GURPS Andromeda

Return to Eldorado Drift
GURPS Andromeda Main Universe Notes Races

A few people in various places have commented that they'd like to see an Andromeda setting for a role-playing game. Well, I'm not particularly interested in writing a whole game supplement (I have a friend who did, so I have a bit of a clue what kind of work is involved), and I think it'll be a few years before any company is willing to jump on it for marketing anyway. So, I've decided to dust off the old GURPS books, and throw together some stats, etc. to assist anyone who wants to play in the Andromeda universe.

If you use these rules, I'd really love to hear how they work out. If you have something to add, or something that you think needs to be changed, E-mail me. I'd also like to hear if they work well.
