Summary How to convert to GURPS from other game systems (and vice-versa, but who would do it the other way? )
Announcement The GURPS WWII fourth edition conversion is now up, thanks to Curtis Handsaker (Lesser GURPS Gun God} aka "Z09SS."

D&D3/D20 System

The D20 System is the core engine for Dungeons And Dragons 3rd edition, probably the best known Role Playing Game. Converting from D20 is the most common conversion in the GURPS community.

The Dark Eye (TDE) / Das Schwarze Auge (DSA) / Myranor

Quite a few German people love the world of Aventuria and Myranor, but think that using GURPS rules would make for a better playability.

Earthdawn

This conversion has been done in order to make this fantastic setting more playable (e.g. without having to roll a different bag of dice for every decision). The original ruleset is the property of Living Room Games (http://earthdawn.lrgames.com/) and Red Brick Ltd. (http://www.earthdawn-classic.com/).

Exalted

Conversion notes for White Wolf's Exalted game line.

Heroes Unlimited

A conversion of Kevin Siembieda's revised edition of Heroes Unlimited, originally published by Palladium Books. The 2nd edition of Heroes Unlimited is now available (http://www.palladiumbooks.com).

Lodland

A new german roleplaying game, set somewhere in the 23rd century. The attempt to stop the global warming has created a new ice age all around the world. Humanity was forced to settle the last habitable place on earth, the Ocean.

Star Trek

Many attempts have been made to represent the Star Trek universe in RPG terms. This is yet another, this time for GURPS 4th Edition.

Other Star Trek RPG's to GURPS 4e
