So, I was browsing r\rpg and came across the following links in comments on a post about Gurps.

The links: https://www.dragonstrove.com/products/gurps-basic-set-fourth-edition-revised?variant=51499173970202

https://www.gamenerdz.com/gurps-4th-edition-basic-set-revised-preorder

I have a couple questions and would highly appreciate it if any of you fine people would be willing to take the time to answer them or point me to the place I can find answers:

1. Is this real: That is, is 4e Revised already up for preorder and are these reputable websites? If any of you have used them, what has been your experience with them?

2. I am European, as such I would like ask if any of you are aware of what vendors, if any, are based in Europe and list their prices in euro. This is mostly to lower shipping fees and shipping time on my end.

3. In association with question 2, if there is a way to pre-order this on warehouse23 or sjgames I would be quite thankful if you could point me to them as I can't seem to find them on the website.

Thank you all in advance.

I want to make a checklist of all GURPS 4E titles published by Steve Jackson Games, whether they are/were available as hardcover, softcover, pdf, and POD. I also want the version number of the latest PDF.

So I threw Google Gemini at the problem and pointed it to Steve Jackson Games Website and asked it make me a complete list of 4E products along with all the criteria.

Gemini made me a Google Sheet of 221 4E items. It did a really good job on the hardcover/softcover/pdf/POD part, but it's not perfect. It could not tell me the PDF version number.

So, I hopped on warehouse23.com and downloaded what I own and added those version numbers. The stuff I didn't own, I grabbed the free preview PDF and got the version number out of that. But with 221 items it's going to take me a LONG time to get through the version numbers.

I'm looking to crowdsource a solution. I'd love people to join me in my effort and volunteer to update say, 10 items in the spreadsheet with the current version number by going through their PDF collection on Warehouse 23, or grabbing the free preview and adding the version number to the spreadsheet.

As far as I know Warehouse 23 does not email you when they update a PDF, so this may be a good resource to see if you have the current version of everything.

I don't want to just stick a link to an editable spreadsheet on here, because God knows what bot will scrape the post and spread the link to people that will vandalize everyone's hard work.

Once the list is complete, I will make it publicly available read-only for everyone. But if you'd like to help out, then please PM me, and I'll give you access.

I'd like to add a short description for each book at some point in the future. I did that in an offline copy by going to the webpage for each PDF, selecting the description and using the Apple Intelligence writing tools to summarize. It's doing a reasonably good job. But that's a long-term goal. Right now I just want to get the version numbers.

If anyone wants to join in the effort, let me know and I will PM you a link.

Hello guys, i'm very new to gurps and need help with rules about what happens when you are traveling in a swamp for many days and your feet and shoes keep wet.

Can you guys help me find a direction in the books please?

GURPS is meant to be a toolkit of rules represent a world or setting you want to play in. In my about thirty years of playing it, we had multiple settings and used multiple different sets of rules.

But through time our style of playing rpgs changed quite a bit from the tactical and boardgamy style to a more story focused and narrative style. That's when had trouble using the system as written, as narrative gaming isn't the strong point of GURPS. So we started to borrow things from other systems trying to implement them into the core rules of GURPS.

I don't know if there are already takes on such an approach in any additional supplements of the system, I know there are some to make skillsystem lighter but I'd like to share some of our ideas with you to maybe get some feedback or even help other to shift their game without abandoning one of the best universal games out there, in my opinion.

• there are no rolls if there are no interesting outcomes in failing AND succeeding. The premise is that the story has to go on in an interesting way. There cannot be a halt. I think it's the classic idea of narrative gaming and lots of games like PbtA and Fate have it.

• we implemented partial success/success with a complication in the way that all rolls which fail or succeed by 2 are partial successes. That way there is more room for interpretation and creative storytelling. This may not be the best rule for combat but can be used.

• we added something we call 'drama die'. One of your three d6s has a different color and is called the drama die. If it rolls a 1 or a 6 it has some positive or negative effect on the task you wanted to accomplish, regardless of the actual outcome. This excludes critical successes and failures automatically. The drama die is only used when the GM says so before the roll, otherwise it may just be the ordinary die you always use.

I hope this was comprehensive as English isn't my first language. And I hope to get some feedback on it, maybe even some ideas to develop it even further.

Hello, so I’m working on my fantasy game. I’m working on a DanMachi-inspired system, and I’m trying to make the level system. I got the general idea, but I’m trying to figure out how to do the stat ranking, the I–S, and the leveling up and the “reset” of the stats. I’m not sure how I can do it, and also not sure how to, in play, make the stat ranks feel like they are getting stronger. Like, how could I make a B-rank strength feel stronger than a C-rank and still make it all fit together with the "reset" of the skill and but also the carrying over of the skills like i feel like it would get super op very fast and ik that doesn't matter in gurps but thats just a feeling.

Looking for advice and how to instructions for my first full Gurps campaign.

My friends and I are going to start a campaign that focuses on students at a Magical University (think Strixhaven or Owl House).

We want to be focused on cozy "slice of life" episodes and "field assignments" where they can practice their magical abilities with practical applications like clearing out monster dens or assisting the local guard with solving mysteries.

I own the Strixhaven source book for DnD so if anyone has advice on how to convert that to Gurps it would be appreciated.

I guess my intent with this post is to crowdsource with the Reddit hive mind. Any and all ideas are appreciated.

How would you make a limitation that makes someone closer to death per each use of an advantage or seconds/minutes/whatever of being active?

I'd like to see how to build an advantage.

Counter-Awareness: You become aware when someone is interested in you. This is a ranged ability that gives you the location of anyone that is observing you, or looking for you. This is specific to you personally. If someone is waiting in ambush for the next person to walk through the door, you receive no notice. If they are waiting for you to walk through the door, you sense that intent. Provides a defense to people following you. Someone following a set of footprints won't trigger the effect unless they know they are following your footprints.
