It is still a work in progress as I need to add a lot of stuff but its currently in a workable state.

I'm looking to gauge interest in a 40k GURPS game that involved a Gorka Morka like setting but with a much stronger imperial presence.

I would be looking for players who know the 40k settings basic premise, no in depth lore knowledge required.

NZST 9am Wednesday and Friday I'm free most of the morning and would like to try for a 2 hour weekly session one of those days.

Discord and GCS required

The following is a copy paste of my word document for this game so far.

Scrap & Bitz

Scrap is the raw form of materials used to make Bitz. It is an unprocessed mass: metal, dense junk, wreckage, rocks-that-feel-right.

Bitz are raw scrap that has been bashed, cut or welded to become usable ‘Bitz’. Bitz are measured the same way as scrap, by weight. Scrap can be converted into Bitz using the Smith(Scrap) skill at a rate depending on the complexity of the Bitz. Bitz may be scrapped and will yield a portion of scrap back based on the Bitz Complexity. Scrap and Bitz can be scavenged for by searching battle fields, wrecks and large piles of junk. Scrounging will turn up scrap anywhere but will turn up far less scrap than searching a fresh battlefield. Scrounging around an ork camp will result in more scrap than scrounging in a field of daisies.

Teef and Squig Oil (Runtherds will be explored later)

The main form of currency and key ingredient to many Orky concoctions. Squig oil comes from oil Squigs which naturally occur amongst squig populations. The viscous saliva of the oil Squig is collected by Runtherds and sold to the Meks for bitz and Gubbinz. Meks combine Squig oil with Teef to make crude petroleum and with a few tweeks, promethium. Painboys also use Teef in both their medical equipment and in their signature fightin’ juice. Squig oil is the main ingredient of Ork paint, an important tool in Ork society. Colourful mushrooms are used to determine the colour.

(1 Teef / 5kg Scrap) = $100 each

Ork trade relies mostly on barter with Teef making up the extra value here and there.

The Value of Bitz is determined by the amount of scrap required to make it. 75kg of Layered Armor Bitz requires 100kg of scrap which costs 20 Teef. 90kg of Plate bitz will cost 20 Teeft. Standard Markup is based on the Meks rank. +10% markup per level of rank/Social Regard(Mekaniac).

Fuels, Lubricants and Flammables, all quantities in 1L

Squig Oil (A healthy Oil Squig produces 1L per day)

Squig Paint (10L Squig Oil + Pigment Shrooms)

Squig Fuel (10L Squig Oil + 2 Teef)

Burny Fuel (10L Squig Oil + 1 Teef)

Rokkit Fuel (10L Squig Oil + 4 Teef)

Ork Malf

All Ork tech is unreliable to some degree. The standard Malf level is dependent on the Meks skill and on the number of Orks on or near the planet. If a system has one or several planets with orks in it, those Orks’ Waaagh energy, combines and allows for relatively small forces using advanced Ork tech (Kommandos) to operate on planets with no other Orks.

Ork Presence (Planet Wide)

Anything above ‘Big’ operates at Malf(-4) until ork pop reaches the appropriate level.

Pitiful Ork presence (1-1,000 Orks) Malf 11

Small (1,001-5,000 Orks) Malf 12

Medium (501-100,000 Orks) Malf 13 (Big things)

Large (100,001-1,000,000 Orks) Malf 14 (Huge and Huge’er)

Extra Large (1,000,001-5,000,000 Orks) Malf 15 (Gargant)

WAAAAAGH!!! (5,000,000,000+ Orks) Malf 17

Da Great Green Tide (100,000,000,000+ Orks) No Malf Roll.

These are the Skills associated with Operating and repairing an Ork generator and powergrid.

Other than these, use the mechanic/electrical skills from the basic set.

Mechanic(Squig Fuel Engine)

Mechanic(Custom Mega Engine)

Electronics Operation(Ork Power Grid)

Electronics Repair(Ork Power Grid)

Machinist(Mekaniac)

This is the Knowledge skill to make the various Bitz, tools and assembly of Ork Tech.

Smith(Scrap)

The craftsman skill for working with scrap. This covers Iron, steel and timber constructions made in an Orky fashion. This is the skill associated with producing materials into raw scrap. Do not take carpentry, Masonry, etc All usable material is Scrap.

Bitz and Gubbinz

They are the working components of Ork tech. Gubbinz can be made from Bitz. Vehicles, guns, generators and any thing that requires Gubbinz, is said to have ‘Worky Bitz’. Non muscle powered weapons on this list use the GURPS Damage Table. Upgrades to weapons such as ‘Big’ or ‘Huge’ increase the rated strength/weight/range of those weapons including the weight of components required. The SR (Strength Rating) uses the Thrusting profile for ranged weapons but the swing profile for explosives and certain ammunition. Weapon health is determined by weight, same as normal. Acc of all unsighted Ork weapons is 1.

