So I was wondering how could I do a magic system like the one in fma?

All of the rules in this game feel very melee to close-ranged focus, and my players are often bored by the repetitiveness of gunplay, so I was wondering if anyone had homebrew that made it a bit more interesting? I am really trying to make this fun for people because making Fallout in GURPS has been my passion project for some time now, but this feels like a major hurdle I'd like some advice on

I’m currently looking for games is there a discord or a specific place to find GURPS games? Or anyone on here that has an open spot? Been DM for a bit and now I really wanna play.

I go over a lot of this in my video, but for the sake of the conversation here...

I like the compact nature of it. Everything in one book. As opposed to the two separate ones in the current edition. Perhaps it does not have as much meat, but it also may not be necessary.

I still like the idea of point defense. Although there has been an exploit found, I still enjoy the added depth of armor that it provides. Instead of just damage reduction, each armor has a passive defense that also makes the target a little harder to hit.

I find the style and layout more appealing. The art is well done and the fonts are solid, clear, and easy to read. The revised edition of 3rd seems messy in that 1990's way. 4th edition's 3 column layout looks good at first until you start looking things up, then it has an annoying feel. 3rd edition layout is just simple and nice.

I would like to create a character who has the Dread disadvantage, and that the disadvantage would be "activated" when she approaches anything that can show a reflection of herself, be it a mirror or a new pan. Do you think that reflections do not apply to this disadvantage? And if so, would reflections be an occasional, common, or very common "thing"?

Sorry if the terms are not correct, I use the Portuguese manual.

GURPS 4th Edition

I'm a firm believer that real big characters need tiny friends. One should be dumb, the other smart. They usually get up to shenanigans together. The only thing about it however, is the fact of the strength difference between games like DnD and GURPS. In DnD it's no problem for the big character to carry the tiny one, be it in a special harness or on their shoulder. And the obvious part about throwing the tiny character at an enemy. I get not every group would want a zany duo causing mischief, but I think it's fun.

One question is, is it worth taking size modifiers just to have this duo? I guess another would be just how much would the big character need to invest in strength? Is there another way of going about this?

I'm still pretty new to GURPS and haven't gone through all the rules yet.

I’m playing a high powered Supers game, and one of my players has come up with a cool concept that I’m having trouble building. She wants to play a modern incarnation of an Idun / Hebe type goddess, with two main powers.

1. An aura that emanates from her at all times with a few effects. First, anything within the aura stops aging, and anything that is “past its prime” will move back towards that prime state at a speed that is proportional to their proximity to her (I.e 10x within area 1, 9x within area 2, and so on and so forth). She also wants a regenerative effect and DR with the same stipulations, as well as reduced consumption, sleep etc, all with the effect of becoming more powerful with increased proximity.

2. The creation of “apples”, permanent objects that she can create and have the effect of being in the closest proximity to her (the most powerful aura effect from above), that lasts for 7 days and does not require any further proximity to her to work.

I love the concept but am seriously struggling with how to build this out. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated, as this is a high powered game I’m not too concerned with the point cost, just with capturing the feel of what she’s going for. Thanks in advance!

Hey folks! Does anyone here know how to price Wealth that falls in between two gradations of the Wealth advantage? For instance: Starting with 10x Starting Wealth would be nice, but how would one price that?

Also: Has anyone used the Trading Points for Cash rules on the MyGURPS site? Would like to hear some impressions.
