I owned this book. I got very excited. I was very disappointed. THe Pisonics were so much weaker than magic. THe balance was not there for the two systems. They were also very differnt. That made for stumbling in the game. Loss of fluidity. Hopefully they will revamp it.
GURPS Psionics is, in my opinion, one of the best GURPS books written. First, it's a good, solid set of rules for psi, and it's easily customizable for any campaign. Second, it has a LARGE section on how to fit psi into a new or existing world, including several very good suggestions on how to explain the origin of psi. Third, it has a very well-written "sample" world, which can easily be used just the way it is. And fourth, it has the bibilography at the back almost chararistic of GURPS sourcebooks, containing nearly every book, comic book, movie, and TV show ever written on psionics. I consider this an essential book for any GURPS campaign on psi - while the section in the basic set (third edition) is fairly good, it is incomplete at best when used for a settign ABOUT psionics, although for a campaign with psi tacked on, just for a little spice, the basic set could suffice.

One of the best sourcebooks ever
3. September 2008
I've been playing rpgs for over 2 decades now, and only got into GURPS pretty late in the game. I wanted to do a psionics-only gameworld and when I found this book, I got everything I needed.
I am a Gurps V3 Revised person (haven't looked at Gurps V4), but this book keeps me from wanting to upgrade to V4.
Pulver is one of GURPS' best writers, in my opinion, and in this book, he has thought out so many cool things for you to use as a GM (or as a player). Particularly what I like is a section called "Advanced Psionic Techniques" that takes all of the psionics powers to the next level, namely, letting you use the powers in tandem with other powers. Things that PCs will want to do, such as use Clairvoyance with Telekinesis to screw up enemies' internal organs -- there it is. How do Telepaths join up in a Gestalt and combine their powers? There it is. Overall, the rules work well to create a balanced world.
Some powers are obviously better than others. It is a shame that Pyrokinesis and Cyrokinesis are less useful (and just harder to apply in the game world) than Telekinesis. But as a GM, tweak a little here and there, and all of the powers become pretty viable.
The campaign worlds suggested by Pulver are all intriguing -- take bitz of what you will. The new advantages/disadvantages as well as drugs and cybernetics all make this book useful in the long term.
I've been running my psionic campaign now for over six months and I still have my players enjoying this world. I recommend you get the SUPERS book to use alongside it in case certain psionic powers (like Pryokinesis) need a little cinematic push (in that case, let the player buy Fire Ball, Flame Jet, etc.).

It's not about balance
12. April 2006
This supplement is great! The powers that affect modern technology can really add a powerful edge to any adventure. And as for the magic players that can't figure out how to make psionics work the way they want it to, just put all of your points into kinetics. When your character can snap the necks of any of your adventure's villans with an unskilled push, you don't really need to be creative.
