If Revised, is it backwards compatible to 4e?

So I'm gearing up to run Caravan to Ein Arris, and I'm going to make some pre-gens for my players. The Character Creation text box mentions useful skills, including Animal Handling.

Now the * text for it says that 'Animal Handling requires specialization: Camel, Equines, Oxen, and Cattle will all be necessary on this trip.' So I'm assuming that those are 4 different specializations?

But a few things, Oxen and Cattle are literally the same species, but are different specializations? Even when all Equines are just one specialization? That seems like an odd choice.

The Adventure seems to take great joy in pointing out throughout the adventure that Animal Handling rolls for Camels are at -4. So someone with Animal Handling (Camels) would get this penalty, right? And the default to Animal Handling within the same order is at -2 (though the example they use in the skill text is 'The default between specialties is -2 within the same order (e.g., Dogs to Big Cats),' so I'm not sure what they're counting as an 'order'), so someone with Animal Handling (Camels) would literally be better at Handling Horses than what they're specialized in? That also seems odd to me.

Am I reading this right? How have you handled this in your games?

In my previous post I said I was starting to play GURPS 3e solo, in attempts to relearn the system for my group who is on the hook about playing after seeing the sourcebooks and the possibilities (yeah I've been hyping it!)

SO Anyhow, I wanted to see how well it handled a traditional fantasy dungeon crawl and I built a simple six-room dungeon, stocked it with cultists, skeletons, and bandits, then ran two 85-point characters through it, a warrior and a priest.

A few things surprised me and I did have to look up various rules. BUT this is learning experience, so it's good. I will know what to do when it comes to running combat for my group.

So those are 3e folks, come on down and take a look, please tell me what I did wrong, so I don't form a bad habit.

For those of you who still play GURPS 3e, how many points do you usually give starting fantasy characters?

I recorded the run if anyone is interested:

Thanks for your time!

So, basically;

This character should almost always hold back - them going all out should be a huge deal, since it almost certainly means one of two things:

• You're an existential threat to the entire world

• You just killed (to their knowledge) someone very dear to them

They're the heavy hitter of my team of characters for my solitaire/solo game - I mainly wanna figure point values since I plan to build the other two based on the points I end up building this character on.

Edit: I said almost certainly mostly because there's a chance I've not thought of something

If a limitation gives you an X% chance of instant death every time you use the advantage it's part of and has a limitation value of -Y%, what is the mathematical relationship between X and Y?

On a related note, if a limitation Z% chance of dealing W Dice of Damage injury to you whenever you use the advantage it's part of and has a limitation value of -V%, what is the mathematical relationship between Z, W, and V?

I'm trying to make a pure blood vampire that has a strong bite.

How to i precisely do that? Im new to Gurps.

Is sharp teeth, Fangs, Sharp beak all not innate attacks?

What books, advantages, limitations, enhancements etc can help?

Okay so I remeber about 2-3 years ago I put witch hat atelier into my to read list never got the chance to read it but now I am watching its anime adaptation its pure vibes and I love it

Ramblings aside I really like the magic system in it and would like to have a crack at it to try to convert it to gurps I had some ideas trying to base it on the symbol drawing skill requiring preperation beforehand and all that I think the easiest is to use ritual path magic with some modifications but I would like to hear your opinions as well. We normally use magic as powers but I think it would be limiting I guess would be the right way to put it.

Hello everyone! Darryll from Steve Jackson Games here. We just wanted to share some of the new GURPS titles we've been working on. Please head over to the campaign page to learn more about GURPS Ring of Fire and GURPS Basic Set, 4th Edition Revised.

Thank you!

UPDATE: Someone very kindly emailed me the full pdf ruleset. It’s soo fantastic and I can’t wait to run it! If anyone here’s is interested please check the replies! I have a Google drive link.

Always wanted to give this a shot, but I've found it weirdly difficult to track it down. Does anyone have it or know where I can get a PDF of it?
