Can you play gridless on foundry? I know there is a setting for gridless on scenes but it is not true gridless, it hides the grids but characters are still on hexes. If anyone knows how please tell me how, it was a mess when I tried

Edit: I just found out you can play gridless on foundry vtt natively, somehow GURPS Token Shape and Movement (with Tools for Gridless GURPS) module was locking me onto grids. Disabling that worked

Like a foldable shield or something like that

Okay, I've squinted, scratched my head and flicked through the pages, but I don't understand the Scale Factor Table in Spaceships 3, Tactical Combat.
I get that relative velocity is a multiplier for damage.
I don't get why changing the size of a hex gives a damage multiplier.

A TL7 32 cm missile in basic combat, in standard 3-minute turns, has a base relative mps of 1, so deals 6dx8 damage.
Now I barely understand the Base Relative Velocity table as it is, but I understand it to be some "average" value, so even if a missile accelerates to 6 mps, the target may be moving at some other velocity.. so... something?

Then over to the Tactical combat, 3-minute turn with 100-mile hexes, there is a x2 scale multiplier. With the same relative velocity of 1 mps, the missile is now dealing twice the damage?
And at Distant scale / 1,000-mile hexes, this leaps to x20 damage? How? Why?

Thanks for any insight into this.

Hi! so the Blind fighting allows you to well fight of course! but is there advantage/ skill that lets you navigate the world using sight and or smell?

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.
