alsorCa not. I mean, who has a d140
    anyway? Or in fact even so many GURPS books? But I wanted to list all
    the GURPS books, excluding some of the sub-books for different lines, no matter how good they are (so e.g. no Discworld Also, and none of the
    Traveller supplements EXCEPT Interstellar Wars, which is a distinct
    enough setting in my book).

    I bet I missed some.

    So what is it? Just a list of all GURPS sourcebooks except the most mechanical.

    IrCOve been thinking of adding some quality fan-made books as well, which
    are floating around the net. I bet one could get some good stuff out of
    those as well.

    I never really cared for GURPS as a rule system, but I always love using
    their sourcebooks as a starting point to work out ideas for my own
    games. And most of the stuff is indeed so generic that I can easily
    rework things into DnD, Traveller, Shadowrun, or what have you. So take
    a d140 (sigh, or go to a website that does it for you) and roll up your
    next campaign.
