Gurps

Steve Jackson has been running Steve Jackson Games for 46 years, but is passing the baton and intends to spend more time designing games as opposed to running the day-to-day business of his company.

Bundle of Holding are currently not offering one, not offering two, not even offering three… but offering FOUR bundles of GURPS tabletop roleplaying bundles courtesy of Steve Jackson Games... and that's just the start of the GURPS 4E Week promotion!

Crowdfund Quest is a daily column that takes us on an expedition into tabletop crowdfunding with a look at a current project in the tabletop gaming world.

The Last Starfighter (Universal Pictures, 1984) is a meritocratic, sci-fi-opera western featuring an arcade game in a mundane trailer park - or in my ten year old mind - a chip-shop in Redditch. Unbeknownst to the deep-fryers, the most skilled players were secretly being recruited as pilots for an interstellar war. The ultimate fantasy for everyone who was trapped in the hopeless mundanity of the 8-bit working class: your gaming skills might mean something, someone is watching and you're special. The high-score was a key that could unlock a gateway to another life entirely.
