I'm sorry both of you idiots are showing the fact that you are recent tourists. The setting of the web comic was built with GURPS with the majority of the characters and races having GURPS write ups. New pages have been posted on /tg/ since likely before you learned to read.

Previous thread: >>97111514

GURPS is a modular, adaptable system, capable of running a wide range of characters, settings, and play styles, with a level of detail varying from lightweight to completely autistic.
Optional rules allow you to emulate different genres with a single system, or even switch genres within a single game.

A nearly complete archive of GURPS books can be found by using the image. Never post direct links to the archive anywhere in plain text.

If you're wondering where to start:
- The Basic Set covers everything, including a lot of optional rules you probably won't use.
- A genre guide can be found in the archive, under Unofficial/GURPSgen. It tells you what extra books and articles you may find useful for many common genres.
- How To Be a GURPS GM is a good read even for players.
- GCS (gurpscharactersheet.com) is an excellent character-builder software, with page references to all the books and the option to export to both Foundry and Fantasy Grounds.

Thread question: How often do you use an official GURPS setting? Which are your favorites?

I suppose this might be a topic better suited as it's own thread. But I'll ask here since I'd probably run it in GURPS:
What's the best way to run an FE style game in a TTRPG? Not quite literally in a turn based tactics kind of way, but I meant more making the players feel like they're traveling with a large warband on whatever grand quest they're on. Awakening has like 42 characters, excluding Robin. 40+ unique NPCs hanging around the party feels pretty unwieldy when also accounting for people outside of the warband.

Any advice on handling it?

I can see three possibilities. Either just narratively say they're with you party, with a random character you choose talking to the PCs one and a while so they actually "feel" there. Actually put all the characters in a battle which is a pretty big hassle keeping track so i wouldn't do this. There's GURPS Mass Combat which makes it easy to simulate all these people, but i haven't used it so i cannot tell you how good it is.

>>97268345
Two Can Die for the Price of One (Dungeon Fantasy 15 p. 33) provides guidance on letting a single player control multiple PCs simultaneously.
The Arithmetic of Rank (Social Engineering p. 14) provides guidance on how many officers of different Rank are needed in a warband.
Social Engineering: Pulling Rank and Dungeon Fantasy 17 provide guidance on the mechanics of a warband itself.

>>97268420
>guidance on how many officers of different Rank are needed in a warband
Also, you could have each PC be an officer in command of a few NPC grunts.

This is always meaningless and reductive. You can easily say humans are just uppity self important shaved apes and not much else in reality. You can then go on and on about how special humans are, but deep down it's just monkey shit dialed up. In the end, it is nothing but goalpost moving and posturing.

Every sapient species is going to inevitably share common traits. Or do you throw a fit too somehow, that most animals have sex? Most living beings have eyes and limbs? If something not human dies when it is injured enough is that also ripping off humans then?

Nah, kneejerk emotional reactions based on learned associations most definitely aren't about rstionality, and neither sre the contextual factors that'd make a Solar's powers merely impressive - and scary - rather than incredible.

Trench Raiding With The Lads Edition

>What is Trench Crusade?
An alternate weird history 28mm/32mm tabletop skirmish game still in a pre-release playtesting phase but with the full release slated for this year. Based on the art and lore of Mike Franchina, whose illustrations you may have seen floating around on /tg/ for a several years now, and designed by Tuomas Pirinen, one of the original creators of Mordheim. It's grimdark, it's visceral, it's awesome, and it's very Blanchitsu.

>What Trench Crusade is not
TC not an excuse for you to discuss IRL religion, history that didn't occur in the game, culture war shit, or discord bullshit on /tg/. Keep it on topic.

>What's the QRD on the background?
The Knights Templar turned heretic and opened the Gates of Hell when they took Jerusalem during the First Crusade. Over 800 years later the war is still ongoing as technology has developed to a pseudo diesel-punk WW1 standard and a third of Humanity has sided with the Infernal Princes.

Unless a person is solely talking about the layout, editing, and art of a book, there is zero reason to watch a review of a game they've done without playing the game or module. It's like reviewing a videogame by watching a looking at the box and watching let's plays.

That's why I like Seth Skworkowski, he only reviews shit he's run or played, so he actually has shit to say about it. There a million review channels that just have a static camera looking down on a pair of hands leading through a book and they have fuck all to say.
>>
>>97263179
Watching a review that goes over the basic mechanics, the options, the core gameplay loop, and tries to point out any glaring mechanical issues is worth something. A system can seem cool from the back cover elevator pitch, but unless you take the time to skim read everything, you might not pick up that the vibes and eye-catching presentation are covering a system that is otherwise just 5e in a different hat, or that the game is missing an important set of rules, or that everything is fucking busted, doesn't work as intended, or is just total bullshit to play.

Notepad's reviews aren't perfect by any stretch, and some are just outright gimmicks and memes instead of real reviews, but his style of quickly exploring the basics and noting any stand-out problems is not without merit. Especially when his competition for RPG reviews are the millions of pairs of hands awkwardly flipping through a book with nothing to say, as you pointed out.
>>
>>97263163
To be honest, even a lot of his articles are kind of basic or pretentious. The three clue rule, improv advice, etc.

Doesn't help that any question or issue you are experiencing often gets people uploading completely unrelated articles from him and treating it as gospel. It feels like he himself shills his stuff here with how often I see some dude push his stuff.
>>
>>97268075
That they are basic is the entire point. This hobby is dogshit for newcomers because the books no longer have any sort of procedural explanation and anyone who's been doing it for any length of time acts like you should just immediately know shit from first principles. It gets brought up a lot because most of it is solid, foundational and useful advice.

Not quite, which is a shame. I remember you posting them.
A few of the team members could probably be repurposed for the new deathwatch team though, so they're not nothing if you find yourself wanting to revive them.
Dedicated transports for decorative purposes are kino. Unfortunately the one team I've done one for has also wound up unusable.

the arena team is not really worried about curating brawl, they removed the majority of the feel bad cards and rebalanced a lot of cards for historic, but that's about the extent of it
