During a rise of " retro " games in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Steve Jackson Games entered negotiations with Dennis Sustare and Scott Robinson, the current owners of the Bunnies & Burrows copyright, to publish an official GURPS supplement.

In 1988, Steffan O ' Sullivan wrote an unofficial conversion of Bunnies & Burrows to GURPS while the negotiations continued.

GURPS Bunnies & Burrows was published in 1992.

Steffan O ' Sullivan, who wrote GURPS Bunnies & Burrows notes, " The game has also been published as a GURPS supplement, but I usually play it in Fudge these days-the simpler rules seem to work better for this genre in particular.

In spite of these first impressions, the game has generally received positive reviews: Lafayette, for example, goes on to say that it is " really hard to fault GURPS Bunnies & Burrows ", as it is educational, realistic, whimsical and clever, while the game has also been described as a " work of genius ".

In some role-playing games, particularly those derived from Dungeons & Dragons, experience points are used to improve characters in discrete experience levels ; in other games, such as GURPS and the World of Darkness games, experience points are spent on specific abilities or attributes chosen by the player.

Some systems that use a level-based experience system also incorporate the ability to purchase specific traits with a set amount of experience ; for example, D & D 3rd Edition bases the creation of magical items around a system of experience expenditure ( known as burning xp ) and also uses a system of feat selection which closely matches the advantages of systems such as GURPS or the Hero System.

* The second type of setting is for games that have multiple settings such as modern Dungeons & Dragons or those that were developed specifically to be independent of setting such as GURPS.

Examples of games with prolific solitaire lines were Dungeons & Dragons, GURPS, Das Schwarze Auge, DC Heroes and Call of Cthulhu.

* In 2004 GURPS 4e Basic set won the " Pen & Paper Fan Award " as Best RPG and was an inductee in its RPG Hall of Fame.

BRP is similar to other generic systems such as GURPS, Hero System or Savage Worlds in that it uses a simple resolution method which can be broadly applied, in this case an attempt to roll under a certain number with percentile dice.

GURPS Traveller ( GT ) uses the GURPS character creation and task resolution system developed by Steve Jackson Games, and Traveller HERO ( TH ) uses the HERO System developed by HERO Games for character creation and task resolution.

" The game uses the GURPS ( Third Edition ) system and takes place in an alternate timeline in which no Rebellion occurred and the Virus was never released.

This setting book uses the 4th Edition of the GURPS rules, and hence is referred to by some as " G4T " or " GTIW.

GURPS International Super Teams, the 1991 worldbook for the " house campaign " for the GURPS Supers rules, uses " metahuman " as the formal scientific / academic term employed within the setting for a human with super-powers.

BRP was conceived of as a genre-generic engine around which any sort of RPG could be played, much like GURPS and the d20 system have become today.

Rather than being a rigidly pre-defined set of rules like d20 System or GURPS, Fudge offers a customizable toolkit for building the users ' own specialized role-playing game system.

Once again the game system was replaced, this time with the GURPS system from Steve Jackson Games, but the setting was returned to the one laid out in the original Traveller, albeit as an alternate history in which the assassination and subsequent fall of the Third Imperium never happened.

Autoduel America, the setting for Car Wars, was developed for role-playing games ( RPGs ) using Steve Jackson Games ' GURPS system ( called GURPS Autoduel ).

* Steve Jackson Games published an adaptation of Vampire: The Masquerade using their popular GURPS generic table-top roleplaying system.

FUDGE, because of the looseness of the rules system, GURPS and the Hero System, through design, do not need to have rules added for a world change-although a little character adjustment may be necessary because of the different way the new world sees the character ( e. g., in a new world the fact that a character is an officer of the law in the previous world may no longer be relevant except for character background ).

Others, such as GURPS and FUDGE, take a moderately realistic core system as their baseline, which can be extended or modified by optional sourcebooks or special rules.

There also exists a third-party guide to converting Albedo for use with the GURPS RPG system, written by Fred M. Sloniker and called, appropriately enough, GURPS Albedo.

Fantasy Games Unlimited published a second edition of the game in 1982, and the game was modified and republished by Steve Jackson Games as an official GURPS supplement in 1992.
