GURPS Super Scum is a sourcebook for GURPS.

Contents

Super Scum is a book of "Supers" for GURPS Supers with an emphasis on villains. Each supervillain has a two-page write-up including a picture, complete game statistics, a history, abilities, and battle tactics.[1]

Super Scum is a supplement for GURPS Supers of 30 supervillains, including a group of cat-types – "the Pride" – and their mansion.[2]

Let's face it: Bad Guys are more fun! This slim volume manages to pack in about two dozen socially maladjusted supers. The standouts are literally immortal: Dr. Radiation and Voltmaster, a couple of masterminds.

Publication history

Super Scum was written by Mark Johnson, with a cover by Alan Gutierrez and illustrations by Doug Shuler, and was published by Steve Jackson Games in 1989 as a 64-page book.[2]

Reception

John Sullivan reviewed Super Scum in Space Gamer/Fantasy Gamer #88.[1] Sullivan concludes in his review: "All in all, Super Scum is a useful book for the GURPS Supers player, but of little use to players of other supers systems; the villains could be converted, but it would probably be faster to design them from scratch."[1]
