Hellboy: The RPG [GURPs]

[Tanuki Tales]

I just found out this thing existed and my preliminary probings seem to point towards this being based solely on the comics, which peaks my interests further (don't get me wrong, I loved the movies).

How does the game measure up as a whole?

I'm a big Hellboy fan (just ordered 5 novels [The Ice Wolves, The Lost Army, Unnatural Evolution, Emerald Hell, and Odder Jobs] and I've already read 3 [Bones of Giants, Oddest Jobs and The God Machine]]) and something like this would definitely finally get me to dive right into playing the GURPs system for the first time.

This is the most awesome thing I've ever seen on the interwebz!

Thanks?

Anyone have something to add? Oh and update, I just finished Emerald Hell. Twas pretty good.

I was slated to play in a BPRD campaign, but it never materialised :smallsigh:

In general, I really like GURPS, but have never played it. But building characters sure was a lot of fun. Yes, a lot of fun. Also, GURPS: Infinite Earths may be the finest RPG book I've ever read.

Haven't read the Hellboy GURPS book specifically, but GURPS is a good system for Hellboy, I feel. Best of luck with your game.

It's been a long time since I speed-read through GURPS: Hellboy in order to run a one shot, but I remember it having a good ruleset, with some suggested streamlining of the GURPS rules. It suggests some good ways to capture the Hellboy "feel" in a game.
