Hello all! I was wondering if there was an official, or semi-official currently active discord server for the GURPS system, as google only showed me posted dated to 2025 or earlier, none with active invites. Thank you!

I have the 4e base set and the magic book. The world is TL3 magical fantasy with a normal mana level. Rather than kill stuff, I'd like to build a character that can improve living conditions and save lives on the largest scale possible, while avoiding death at the hands of the forces of evil, ranging from robber barons to demon kings.

What advantages, skills, and spells would be most useful in a scenario like this?

The SJGames site has a list of every supplement of 3e and 4e, but it doesn't tell what the supplement is about. Some of them are obvious like GURPS Magic or GURPS Horror, but when it comes to a series like GURPS Action or GURPS Infinity Worlds, the names are not exactly self-explanatory so a little summary of the books would be very cool. Also would be extra cool if the resource told which 3e supplement went obsolete by their 4e counterpart or which one didn't get a proper 4e like Vehicles

I've just finished reading my new .pdf of GURPS Magical Styles: Dungeon Magic. There are long lists of Perks themed for each of the seven orders. However, the majority are not explained within the text. For example: Frightening Side Effects, Magical Lawyer, Thaumatological Doublespeak. So what publication do I need? It's not GURPS Power-Ups 2: Perks, I just bought that and read that first.

A bit of a Fighter and Monster Hunter, he aims for Nets, Lances, Harpoons, large chain sized Kusari Gama, Heavy Crossbows. They employ giant horses in their drag captures and slaying.
Is this possible in 300pts?
Help!

What scale would I need to knock down Dragons casually?
I've already given my players 500 points like 'Supers', but I'm wondering if I-Scale is enough for big Dragons.
My sandbox game is as likely that a guy runs a stall as the group knocks down huge monsters, but I'm doing my homework. Do let me know, thank you.

so I’m very new to gurps, I have ordered the two basic set 4e books and I think it looks like a really fun game. I’m in a group that meets weekly when enough people are available, and we started out doing dnd 5e, but as we’ve gotten more into TTRPGs, we’ve started liking dnd 5e less and less. The main reason I want to move away from 5e is because of minmaxing. one of the players minmaxes constantly, and I think it’s ruined sessions for the rest of us. I found dungeon crawl classics, which seemed perfect because character creation is totally random. I ran a one shot for it and we had a lot of fun, but the minmaxer said he wanted more character customization, to which I jokingly brought up gurps. He had never heard of it, but he looked it up and was immediately interested. He got the basic set books and has been telling me how much cooler the powerbuilding is than DnD. I’m worried he will do the same thing he did with DnD and I will have to play gurps without him. Is powerbuilding a problem in gurps? If so, how do I deal with it?
