Unnight
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Unnight is a supplement published by Steve Jackson Games (SJG) in 1988 for the science fiction role-playing game GURPS Space.
Unnight is a planetary setting for GURPS Space in which gamemasters can set science fiction genre adventures. In the pre-story to Unnight, humans from Earth travelled on faster than light ships to settle another star system. However, their ships missed the targeted system and ended up at a planet deep within a nebula. In the years that followed, without further contact from Earth, the settlers' technology gradually expired, and the planetary society broke down into feudal states. Unnight describes the social system and the geography of the planet. An adventure is included in the book.[1]
Publication history
GURPS (Generic Universal Role-Playing System), a generic system of role-playing rules for any setting, was published by SJG in 1986. Several genre-specific "flavors" for GURPS quickly followed, including GURPS Fantasy, GURPS Horror, and GURPS Space. Stefan Jones created Unnight as a planetary setting for GURPS Space, and it was published as a 48-page softcover book in 1988 with cover art by Bob Eggleton and illustrations by Terry Tidwell.[2]
