Publication history
GURPS Lite was published in 1998, and presents GURPS in a slim 32-page version, which allowed Steve Jackson Games the opportunity to produce standalone games which did not required the main rulebook. GURPS Discworld (1998) and GURPS WWII (2001) were the first books to include GURPS Lite in them, while later publications were labelled "Powered by GURPS" without including "GURPS" in the book title.
GURPS Lite is available, free of charge, as a PDF from the Steve Jackson Games website.
