GURPS Zombies (2013) [+]
Mar 09 2020
GURPS Zombies is a 160-page GURPS 4E sourcebook about zombies.
Chapters
Zombie-Maker is pretty cool. Runs 19 pages. For each step it gives you a bunch of options, their cost, and how they affect your zombie.
The rest of the book is the usual GURPS goodness. A lot of GURPS specific information but a lot of ideas that can be used in other RPGs. I found it an interesting read.
