GURPS Horseclans is a role-playing worldbook, one of the first that was published for the GURPS game system. Horseclans was a science fiction series by Robert Adams, set in a North America that had been thrown back to a medieval level by a nuclear war. Horseclans is set about a thousand years in a post-apocalyptic future after the collapse of our present civilization (apparently by a nuclear war). The setting's technology is primitive, but with some remnants of "magical" higher technology mostly in the hands of a cabal of pre-catastrophe technologists who have a way to transfer their minds from old bodies to new. They are opposed mainly by a small group of Undying, individuals who don't age and are very hard to kill.
