Welcome to the GCS Wiki

GURPS Character Sheet (GCS) is a standalone, interactive character sheet editor that allows you to build characters for the GURPS Fourth Edition roleplaying game.

The GCS Wiki is the central, user‑friendly reference for learning and using the GCS application. Whether you’re brand new to GCS or an experienced user, this wiki is here to help you get the most out of the tool.

Important

This wiki focuses on how to use GCS, not on teaching the full GURPS rules. For complete rules, refer to the relevant GURPS books.