Vehicles

GLOBAL RULES

*My main design philosophy was to take each of these vehicles, to the various SM (+2, +6, +10) and figure out how they should function at those levels and then work my way back.*

The following profiles are the smallest weakest variants of those designs. You can start with a larger version of that design by increasing the total mass until it reaches the appropriate size. Vehicles Created this way must be uniformly increased but alterations may be made after initial creation using the rules for Sup it up. If you choose to make these alterations during creation, they only add kg*1 minute in time, again, only if you have the materials on hand. It takes 1 min per kg of material to create a vehicle assuming you have all the materials.

Arm Strength of walkers is 10+ (Push/Pull Bitz ÷ 50)

Flyers Calculate combustion mass using (combustion + Thrusty bitz ÷ 2)

Cargo = ½ Empty Mass + (Suspension x 5)

Fuel use(Squig Fuel) = 0.02L / 1 kg / hour

Vehicles with complex control(0.01 Energy / Per Complex consoles÷5 / Per hour)

Alternative Fuel(Energy) = 2.5 Energy / 1kg / hour

Vehicles with complex control(0.01 Energy / Per Complex consoles÷5 / Per hour)

Operational Mass = (Empty vehicle mass + Cargo Space)

Speed in hexes = Combustion ÷ Operational Mass x 100 x Mobility Multiplier (MM)

Handling = Spinny/Leggy bitz ÷ Operational Mass x 10 x MM Round to nearest 1

Fuel Tank is determined by total Heat and Chem x5

Default DR for Ork vehicles is 12

HP of Ork vehicles is 30*SM, If an Ork vehicle is reduced to 0 hit points It crumbles into scrap

SM Approx Length Empty Mass

+1 ~3 yd 550 kg

+2 ~5 yd 1,120 kg

+3 ~7 yd 1,700 kg

+4 ~10 yd 6,860 kg

+5 ~15 yd 16,580 kg

+6 ~20 yd 28,330 kg

+7 ~30 yd 42,730 kg

+8 ~45 yd 65,770 kg

+9 ~70 yd 80,030 kg

+10 ~100 yd 120,050 kg

Sup it up!

Meks can make upgrades to their creations. You can add Combustion/Thrusters for extra speed, Spinny/Limb Bitz for extra handling, extra suspension or Push/Pull Bitz for more cargo space and extra Heat & Chem for more Fuel tank space. Increasing each of these requires an increase in structural components, wiring and control consoles are increased when adding guns and extra moving parts. Make a mechanic roll capped by Smith(Scrap) and you may alter the Bitz required by 1 per margin of success. Failure will result in Extra Structural Bitz required at a rate of %10 per margin of failure. This process will take total kg added*3 minutes to do so or total kg added*1 minute during the initial creation.

EXAMPLE Ork Mek

Konka is an ork Mek with a Bike and a Gun

Konka is around 280kg with gear and his bike is 764kg with 134.8kg of gun and 150L of fuel 280+134.8+150=564.8. With a cargo space of 543.6, Konka will need to leave some things behind, maybe lessen the fuel in his tank to lighten it. In total, he and his bike weighs 1328.8. This will require (roughly) 26.5L per hour. On a full tank, accounting for weight drop off from the fuel, you will be able to travel for 6 hours before needing to stop and refuel.

What’s the cheapest way to build a character with enough superstrength to throw a 3 ton (6,000lbs) object 100yds?

Does anyone have an update or link about the status of GURPS Game Aid for Foundry v14? I haven't been able to find anything.

I'm looking to prepare a GURPS campaign and I've heard a lot of good things about Obsidian. Just wondering if anyone here has used it for GURPS campaign management and whether there are any good plugins for GURPS. Thanks very much!

For all you solo players out there - I've been playing a mix of the old GURPS Conan rules and Call of Cthulhu 6th Edition (mainly because that's the only CoC book I own) solo with Mythic.

I wasn't sure what to expect with the GURPS Conan book, but it's surprisingly good.

I'm just using NotebookLM to convert things to GURPS 4e on the fly. I converted all the books to MD format with Marker and uploaded them to a notebook.

I also uploaded the rules MD files to Gemini along with the GCS repo URL and FAQ, and it's surprisingly competent at generating GCS JSON files I can drop right into GCS and then dump to Foundry.

If you have not tried mixing Conan and Cthulhu, I highly recommend it. So much great lore in both books. I'm using the maps and locations in the GURPS Conan book and spicing it up with Cthulhu as events unfold. I'm trying to steer the campaign toward Mountains of Madness.

Hello, I'd like to hear some suggestions. I was thinking of adapting the "One Piece" setting for a campaign with some friends, but I'm unsure how to adapt Robin's "Hana Hana no Mi". Mainly because she can grow any surface or living being into any part of their body (not just arms and legs, since she's even grown an ear in an unseen spot) and apparently it's not an avoidable ability (the arms simply grow on the opponent without any chance of dodging). I confess my head is spinning trying to figure out how to adapt this "Akuma no Mi". Does anyone know how to adapt this fruit coherently with the manga/anime?

Thanks for the help!

Let's say someone wants to have a shortsword with a 2y kusari

When striking with the kusari, does the whole thing becomes unbalanced and therefore unable to parry? even the sword?
