GURPS All-Star Jam 2004 is an eclectic, experimental GURPS worldbook. Instead of covering one licensed property, genre, or historical period in exhaustive detail; ten of the more prolific GURPS authors were each given the freedom to write a chapter on whatever campaign idea they had rolling around in their head. The resultant nine articles are:

• "Ghost-Breaking", by Kenneth Hite
  
• "Alchemical Baroque", by Phil Masters
  
• "Mythic Babysitting", by Elizabeth McCoy and Walter Milliken
  
• "Meridian", by David Pulver
  
• "The Last Spartan", by Gene Seabolt
  
• "Underground", by William H. Stoddard
  
• "Airships", by Brian J. Underhill
  
• "Precursors", by Johnathan Woodward
  
• "The Chariot Age", by Jon F. Ziegler

Aside from being an experiment in content, All-Star Jam was also an experiment in presentation, being the first book to debut the new font that would become the Fourth Edition standard, as well as using the new three-column format and more flexible sidebars. First edition. 8-1/2" x 11" perfect bound paperback, full color cover art (caricatures of the authors having a jam session) by Greg Hyland, 128 black & white pages. MSRP originally USD$24.95, reduced to USD$9.95 by the publisher in 2005.
