I've not played GURPS since 3rd edition, and I used to have a lot more patience for rulebook collecting and looking up cross-references. Now I'm hankering to run a Discworld campaign. If I can get hold of the 4e-based Discworld RPG, will we really be good to go?

I'm happy to wing it with house rulings for unusual situations, and I'd like a casualish, narrative feel to the game so I don't need a crunchy combat system. My players will also be new to TTRPGs so I'd rather not intimidate them by pulling out a whole library. Is there anything I'll particularly miss if I don't have a core set or any other rulebooks?

Hi friends a group of mine wants to play a supers fantasy campaign that starts at around 1000 and then going up to a point where they are basically an anime protagonist. One wants to be a charismatic master duelist with a rapier and one other wants a sword with most of his points in them. As In he is kinda mundane but has a seriously powerful evolving artifact.

So the question being how do I handle the social interractions with the 1st one when he has a diplomacy of 24 or something and how will I be discounting the powers that is put on the item. Like if the item gives him the power of throwing a bolt of lightning do I jıst built it as it is with its standart modifiers or does it get discounted further because the power is on the sword and not the character

Doing a bit for a fantasy setting, which is supposed to have a species of harpies based off of Secretary Birds, one of which with barely any combat abilities (one point of brawling, at best) will tag along with the players for a bit. There's supposed to be a fight with some snakes coming up, and I figured it'd be funny if the secretary bird harpy (which is near-useless in combat normally) is really, really good at fighting snakes with its talons. How do I best build that mechanically, using the rules? Some kind of technique?

It says affliction, does this mean the damage that it inflicts when you hit can be resisted with a health role??

Which book contains rules about penalties for fighting indoors and in caves, tight spaces? In the next session, the players are slated to fight in the ship's hold, which is very small. Their weapons, with a reach of 2, are unlikely to be practical there, especially for slashing attacks.

What does the Short limitation mean on creatures with size modifier +1 or more?

do they get their extra range -1, plus the other penalties for the limitation? Or do they get absolutely no bonus for size, making their arm have reach C no matter how big they are?

If the second alternative is correct, how much would a limitation that does what the first alternative says cost?

So I want to try and run D&D 5e adventures with minimal changes to gurps, so now I’m trying to use glittering prizes book what coin value should I try to use with the amount of gold and silver the D&D book gives me in the adventures like the lost mines of phandelver

So, I have only just recently gotten a hold of GURPs character builder book. It is my first time with the system and there is a lot in this one book so I may have missed some things. I am interested in finally trying something other then dnd, and I have had this character idea bouncing around in my head for some time. If your familiar with Warhammer 40k Tyranids, then I am basically planning on recreating the hive mind at a smaller scale. The idea was to make a character who's conscience is spread over 2 to 5 bioforms from the start, and have the opportunity to grow as the game goes on and the eat there way to more resources. I was not really going to play them as a galactic threat, and keep them as a team player with whatever group they end up in, fitting a role like a scout able to send a small lifeform ahead of the group, but also have some fun combat lifeforms for action or battles. Is this something that is possible? And would there be a better book or extra set of rules that I should aquire to really round off the character?
