I want to run a Southern Appalachian themed game with a focus on conflicts ranging from fights against coal barrons to modern corporate exploitation to fighting the KKK. While primarily focused on the interwar Depression era, but it could range from the 1700s frontier to modern day. While not a primary component, there is room for magic and horror just like real life Appalachia (live here 55+ years, you’ll understand what I mean 😁). I’m not very experienced with GURPS, so I’m looking for insights/suggestions on how to proceed, resources suggested, etc. Thank you.

Hello,

I have just added a new post to my campaign blog. This time I explore the Conservatory, a faction of psychics who control the only means of interstellar communication in the galaxy:

Been a bit of a passion project so far, and is my own take on the system. But I plan on adding all the weapons from the game, the armor, and the custom tech like the shielding. The doc so far

Can someone explain to me how this advantage works, and what modification do? Im not really getting it

So, in our TL3 world, my character has the power to bend his own blood(Limited control on any blood), so I need ideas that fit his power. Any interesting concept that could sound reasonable is okay. He currently has:

• Regeneration
• Healing (makes people drink his own blood, then controls it to heal them)
• Innate Attack with Follow-Up (he puts his blood into his katana to infect people)
• Special Rapport with Transferable (again, makes people drink his own blood)

I also have an idea to make weapons out of blood, but I don't know how to do it. I don't want to use Innate Attack for this. I want the weapons to scale with ST.

Imagine a low-tech rascal who excels at accurate, long-range spitting. He likes spitting in the guards faces to taunt them before escaping through the crowded market stalls. He might get creative and try and target eyes, mouth, the bald patch on the head, etc. I'm guessing this should be a 0-point feature giving a non-damaging innate attack (possibly affliction if our rapscallion got the sniffles or, worse, the shits, likely not uncommon given the setting).

How would you model this mechanically? Accuracy, range, effect (hard to fight with spit in your eyes, plus disgust etc)

I am currently playing a low-tech fantasy campaign. Characters have thematic magical and extraordinary abilities. I am playing a fighter with 9 levels of night vision and my character's theme is darkness, night etc.

Is there a way to build obscure that would let me utilize my nine levels of night vision and receive a some kind of discount in cost? (I don't want to go for Defensive (+50%) as that enhancement means it didnt really matter whether I had night vision)
