GURPS Third Edition
GURPS IOU: Welcome to Illuminati University!
Admit it. College would have been more fun if you were allowed to blow up the instructors. And you really would have liked to major in Military Biology, Anti-Social Sciences, Double-Entendre Bookkeeping, or Computer Wizardry. Too bad you didn't know about IOU.
Illuminati University is THE best place to learn Things Man Was Not Meant To Know. With departments like Weird and Unusual Science and Engineering, Inapplicable Mathematics, Misanthropology, and Zen Surrealism . . . not to mention extracurricular activities like Democrats for Cthulhu, Moopsball, and food fights that set off nuclear alerts . . . this is college as it should have been. And gadgets? Everything from the Crockpot of the Gods to the Enigmatic Alien Device Button-Pushing Table.
Illustrated by the one and only (two and only?) Phil and Kaja Foglio, this book supports three different campaign styles . . . Silly, Weird, and Darkly Illuminated. GURPS IOU takes you from creating a character to enrolling in classes, to study, finals, and the occasional academic blood feud, all the way to graduation.
If you survive.

Am I allowed to rate it highly? Can I rate it highly for the parts I didn't write? How about the art, by the fantastic Phil and Kaja Foglio? I rate that very highly indeed.

This was the most entertaining gaming setting I've ever read. It was also the ONLY one, in nearly 20 years of gaming, I've run without first having to tweak things to fit my tastes.
