History has more fascinating characters than you can imagine. One book wasn't anything like enough.
The second "GURPS Who'sWho" volume details even more real-life people for player characters to challenge¸ aid¸ or emulate. From Sargon of Assyria to Sid Vicious¸ from the fabled Queen of the Nile to the forgotten King of Mayan Yaxchilan¸ from steppe-lords to detectives - this book spans every continent and three millennia to find no less than 56 great historic figures¸ suitable for every sort of campaign and scenario.
"GURPS Basic Set" and "Compendium I: Character Creation" are required to interpret the character statistics in this book.
Stranger that fiction - and stranger than ever. The second volume of 52 real-life characters for historical and time-travel games introduces an even more varied collection of personalities. * From the Bronze Age to Punk Rock¸ the Mayan Empire to Japan¸ * From priest-kings to rocket scientists¸ philosophers to courtesans¸ * From steppe-lords to saints¸ playwrights to tyrants. . . Through brilliance or luck¸ charisma or courage or sheer lunacy¸ these are the people who stamped their very different images on history. When your players face them¸ in battlefield¸ court¸ or laboratory¸ they can change the world - or at least¸ come away with quite a story. Each character is represented by a full GURPS character sheet¸ biographical notes¸ and scenario ideas from the subtle to the bizarre - ready to use in games¸ or adapt as NPCs or role-models.
