| Hi there! So I'm very new to gurps, but I read up on it a lot (I like learning new systems) and I think this should be a viable character for this upcoming game. It's dungeon crawler carl, and the DM wanted to use gurps, despite the DCC game coming out soon, but basically the premise is I start with no magic. Do these mechanics work? I've essentially built myself (with stuff I'd like to do but can't of course), which is why I took some of the disadvantages/advantages. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if this build won't really work well. I really don't know. {"name":"Andrew Dyk","player":"Job Cavanaugh","description":"A scientist at the university, who didn't much like the universal government, and tried to steal from them, for the rebellion.","appearance":"scraggly brown hair, blue eyes, often grinning","height":"5ft 11in","weight":"120 lbs","age":"21","unspentPoints":"60","st":10,"dx":"11","iq":"12","ht":"11","dmgMod":0,"blMod":0,"hpMod":"3","willMod":0,"perMod":"-2","fpMod":0,"basicSpeedMod":0,"basicMoveMod":"0","sizeModId":0,"mageryBonus":0,"imageUrl":"","campaignTl":"6","tl":"6","advantages":[{"name":"Daredevil","cost":"15"},{"name":"Versatile","cost":"5"},{"name":"Rapier Wit","cost":"5"},{"name":"Gizmo x2","cost":"10"},{"name":"Hard to Kill 3","cost":"6"},{"name":"Talent (Improvisation)","cost":"5"}],"armours":[],"cultures":[{"name":"Universal","native":true,"alien":false}],"disadvantages":[{"name":"Curious","cost":"-5"},{"name":"Trickster","cost":"-15"},{"name":"Impulsiveness","cost":"-10"},{"name":"Trademark","cost":"-5"},{"name":"Easy to Read","cost":"-10"},{"name":"Overconfidence","cost":"-5"}],"equipments":[],"handWeapons":[{"name":"Punch","damage":"thr-1 cr","reach":"C","parry":"0","notes":"Test DX","qty":1,"cost":0,"weight":0},{"name":"Kick","damage":"thr cr","reach":"C,1","parry":"No","notes":"Test DX-2; on miss, test DX to avoid falling","qty":1,"cost":0,"weight":0}],"languages":[{"name":"Universal","spokenLevel":"native","writtenLevel":"native","nativeLang":true}],"perks":[{"name":"Penatrating Voice"}],"quirks":[{"name":"Attentive"},{"name":"Imaginative"},{"name":"Code of Honor (Fairness)"},{"name":"Congenial"},{"name":"Likes Coffee"}],"rangedWeapons":[],"reactions":[],"skills":[{"id":"weird-science","name":"Weird Science","mod":"2","miscMod":0,"miscModSrc":"","difficultyId":"very-hard","attrId":"iq","catId":"knowledge","isWildcard":false,"defaultId":"","defaultMod":0},{"id":"public-speaking","name":"Public Speaking","mod":"1","miscMod":0,"miscModSrc":"","difficultyId":"average","attrId":"iq","catId":"social","isWildcard":false,"defaultId":"","defaultMod":0},{"id":"alchemy","name":"Explosives","mod":0,"miscMod":"0","miscModSrc":"","difficultyId":"average","attrId":"iq","catId":"combat","isWildcard":false,"defaultId":"","defaultMod":0},{"id":"engineering","name":"Engineering","mod":"2","miscMod":0,"miscModSrc":"","difficultyId":"hard","attrId":"iq","catId":"crafting","isWildcard":false,"defaultId":"","defaultMod":0},{"id":"firearms","name":"Firearms","mod":"2","miscMod":0,"miscModSrc":"","difficultyId":"easy","attrId":"dx","catId":"combat","isWildcard":false,"defaultId":"","defaultMod":0},{"id":"knife","name":"Knife","mod":"1","miscMod":0,"miscModSrc":"","difficultyId":"easy","attrId":"dx","catId":"combat","isWildcard":false,"defaultId":"","defaultMod":0},{"id":"fast-talk","name":"Fast Talk","mod":0,"miscMod":0,"miscModSrc":"","difficultyId":"average","attrId":"iq","catId":"social","isWildcard":false,"defaultId":"","defaultMod":0}],"spells":[],"techniques":[]} [link] – [comments] |

| Have you had your eye on the Gurps system for a while, but have had no luck finding people to play with? Do the rules seem interesting, but you have a hard time wrapping your head around how it actually works? Are you the type of person who learns by doing instead of just reading? I am going to be running a very simple one shot for totally new players just trying to understand the basic mechanics of Gurps. Working as a team, you will solve a noir mystery and bring the suspects to justice. An art museum has reported the disappearance of their newest piece, "Venus in Jade", the day before its big debut. The museum curator has called on some private investigators to scan the crime scene for clues and track it down. Follow leads, interview suspects, tussle and tumble your way to cracking this case! This would be taking place over Discord voice in the evening ideally Wednesday July 8th. Specific times can be discussed pending player availability but a good rule of thumb would be starting at 8pm CST. Characters can be premade, or I can walk you through the process of making your own. This one shot will be TL 6, and include brief combat scenes along with some social encounters. Again this is primarily aimed at people with minimal experience with Gurps. Send me a message if you have any questions! [link] – [comments] |

In RPG and fantasy, we are often faced with a situation where the existence of gods is an empirically confirmed fact, rather than a matter of belief. Two extremes can be distinguished in the representation of these entities (note - I do not claim that all creation adopts one of these two extreme points of view). On the one hand - the current, for which, for example, most of the settings for D&D can be considered representative - gods are personification of certain values professed by people, not infrequently they are even "born" from the faith of mortals or at least derive power from it/are shaped by it, gods described as "good" are simply good in the conventional sense of the word, they sincerely care about their followers and you know what to expect from them. On the other side, we have motifs that can be considered taken from Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythology - the gods are incomprehensible, distant beings, completely unconcerned with human worldviews and so-called "good and evil. good and evil, mostly indifferent to humanity (and if by chance their paths intersect with that humanity, so much the worse for it) - at the same time, it is not uncommon for most mortals to be unaware of their existence, instead worshipping imaginary, more anthropomorphic deities tailored to their emotional needs. I wanted to invent some deities standing somewhere in the middle - entities whose goals, yes, are not fully understood by mortals, but nevertheless close enough to their own morality that worshippers can find some commonality (real or imaginary) with their patrons. At the same time, I wanted each description to contain a hook, an important point where the devotees' understanding of the deity diverges from its real nature - and whose discovery could be a significant twist. I invite you to read and discuss.

So, after over 30 years in the hobby and with some prejudice against GURPS from when I was an edgy teen who only wanted to know about World of Darkness, I decided to explore the system and, besides the core and main line, have come across Transhman Space and WWII that bring the powered by GURPS sigil on the cover. Are you aware of other "Powered by GURPS" products? What tips would you give an elderly (46 year-old) player, new to this GURPS thing?

| Hello people, this is an attempt I made into creating a time stop power (mostly taking from Jojo and Touhou) into GURPS, if yall wanna take a look into exactly where I brought that from, check Pyramid 100 and the Martial Arts book Edit: I just realized I sent the screenshot with a bunch of campaign specific stuff instead of the generic one, oops. Please ignore the flavor [link] – [comments] |
