Contents
Man to Man is a subset of just the GURPS combat system for fantasy settings, including both basic rules and advanced rules, and comes with an introductory adventure scenario.[1] Similarly to Steve Jackson's role-paying game The Fantasy Trip, Man to Man involves tactical combat on a hex grid, with a point-based system for character generation, and only uses six sided dice.[2]: 105
Publication history
Man to Man: Fantasy Combat from GURPS was written by Steve Jackson, and published as an 80-page book with cardstock miniatures by Steve Jackson Games in 1985.[1]
As the GURPS system was still being developed at the time, Steve Jackson Games released only the combat system to meet the deadline for the 1985 Origins Game Fair, as Man to Man: Fantasy Combat from GURPS.[2]: 105 Man to Man also had a supplement called Orcslayer (1985).[2]: 105 The original GURPS Basic Set (1986) then used the combat rules from Man to Man.[2]: 107
