GURPS Illuminati: The World Is Stranger Than You Think...

GURPS Third Edition

by Nigel Findley, Steve Jackson (Editor), Jeff Koke (Editor)

The Secret Masters have denied all knowledge of the various conspiracy theories put forth in the new GURPS Illuminati.
"To begin with, we don't even exist," said a spokesman. "The Illuminati are a myth." He went on to deny specifically that:
Everything you read in the tabloids is true! Aliens regularly visit Earth, and are in contact with high government officials.
The Men in Black are everywhere, and will snatch you from your home if you ask too many questions or just see something you shouldn't see.
Orbital Mind Control satellites cruise the skies, influencing international politics and deciding the fates of billions.
The Gnomes of Zurich control the world's monetary supply, and manipulate it to fit their own sinister plans.
The world is such a complex web of secrets, mysteries and conspiracies that nobody really knows what is happening. But everyone in power lies . . . all the time.
The only real way to protect yourself is to join the conspiracy. But even then, you'll never know who is pulling your strings.
Everything you know is a lie. Everything you suspect is true. The world is a very strange place.
Hail Eris! All Hail Discordia!
The publishers of GURPS Illuminati, Steve Jackson Games, admitted that it was a work of fiction, but added, "It's all true anyway! Just look at the book. It's closer than you think."

[Askaso · Rating 5 out of 5]

Una ambientación para GURPS llena de manos negras, sociedades secretas y teorías conspirativas.

Es una de las ambientaciones que más me ha divertido leer. Si estás buscando un libro de rol que ambiente partidas de conspiraciones, expediente X y similares este es, de sobras, el mejor. Trae muchísimas ideas de aventuras, ambientaciones, tramas imposibles, tramas factibles. De lo mejor que he encontrado.

Incluso si estás jugando a Trail of Cthulhu, Exoterrorists y similares, este es un buen libro que tener a mano. Trae muchísima, muchísima ambientación.

Lo dicho, ultrarrecomendable.
