So our group is about to try some sort of monster dungeon campaign. I got a radomly generated image of a creature that I'm trying to work on developing. Its a two-headed quadraped like a cat/canine with a scorpion tail and some sorts of glowing stripe markings.

Beyond Quadraped is there templates out there that are having two head and the scorpion tail?

Could I receive the GURPs discord link?

I'm running a campaign in The Witcher setting. The major problem I've faced right now is that teleportation is very expensive energy-wise, while in The Witcher, mages can cast teleports without getting absolutely exhausted. How can I fix that?

I’d love suggestions on what to buy to get that started. Thanks!

Hey everyone, my Dnd group decided to try GURPS for a one-shot campaign. I am just learning what it is and I'm a little overwhelmed with all of my options. It seems like it can be really fun and I appreciate the flexibility in making a character, I'm just not quite sure where to start. My concept is a greaser-esque teen boy who aspires to be a leader and gets most of his inspo from films (the setting takes place in the 60s.) I want him to be the tactician/ strategist of the group, obsessed with military strategy. It would also be fun to have him be fairly proficient with magic. I'm not sure if that's to much to ask for or what I should prioritize to have these traits make sense. If anyone has any recommendations, tips, or tricks, I'd so greatly appreciate it!
