This is a monthly r/GURPS thread for anything and everything related to your own campaigns. Tell us how you and your friends are making out. Update us on the progress of your game. Tell us about any issues you've run into and maybe we can help. Make suggestions for other players and GMs.

Weekly /r/GURPS Discussion thread. Feel free to talk about anything and everything GURPS related.

• What are you currently playing or running?
• What custom rules does your group play with?
• Have any fun custom items, advantages, skills, or whatever else to share?

I'm gonna preface this by saying that I've never played GURPS and this is for preparation for my first session trying it.
So, I'm GM'ing a GURPS Lite one-shot for my online group and I can't make GCS work with Lite for the life of me. From what I can tell, I just need to delete the stuff not in Lite but I can't figure out how to lower the cost of DX. If someone has some tips or an already fixed sheet I'd appreciate the help.

I'm not really interested in direct conversions. I'm particularly looking at OSR conversions for content. All seems pretty straight forward until it comes to Armour Class.........

i have several players interested in playing Gurps. 1 for the first time. we prefer a TL 1-4 fantasy setting but we can do other things like sci-fi/modern ETC

Timezone Central European Time.

Preferable playing Day Saturday.

I'm prepping for a Mona Lisa Heist adventure I'll be GM-ing with a group of friends (first time all of us). The PCs are built with 75 points, and one of my players made a super interesting character: a charismatic, fast-talking hunchback (human) dwarf. He sunk a lot of points into some great combos that give him skill levels of around 19 on verbal influence skills. While I was walking him through the character creation process, he made a joke about using his oration skills to simply convince the Louvre security to help them party steal the Mona Lisa.

This seems like a far-too-easy way out, and super unrealistic. My security guards (built with 25 points) all have the Honesty disadvantage, which would normally be plenty. But supposing this dwarf tried to use his oratory skills on the guards, how would I handle this? Do I apply penalties, and if so what do I base them on? I'm not sure if the Basic Set gives any guidelines on these types of situations, so any page references or personal thoughts would be appreciated. Fast-talking the people who are supposed to be preventing you from achieving your goal into helping you seems way too easy, unrealistic... and exactly what this player would try to do. Am I missing something here?

So i just got into GURPS and heard there was a free program that helps you make a character. Its called gurpscharactersheet.com. If you use it im having a problem with the program. Its not showing any advantages. Like the option to pick them from the basic rule set is simply not there. It should be right above basic set enhancement modifiers but the category is not available for selection. The program is up to date, so if you use this and know whats happening id appreciate your help.

So I had this bizarre itch of actually running a GURPS game, but based around the world of Fallout. Right now I only have the 3rd edition book and Superheroes, and I'm racking my head with what I'm doing

Based on the following stats

ST-11 DX-13 IQ-11 HT-11

What are my encumbrance, movement, bmx (I don't know what it is) dodge, dmg, dr stats are?

(I am using mythweavers manual sheet, on mobile, can't use GCS)
