Not as required as Compendium I
12 Jan 2003
Format:Paperback
I find this volume much less required than Vol. I. It's good stuff for a GM to have around ("The PCs have really done it this time. Let's see how long it takes them to freeze to death...Oh, here's a rule for that!), but really, really not important for players. There's a list of poisons and what they do in game terms, which might be handy, but it's largely ways for GMs to tweak their roleplaying environment toward greater/lesser realism, make up random societies (that's a table I hope to never use.)
It's still worth its 4 stars, but only as a GM. There are no ads, disads, or skills, nor are there background systems or anything else like that. It's all about environment hacking via rules.
The Game Master Guide
12 Jan 2007
Format:Paperback
If you are looking for ideas for a game, this is the book for you. Looking for advice, this is the book for you. Trying to find one of the many optional rules of GURPS, this is the book for your. Trying to find some obscure advantage or skill, sorry but that is Compendium I. This is the book for the Game Masters out thier. It is full of detailed rules from everything from poisonous gas to characters getting drunk (a necessity when the party includes dwarves). I would consider it a core book for the game, not necessary to play but very useful.
