GURPS Asparagus is a fan-made supplement for TabletopGame/{{GURPS}} created by Website/FourChan. It gives rules and background information on [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin asparagus for use in GURPS]], including cultivating it, playing as it, and asparagus-related parallel worlds for use in TabletopGame/GURPSInfiniteWorlds. It can be found [[https://i.4pcdn.org/tg/1447086578294.pdf here]].

!!GURPS Asparagus contains the following tropes:
* ApocalypseHow: Implied Class 3 on Asparagus-1. There are no humans (nor any other complex life), but the growth patterns of the parallel's asparagus mimic those of human populations.
* ArtisticLicenseBotany: The "secretly an allium" lens. Any gardener can tell you that an onion's leaves look nothing like an asparagus stalk.
* BigCreepyCrawlies: The aphids native to Asparagus-Omicron.
* CrackFic: Of all the things to write a GURPS supplement on, ''asparagus?''
* FantasticFlora: Asparagus-Omicron features asparagus stalks the size of trees.
* ForbiddenFruit: On Centrum, asparagus went extinct as a result of biological warfare, and are jealous of Infinity's cultivation of it.
* GarlicIsAbhorrent: The "secretly an allium" lens includes the trait Social Stigma (Eww, onions)[[note]]Onions and garlic are both types of allium[[/note]].
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: The Path of Asparagus. While less versatile than the other disciplines of RitualMagic, the Path of Asparagus makes up for it with power.
* HealingHerb: Using asparagus as an ingredient in herbal medicine gives a bonus to treat poisons.
* InterfaceScrew: The trait list for the fnord lens is entirely blacked-out.
* MisplacedVegetation: Asparagus-1 features asparagus virtually everywhere, but no other life-forms.
* NothingIsScarier: Once Infinity realized that the growth patterns of Asparagus-1 mimicked human populations, they declared it strictly off-limits, lest such an event happen again.
* PlantPerson: Downplayed. Rules for playing as intelligent, psychic (but not mobile or otherwise humanoid) asparagus are given.
* PsychicPowers: Available to asparagus players via the Enlightened lens.
