Based on the classic 1989 four-part Japanese anime series, from the mind of Japan`s prominent storyteller artist, Masamune Shirow! In the year 2010 A.D., the Earth is a very unfriendly place -- the atmosphere is a poisonous bacterial soup, vicious underworld organizations have run of the cities, and the governments are virtually helpless. Leading the attack on society are the sexy and ruthless cat sisters, Annapuna and Unipuma, and the grotesque half-cyborg, Buaku. The last line of defense against utter chaos is Newport City`s Tank Police: a team of trigger-happy officers with an affinity for demolition and disaster. The book offers a complete role-playing game (featuring Guardians Of Order`s Tri-Stat System), an extensive resource and reference section about the popular series, and a full-colour gallery of spectacular animation art. For role-players and Shirow fans alike!

But it doesn't stop there! BRCS is sufficiently flexible to allow players and GMs to design and stat-out nearly any robot, vehicle, structure, or giant monster from any genre in a matter of minutes -- from motor bikes to space stations, mecha dragons to pirate ships. All this from a flexible creation system that minimizes overly-complex game mechanics and maximizes your creative potential!

The Future is Alive
"Who needs chrome, pal? Meat is where it's at now. Mother Nature always did it best –– she just needed a little help. Get down to the black clinic, old-timer, and you can be 15 again. That is, if you still want to be human at all." It's the technology of the posthuman age: biotech! Upgrade your old body with steroids and smart drugs, transplants, and viral nano . . . or just get a new one. Maybe you don't think being human is so great? Then improve on nature with eugenics and gene-fixing. Or just go parahuman: if you love cats, become one! The technology's changing fast, but you'll have lots of time to get used to it –– death is only a temporary inconvenience with cryonics and immortality drugs. And who needs silicon and steel? Vatbrain biocomputers are where it's really at!
But it's not just about the future. GURPS Bio-Tech includes a full range of 19th, 20th, and 21st-century medical equipment, from early vaccines to surgical robots, along with game stats for the world's most deadly diseases. GURPS Bio-Tech also includes a complete set of character templates for biotech professions, rules for biotech magic, and two original campaign settings: an alternate Earth ruled by a clone of Alexander the Great, and a living starship on its way to colonize an alien world! Say goodbye to your old body. Have you upgraded your genetics this year?
This is the second edition of GURPS Bio-Tech. It has been revised to the GURPS Fourth Edition rules and expanded to cover medicine, drugs, magic, and new technologies. Some entries were introduced in GURPS Space, GURPS Robots, and the Transhuman Space series.

GURPS Bio-Tech

Morgan-Mar, David

There Will Be War! Whether you're trying to stop the Dark Lord's invading army, lead a Ranger company against the Axis in WWII, or command your own crack mercenary regiment in a far-flung star empire, you're likely to get into battles that are far too big to resolve with ordinary GURPS combat. GURPS Mass Combat is the answer! It presents a powerful abstract system that lets you resolve land, sea, and air battles at any tech level. Features include:  Rules for logistics, movement, reconnaissance, and many other things that matter to a military force even when no enemy is in sight. Integral treatment of air superiority, amphibious assaults, airborne troops, sieges, and everything else that's important when the enemy is in sight. Round-by-round resolution that puts the commander in control, letting him choose his strategies and instantly see the results of his skill and cunning. Equal attention to the aftermath of battle: pursuit, casualties, looting, recovering losses, and more.  Everything is fast and easy to use in play, thanks to extensive examples, quick-reference tables, and ready-to-go stats for the strength, weaponry, and mobility of numerous unit types. It's all generic, too, covering realistic, fantastic, and superscience troops at every tech level, and providing guidelines for customizing their quality, special training, and equipment. And it never loses sight of the fact that GURPS is a roleplaying game – every hero gets a chance to shine, and the rules emphasize what the PCs do and what happens to them. GURPS Mass Combat requires only the GURPS Basic Set, Fourth Edition.

Three, two, one . . . Blast off GURPS Spaceships is the long-awaited companion to GURPS Space, presenting rules for spacecrafts of every size and function.

And the design systems are augmented by straightforward space travel and combat systems, to get you into space right away. GURPS Spaceships requires only the GURPS Basic Set, but GURPS Space is highly recommended for its guidelines on stardrives, characters, campaigns, and settings.
