Hi! So in pathfinder living things are powered by positive energy and undead by negative energy. They are healed by their own energy and harmed by the other. So healing spells in pathfinder can potentially harm undead. And spells that heal undead can harm the living.

Any tips on how to convert this to gurps?

Hi! So I am considering making a sort of devil character that would make deal with the devils contract where they give powers to others, for a price (insert evil laugh here)!

So how could I do something like that?

I'm coming back to GURPS after quite a few years. A few in our group have expressed interest in picking it up again/giving it a try for the first time.

This has also coincided with a rewatch of the 2003 classic Reign of Fire and the "castlepunk" tanks Vs dragons aesthetics immediately made me think of GURPS and led me to reread Yrth, it never hooked my in my youth but as I think is common my interest in history has drastically increased.

The concept I have is a besieged french town in WW2 (perhaps itself a weird parallel) gets Banestormed to Yrth allowing for a mix of soldiers, partisans and civilians along with significant but limited military tech (TL6- early 7) and I would structure the campaign into arcs of 2-6 sessions followed by a time skip allowing for multi generational development.

Obviously this would put the players at contention with many major forces within the world and their tech having potentially far reaching effects but I am less concerned about keeping the world's status quo stable than letting the players navigate the tinderbox.

I was wondering if folks had experience or advice running such a game or what other starting scenarios could work? (I'm definitely open to different starting points, the village just seems one of the easier ways to have such a mix of characters come through. My other idea is a decommissioned warship that has been converted into a museum.)

Do I get it right:

Let's say we have 2 tons of sludge in cargo, worth $1000

Factory adds 40% to the raw materials value, making, let's say, $10.000 per hour

To make a 2-ton, $1.000.000 vehicle from it, we need to increase the value of the sludge 21 times, and it'll take 100 hours of work (because $10.000 per hour), each next increase in value taking more time due to greater volume in $

It just makes sense in my opinion, especially if you use a house rule that Per and Will are separate from IQ
