GURPS The Vorkosigan Saga Sourcebook and Roleplaying Game Hardcover – November 13, 2009

This is a beautiful tribute to the popular and long-running Vorkosigan series by Lois McMaster Bujold.The author (Genevieve Cogman, not LMB) has obviously studied the series and background material at length and has done a wonderful job of compressing the large quantities of data in the stories into comprehensive and readable sections for this roleplaying guide. She has been aided in this effort by a liberal sprinkling of GREAT quotes from the series.The artwork, always very tricky in such a long-running but rarely illustrated set of stories, is excellent and adds considerable value to the book.This book is a must-have for any roleplayer who loves the series.I'm very seriously considering starting a campaign in the Vorkosigan universe but am trying to reconcile how to even out the experience for the two potential groups of players:1. People who have read the books until they are falling apart and know all the secrets of the universe2. People who've never read one of the books and are trying to figure out why group 1 tends to over-react at certain moments.The adventure seeds and commentary scattered throughout the book offer suggestions and useful hints about how to overcome the problem and roleplaying in this universe would truly be a wonderful experience.

I'm not into roll playing games. However, I do LOVE all the Vorkosigan books by Lois McMaster Bujold. I got this as a sourcebook and love it, especially all the pictures of the characters I've only imagined in my brain for so many years. I also found its explanation of the other worlds (Cetaganda & Beta Colony) very helpful. I'm very glad I purchased it!

While the market for this book might be a bit slight, as a fan of both GURPS and the Vorkosigan Saga, it was a perfect match for me. Though it can act as a standalone game, it is really best with a few other GURPS books. The book can also serve as a decent companion piece to the series.

A vers good source to play in the universe of the Vorkosigan Saga ! The illustrations (especially the character portraits) and informations about the universe are very useful, even if you do not plan to use it "powered by Gurps". [ I plan to use Fate Core]

This book is very well produced - like all the other Gurps 4e hardbacks. One nice thing I like is that it can be played many ways, just like Gurps Traveller Interstellar Wars.I will probably play this book out as written the first time around, then use it as a Traveller module after that. Other ideas include using it as a Star Wars adventure, etc.The illustrations are stunning and the book is a good reference for the Vorkosigan fans out there as well as Gurps fans. I'm a Gurps fan and it is just as well produced as the other Gurps 4e book I own.The book is very well written and a big asset to my collection. Ive gotten all the 4th edition hardbounds - this makes a nice collection now that I got the Vorkosigan book. The page count in my 4th edition hardback collection is about 5,000 pages - which is quite a nice amount. To me, the one book a month origonal schedule for publishing Gurps hardbounds was a bit much, however one a year is way too few. The amount of hardbacks is what they released in 2007 - four which seems to be about right. I'd STILL get those basic books - Black Ops, Cliffhangers, WW2, etc. out as 4th edition hardbacks asap.Overall, if you are a fan of the Vorkosigan Saga - get this book and if you are looking for a great Gurps adventure to play get this book for that.One last thing I like is the fact that Gurps lite is included making this a stand alone product. Nothing else is required to play it.

Otro gran suplemento para GURPS, como muchos otros. Si te gusta el universo de Miles Vorkosigan este libro trae mucha información jugable, tanto con GURPS como con otros sistemas.
