Say that someone buys a bunch of strength with a limitation that, if anyone were to ever cut their hair, they’d lose all that strength forever, with no ability to regain it (barring divine intervention, I guess). What would the limitation be worth?

system: Gurps 4e+a homebrew ship to ship combat system

how will we play: mainly through discord with dice bots and GCS for character tracking the combat system doesn’t really need tokens and a battle map to function but I will probably throw together a owlbear ship combat map just for ease but ground combat will be all theatre of the mind and more cinematic if it ever comes up

Time and day: Sundays at 1pmEST ending at 5pmEST

Whom should apply: people that know how to use gcs well enough to add all the homebrew items im making for the game into their character sheets not to mention homebrew races aswell

Era/Universe: a alternate universe trek where the ferengi are hyper socialist and federation is known as the Democratic Republic Union of Stars(DRUS) and is not a utopian hyper socialist faction but more like the modern US economy is on paper with a large military and want for resources and land that necessitates wars or proxy wars with other factions such as the Klingon Republic, the Romulan-Reman-Garizian Alliance, the Holy Cardassian Empire, the Breen Confederation, Kzinti Matriarchy, The First Union, Alliance of Independent systems, Tholian Piety, and so on I’ll prolly make a map in paint of all the factions in the alpha and beta 1uads but that’s not where this takes place entirely

The story: you’re a crew aboard a DRUS Exploratative warship first of her class with a brand new transwarp drive capable of reaching places in hours that took days and days that took weeks the first test involves a precision strike against a Holy Cardassian Empire star base should be easy enough minimal protection is there but once it’s been disabled or destroyed you gun it to the next objective, but rumors are floating around of a test of a device that could with the transwarp drive make you reach past your enemies and allies to places untouched like the gamma, delta, omega quads

this game is supposed to be reminiscent of the AU in Strange new worlds with the AU Kirk romance plotline if people remember that episode

Qual a melhor maneira de mestrar apocalipse zumbi em gurps? Quais livros usar?

Hello i love gurps i absolute love gurps but i would never ever play the system because literally no one plays it, i really like gurps and i would love to play a 5e campaign using gurps system but make the system more like 5e what rules can i change to make it more like 5e ? i don't want to just play 5e because i absolutelly hate 5e expect the rules and the system and my friends only play 5e so what rules could i change to make gurps literally be as close as possible of 5e.

So do you guys have any suggestions about creating choices for players. I don't just mean big choices like "do we drop our weapons or save the girl?"
I mean like lower stakes choices that keep the game interesting even when there are no major stakes.
So for example, lets say that the players are setting camp, or just arrived at an outpost, or just arrived at a noblemans feast. Its a safe area, but Id like to give the players at least some interesting choice to make. I know its hard to answer this question in general because so much is dependent on the exact characters and setting and situation, but maybe you guys have some general advice?

I'm completely new to GURPS, and I only know enough basics to realize there's thousands upon thousands of pages of various rules in this modular system.

I'd like to ask more experienced folk a question about character concept viability rules-wise before I spent way too much time digging through those rules only to eventually realize it's not gonna work. The GM is going to run a high fantasy game that permits third party and community materials.

Without going into unnecessary details: small sapient animal capable of on-will telekinesis/telepathy as replacement for speech and opposable thumbs.

Title. Do i get the same penalty for shooting with guns when riding a horse as when im shooting with bows? Is the bow the only ranged option on horseback or is it opposite and the only one requiring a perk to be used effectively? The perk "Horse archery" quotes B387 but i couldn't find relevant info there

I am coming from DnD 5.5e. How many characters points would be comparable to a level one character? Also, when giving more how common is it for individual characters to be given points separately from the rest of the party? The book(4e Basic Set) seems to imply that the points get complicated as play progresses. Is that just a warning or is that super common in games?
