Greetings.

I've been asked by a dear friend's widow to help see that his collection ends up someplace where it can be appreciated. Cancer took him before he got his three score and seven. Bob worked with fanzines, authors, and Steve Jackson games but wasn't ever a full time employee (that I know of). Bob was a wonderful human being and he is missed.

Part of his legacy includes a mint condition collection of what I believe are all the GURPS related publications in Japanese. I'd like to auction them off with proceeds going to a cancer charity. Any suggestions where to start?

Is there a way to somehow do multiple telekinesises?

Like pretty much take magneto in any incarnation of him. He usually uses his magnatisim to carry himself around, but also uses it to control other metal around him.

Disclaimer: I am sorry if I appear to be "flooding", and that is not my intention. I'm on vacation, with a lot of time on my hands, so I have been playing a lot. If the moderation feels I'm posting too quick, please let me know and I will share these roleplaying session once a week only, with links for multiple sessions if that is the case.

With that being said, yesterday I managed to play for about 10 hours straight and concluded the second session of Omnigard. This time, I've left all the rolls - skill and oracle rolls - on the main body of the text for easy access, in hopes that it might help people interested in solo-rp to follow the proccess.

As for character points, I think I will give Loch 1-2CP for each day played. For instance, the whole trip by boat from Bowaithe to Omnigard took two days, but since those were not played in full, he got only a single CP at the end of yesterday's session.

I also began posting the Traveling Troll Reports, in which I do a bit of worldbuilging and share the towns/places our character have visited. As for right now, there's only the Traveling Troll Reports: Bowaithe, and I assume the Capital's going to take a bit longer, since it's a ginormous place and I don't want to just roll for it, but to actually give it some more thought - although I have roled some already, for use in Session 02.

With all of that being said, I hope you enjoy. All feedback is not only appreciated, but sincerely encouraged.

In this scenario character A (chA) is using a halberd and character B (chB) is using a long sword.

1. chB attacks chA and rolls a success.

2. chA then parries the attack and rolls a success.

Can chA in the process of burying through chB?

The judo skill allows a character to parry a blow and then throw them on a successful parry, is there a way to do the same with a weapon?

By any chance are anyone here aware of or has ever played the old 3e Supers Adventure School of Hard Knocks?

I find it has some really cool Supers-NPCs and a couple fine battle scenes. However the in between investigative scenes seems kinda week and in need of some tweeks.

If any of you are familiar with it and has any tips on how to run or fix it, I'd be so greatful!!

So there are these Pain Conditions. They give penalties to DX, IQ, skill, and self-control.

So far so good.

And there are "Painkillers" like Morphine in GURPS 4e High Tech. You take one or are injected, and if you fail a HT roll... You get the effects.

And one of them is High Pain Threshold.

Now here are the problems.

1. You get a +3 against knockdown or stunning. You can't suffer shock penalties. You get a bonus against being tortured. So far so good.

However, it's a little unclear with the whole "Your GM could allow you can do Will+3 to ignore pain in other situations". Does that include the Pain Condition? If you succeed this roll, does the Pain condition not do anything for awhile?

-

Here is the more serious problem.

1. If the Painkiller kicks in... You have euphoria. Euphoria... Causes penalties... Of 3.... to DX, IQ, skill, and self-control.

So basically to avoid penalties to DX, IQ, skill, and self-control... You subject yourself to penalties to DX, IQ, skill, and self-control.... And you're Lazy.

Is this on purpose? Is this a mistake?

I have shared with you the Session #00 of my new solo-roleplaying campaign using GURPS, where I created the first region of our world.

Now our story has truly began! I hope you all enjoy it. If you do, please subscribe on Substack and, also, leave a comment there. Talking about the worlds I'm building and the characters that inhabit them truly is half of the fun.

A couple of things I want to mention:

1) My last series was written in a journal formet, which’s not goot for worldbuilding. I’m now writing as an omniscient character who’s acting as a storyteller. Please be patient, as the change in style might take me some getting used to.

2) All rolls and oracle-questions are displayed as footnotes. I decided to go that route so people that do not care about the rolls can skip them without losing immersion, but people who are interested in how solo-roleplaying works can actually see the process and the questions. Using footnotes worked well for the journal format, but maybe I'll put the rolls in the text's body for this one. I'm really not sure, so please share you experience.

With that said, I hope you enjoy!

4ed question obviously

We're discussing that in my club for two days for now, i can't really get that.

Rapid Strike (B370) is written as manuever which gives you one extra attack (namely advantage with that name?) for a ready weapon with -6 to both attacks.

Dual-weapon Attack (B417) gives you one extra attack with weapon next hand with -4. Rules treat its as cinematic technique. You also can trade one extra attack for dual-weapon one but not more than once per round.

First question - what's the point being them having different penalties? Just because one is cinematic and other's don't?

Dual-weapon attack has a default on B304 Techniques table and only prequisite it has is to have two weapons equipped (one-handed? I can think also about two-sided two-handed blades. Or bare HANDS is being on a side of more easily found weaponary). And as well as Rapid Strike ain't have no prequisites to call it.

So you can by default call them both to have three silmuntanious attacks with uh... -10? I'm interested in high levels of power so that's a valid penalty in situations, and partially can be buying out... But now about defaulits.

I don't really getting the point of ain't keeping them in one uniform rule. Ain't that is one situation of be able attack two times within same second, using the extra difficulty (i.e. more penalty the more you trying to attack)? Because it seem to be more logical if you just apply more of the same penalty as more times you try to strike per turn. Which is was -4 on my games. And i readed in recently (Jeez, i'm actively GMing for a year! Sorry i'm skewed reader sometimes) and it suddenly stopped to make sence to me.

And by the way. Rules allows call Rapid Strike as All-Out Attack, giving another extra attack but without extra penalty added to already -10. Is All-Out Dual-Weapon (Double) Rapid Strike Attack that make you able to have 4 attacks BY DEFAULT per second a legal thing? It feels illegal for me.

Infection and domination allow you to give your template to someone else (IE: A vampire turning someone else into a vampire by biting them.) though I am looking for something that can be used to enhance NPC's. For example the ability to ordain someone as a paladin granting them some divine protections or a spell that involves turning someone into a half demon.
