Before there was a
Pyramid, even before there was a
GURPS, there was a
Roleplayer. It was originally produced as promotion for the
Generic Universal RolePlaying System,
GURPS. Issue #12 heralded the debut of the Third Edition of
GURPS with an article by designer Steve Jackson. One of the biggest changes in the rules, the firearm rules and statistics, were explained, and the firearm charts from
GURPS Horror were corrected and reprinted in this issue. There was also an article on using disadvantages in character creation and a designer's article for the upcoming
GURPS Swashbucklers. All that, plus the usual peek at the new releases, errata, and rules Q&A.
