Retro Review: Swashbucklers

Made for the 3rd edition,
 but works pretty well with
the modern  4th edition with
little fuss.
So, I have alluded that I have bought a few books for furnishing and fueling a Tech Level 4 Pseudo-Dungeon Fantasy/Pseudo-Swashbuckling campaign. There is a small smattering of books in this category for the 4th edition, but in 3rd edition, we have this big beautiful beast of a book full of content. I am a relative neophyte to RPGs, so I didn't play GURPS in the 3rd edition, but from my rudimentary understanding that 3e material is easily portable to 4th edition, and from the very modest price tag, and because I had nothing else to read, I decided to try it anyway, and I think I'm happy with what I got. I am going to put this post in a "retro" review category to highlight that I am looking at this material from the lens of someone who is picking through the artifacts not for mechanical 3rd edition bits, but for the information that is more system agnostic, but this is a GURPS blog, so that content will of course be looked at anyways, just for kicks and/or giggles.
