Steve Jackson Games Is Bringing Bungie’s Myth to GURPS in November
Steve Jackson Games has licensed Bungie's Myth for a GURPS sourcebook due in November, the first GURPS book based on a computer game.
Bungie’s Myth is headed to the tabletop. Steve Jackson Games has licensed Myth: The Fallen Lords and Myth II: Soulblighter for GURPS Myth, a sourcebook expected this November, and it marks the first time a GURPS book has been built on a computer game.
For anyone who has only lived on the computer side of the hobby: GURPS, the Generic Universal Role-Playing System, is Steve Jackson’s adapt-to-anything ruleset, one of the most popular roleplaying franchises for over fifteen years, from the company behind Ogre, Car Wars, and Illuminati. Tabletop gaming predates computer gaming by decades, and Steve Jackson Games says it picked Myth for the depth of its story and the detail of its world. The book will dig into the setting’s lore, from the ancient feud between the Ghols and the Dwarves to the origin of the Great Devoid.
Computer games borrowing from tabletop is old news. The license flowing the other direction is still rare enough to notice, and Myth’s backstory has always deserved more room than a mission briefing gives it.
