 Import GCA5 Characters into GCS
Posted: 2023-12-02T05:04:21+00:00
Author: /u/Grevillianhttps://www.reddit.com/user/Grevillian

Hi,
I'm running a GURPS 4E game on Foundry using the excellent GURPS Game Aid. I bought, and use, GCA5 for managing the characters and then import them into Foundry.

Nose66 is making a new game aid for GURPS that will use GCS. I'd like to test it without recreating their characters from scratch. Is there a way to export a character from GCA5 and import it to GCS?

 How much damage?
Posted: 2023-12-02T04:34:39+00:00

How much dice of damage would you say this does, and would you have it be cutting or impaling damage?

If you were building this as an Innate Attack, what would be the exact modifiers you would give it?

`

Thanks for any suggestions!

 Department of Truth

I’m working on a campaign based on the “Department of Truth” comic series. Lots of conspiracy investigation by the players acting as agents in modern times with plenty of pulp action. I’m pulling from Illuminati, Warehouse 23, Gun-Fu, Action Heroes, Mysteries, Horror, and maybe pulling some Monster Hunter and Cabal stuff into it. I love the comic series so don’t want to give too much away especially now that it’s being set up for screen writing. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

In a game I am running for my friends, they are going to be encountering a serial killer. Does anyone here have any good ideas for horrible traps they might have to deal with?

 Blood Meridian Characters
Posted: 2023-11-29T20:11:24+00:00
Author: /u/Tito_BAhttps://www.reddit.com/user/Tito_BA

I'm halfway through the book, and I began to think how would the characters in the book could be depicted using GURPS rules.

So far I'm thinking about The Kid, Glanton, Toadvine and the Judge.

The Kid: loads of Luck and advantages to keep him unscathed.

Toadvine: he's a horse-thief, so I'm thinking about good riding skills.

Glanton: apart from being a tough leader and a good shot, he also befriends a dog and talks to his horse.

The Judge: now he's a real puzzle. You can either put him at a high point-level with loads of skills, or go with the theory that he's the Devil, and design accordingly.

Has anybody thought about it?

Author: /u/Craftcoathttps://www.reddit.com/user/Craftcoat

We are playing in a game largely inspired by XCOM and Phoenix point and i am playing a Combat Mechanoid of about 2,5 Meters in height.

How would i need to build a Pile Bunker style melee weapon As either equippable gear or innate attack?

i want it to consume ammo and a small magazine with a firerate low enough to have at least 1 round of cooldown inbetween uses

In case anyone needs to know what a pile bunker is here is an Article: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PileBunker
