Orcslayer is a sourcebook for Steve Jackson's Man to Man and later GURPS.

Contents

[edit]

Orcslayer includes nine combat scenarios, each linked by role-playing encounters, in which the player characters deal with the Orcmen invading Caithness.[1]

Publication history

[edit]

Orcslayer: A Combat Supplement for Man to Man was written by Warren Spector and Steve Jackson, and was published by Steve Jackson Games in 1985 as a 48-page book.[1]

Orcslayer followed soon after Man to Man (1985) - the first GURPS product - and debuted the fantasy world setting of Yrth before it was used in later supplements for the GURPS Fantasy line.[2]
