8 Pregen Horror Characters for New Players

Here is a downloadable PDF of the eight recent GURPS Horror pregen characters suitable for any of the 1980s one-shot adventures listed on the Horror for New Players Roadmap.

The idea is that you should be able to just print this single PDF out using a two-sided color printer and you’ll have the GURPS-O-SCOPIC simplified character sheet on one side, then the GURPSICLE one-page rules on the other.

Bring this (along with an adventure from the list) to a convention’s in-person gaming table, pass some of these out to people who have never role-played before, and you should be ready to go!

Since these were each created for specific adventures — notably The Haunting of Langley Manor (from GURPS Horror 1e) and GURPS Horror: Flight 13 from GURPS 3e — you should check the characters over first to be sure they’ll work for what you are planning. Some of them are combat ineffective. They are all around 125 points.

More Details, Please?

If you want to customize, the Microsoft Word version of these GURPS-O-SCOPIC character sheets, as well as the GCA-output standard GURPS character sheets are all available on each individual blog post I made for the characters. There is also some brief discussion there about the character concept. See:

OK I’ve finished uploading GURPS Horror characters for now. Fingers crossed that these will work well!
