Reception
editGURPS Time Travel won the Origins Award for Best Roleplaying Supplement of 1991.[3][4]
Rick Swan reviewed GURPS Time Travel for Dragon magazine #191 (March 1993).[1] According to Swan, "GURPS Time Travel borrows ideas from everyone from H.G. Wells to Dr. Who and blends them into a cohesive whole, resulting in the most comprehensive take on time travel to date. Though intended for the GURPS system, the material is generic enough for any system, presuming the referee does his homework. Bursting with baffling jargon and giddy analyses of nonsensical concepts, GURPS Time Travel is exactly the type of book that makes civilians think role-players are out of their minds. Consider that a recommendation."[1]
