 Omnigard: GURPS Solo Roleplay, Session #03 - The Manticore Guild of Wizardry. Our hero carefully presents himself for training at the Mage's Association Tower.

The third session of our GURPS Solo-roleplay using GURPS, Mythic Gamemaster Emulator and a few other bits and pieces (even some homebrew) is up.

In this episode, our amnesiac hero presents himself in the Mage's Association Tower as part of his court-mandated process of becoming a "mandatory volunteer".

As you guys have suggested, the all rolling of dice remain in-line.

 How would you build Aqua's involuntary water purification power?

Aqua (the character from Konosuba) involuntarily purifies any water that she touches. How would you build this as an advantage in GURPS?

 Can you aim at something outside of a weapons range.

So can a character use the aim manoeuvre on a target outside of the weapons range e.g. : character A is holding a harpoon at the ready, on his next turn he aims at the target which is 25 yards away (harpoons max range is 18). The target moves on it's turn which brings it into range of Character A. On the next turn Character A throws his harpoon.

Does character A get the bonus from the aim?

 A repository of builds?

Hey so I am new to GURPS and really enjoying it. I was from Pathfinder originally but had many problems with the system and made the jump over.

One of the things I loved to do though was look at other people's builds both their own and where they had tried to create a character from other media (Geralt from the Witcher or Batman from ... well Batman) in Pathfinder.

The Pathfinder Guide to Guides had a build emporium with loads of sample builds.

Does GURPS have anything like this ??

 How would you build the ability to perform a death roll in GURPS, and what damage type would you have it deal?

How would you build the ability to perform a death roll in GURPS, and what damage type would you have it deal?
  • Obviously it's not something a human character could do by default.
  • What kind of advantage would it be and what enhancements/limitations would you put on it? Should it be more than one advantage?
    • Limited Striking ST
    • A special Striker that only works when you've grappled something with your mouth
    • Fangs
    • An Innate Attack
    • Binding
    • Some combination?
  • What damage type does a death roll deal? Obviously the initial bite of a crocodile does Impaling damage, but the death roll itself doesn't seem to be doing Impaling damage. Would you call it:
    • Crushing?
    • Cutting?
    • Something else?
  • GURPS lacks a damage type that represents ripping, tearing, or pulling something apart using tension; is ripping something apart/off mechanically closer to Crushing or Cutting for GURPS purposes?

 Japanese GURPS
Posted: 2026-01-23T20:28:01+00:00
Author: /u/jaysprenklehttps://www.reddit.com/user/jaysprenkle

Greetings.

I've been asked by a dear friend's widow to help see that his collection ends up someplace where it can be appreciated. Cancer took him before he got his three score and seven. Bob worked with fanzines, authors, and Steve Jackson games but wasn't ever a full time employee (that I know of). Bob was a wonderful human being and he is missed.

Part of his legacy includes a mint condition collection of what I believe are all the GURPS related publications in Japanese. I'd like to auction them off with proceeds going to a cancer charity. Any suggestions where to start?

 Telekinesis - Multiple?

Is there a way to somehow do multiple telekinesises?

Like pretty much take magneto in any incarnation of him. He usually uses his magnatisim to carry himself around, but also uses it to control other metal around him.

 Omnigard: GURPS Solo Roleplay, Session #02 - Bureacracy is fascinating! After two days on the Excelsior, a shaggy boat, our hero - now named Loch - arrives at the Capital and goes through NUMP's evaluation protocol.

Disclaimer: I am sorry if I appear to be "flooding", and that is not my intention. I'm on vacation, with a lot of time on my hands, so I have been playing a lot. If the moderation feels I'm posting too quick, please let me know and I will share these roleplaying session once a week only, with links for multiple sessions if that is the case.

_____

With that being said, yesterday I managed to play for about 10 hours straight and concluded the second session of Omnigard. This time, I've left all the rolls - skill and oracle rolls - on the main body of the text for easy access, in hopes that it might help people interested in solo-rp to follow the proccess.

As for character points, I think I will give Loch 1-2CP for each day played. For instance, the whole trip by boat from Bowaithe to Omnigard took two days, but since those were not played in full, he got only a single CP at the end of yesterday's session.

I also began posting the Traveling Troll Reports, in which I do a bit of worldbuilging and share the towns/places our character have visited. As for right now, there's only the Traveling Troll Reports: Bowaithe, and I assume the Capital's going to take a bit longer, since it's a ginormous place and I don't want to just roll for it, but to actually give it some more thought - although I have roled some already, for use in Session 02.

With all of that being said, I hope you enjoy. All feedback is not only appreciated, but sincerely encouraged.

 Parrying a weapon with a weapon = throw?
Posted: 2026-01-23T04:26:55+00:00
Author: /u/Funnyman5050https://www.reddit.com/user/Funnyman5050

In this scenario character A (chA) is using a halberd and character B (chB) is using a long sword.

  1. chB attacks chA and rolls a success.

  2. chA then parries the attack and rolls a success.

Can chA in the process of burying through chB?

The judo skill allows a character to parry a blow and then throw them on a successful parry, is there a way to do the same with a weapon?
