Practical advice needed, and thank you in advance. The question is, "everbody" says that Gurps is a toolkit and you choose which rules you use. Fine, I get it and that is what I want to do. But how do you go on about in practical terms? There are so many thick books. Suppose some one pulls out a rulebook and says: "In page 354 of Thaumatology it says..." I don't even mean rule lawyering. I just mean players' understandable desire to use all of the rules. Do you write down your homerules for their advantage? Or do you just explain it during session? Some players might feel it to be unfair. Also, I like to encourage players creative ideas. So how can I tell them, no, that rule about axe throwing is not observed here? Besides, I do so much tinkering that I might as well rewrite entire rulebooks! :D I hope was able to explain my dilemma.

The third session of our GURPS Solo-roleplay using GURPS, Mythic Gamemaster Emulator and a few other bits and pieces (even some homebrew) is up.

In this episode, our amnesiac hero presents himself in the Mage's Association Tower as part of his court-mandated process of becoming a "mandatory volunteer".

As you guys have suggested, the all rolling of dice remain in-line.

So can a character use the aim manoeuvre on a target outside of the weapons range e.g. : character A is holding a harpoon at the ready, on his next turn he aims at the target which is 25 yards away (harpoons max range is 18). The target moves on it's turn which brings it into range of Character A. On the next turn Character A throws his harpoon.

Does character A get the bonus from the aim?

Hey so I am new to GURPS and really enjoying it. I was from Pathfinder originally but had many problems with the system and made the jump over.

One of the things I loved to do though was look at other people's builds both their own and where they had tried to create a character from other media (Geralt from the Witcher or Batman from ... well Batman) in Pathfinder.

The Pathfinder Guide to Guides had a build emporium with loads of sample builds.

Does GURPS have anything like this ??
