Publication history

Reception

Shane L. Hensley reviewed GURPS Mixed Doubles in White Wolf #35 (March/April, 1993), rating it a 3 out of 5 and stated that "Overall, the characters are original and well fleshed out. Each entry has a detailed history, ways to fit it into a campaign, a discussion of his or her abilities, and battle tactics. If the character is too powerful or too weak for a particular campaign, there is even a power variations section to beef up or tone down the offending super." [1]
