Aliens who are more than just Bug-Eyed-Monsters!
30 Aug 1998
I've been a fan of David Gerrold ever since he wrote "The Trouble With Tribbles" for Star Trek so many years ago. So when he stated this new series, I bought it right away. I still don't see how the humans can fight the Chtorr and talk about winning. However, if you want to try a RPG based on the books, I can think of no better game to use than GURPS. Includes some material not in the original novels. Hard to get nowadays, but worth the effort.

War against the Chtorr is a unique rpg world. For a fan of Gerrold's series, this is almost a must have. It is very true to the novels both in facts and in it's tone. The material is interesting even for someone who has not read the novels. The above reviewer is quite correct. Gurps is the only system for this setting. No references exist for any other system. It is definitely for mature and experienced role-players. The setting is very grim and gritty. I don't see how they can talk about winning either. Note: you must have the gurps basic set to use this book and gurps ultratech is invaluable in connection with it.
