Science Fiction & Fantasy Editorial Review
The GURPS Basic Set Characters, Fourth Edition B&W Softcover, published by Steve Jackson Games, has garnered a range of customer experiences, reflecting a mixture of nostalgia and disappointment.

Users report that the system is well-organized, simple to learn while offering depth for seasoned players, making it a flexible choice for character creation in various settings. The illustrations and layout receive high praise, underscoring the book's appeal.
