  2. Aid for GURPS GURPS rōl-play site is an online character creator and campaign server. This is an online place to store the character sheets for when the players forget their printed sheets. It is very clean and intuitive and free to use. The most recent updates were a while ago, but it appears this is because there hasn’t been the need for updates lately. If you’re a GURPS player or GM, please check this site out. It’s quite nice.
