GURPS

GURPS (Generic Universal RolePlaying System), created by Steve Jackson Games in 1986, is designed specifically to be a role-playing game that adapts to any imaginary gaming environment. In 1989, GURPS won the Origins Award for Best Roleplaying Rules of 1988 , and in 2000 it was inducted into the Origins Hall of Fame. Many of its expansions have also won awards.

GURPS in other media

The computer game publisher Interplay licensed GURPS as the basis for a post-nuclear war role-playing computer game in 1995. Late in development, due to miscommunications between the two companies, the GURPS character building system was replaced with the SPECIAL System, the GURPS name was dropped, and the game was released under the name Fallout.
