GURPS Atomic Horror is a supplement for the third edition of the GURPS role-playing game. Atomic Horror is a sourcebook for running GURPS campaigns inspired by B-grade science fiction and horror movies of the 1950s. It also has value to GURPS players and GMs as a sourcebook on the culture and technology of the period.
Contents
Atomic Horror details five alien races in the mold of the science fiction movies of the period: the Arendians, "energy fog" creatures who possess human host bodies; the human-seeming Loi, who may in fact be the ancestors of the human race; the brain-eating Metarans; the genetically engineered Alphans; and the far-future Vortuns, who inhabit the year 6000 and draw people forward in time (they are responsible for the Bermuda Triangle) to have their disembodied brains implanted into healthy bodies untainted by the future wars that nearly destroyed humanity.
