Previous thread: >>97111514GURPS 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?
>>97232190No, because the answer is always "yes".I have played a lot of different games before playing GURPS and all of them would have been better if I had been playing gurps.>only warbetter as gurps>D&Dbetter as dungeon fantasy>warharmmer fantasy 2ebetter as gurps>Vampire the masqueradebetter as gurps>shadowrunbetter as gurps Action>Cyberpunk better as gurps actionComment too long.

>>97232190Yes. Its a thought that frequently comes up whenever we try to run something in any other system. Usually, the answer to "why don't we run this in gurps instead" is that it would be a lot of work on the GM's end to do it right.
>>97232610Why tho? Have you tried omitting subsystems?
>>97232682Theres a difference between "can run this in gurps" and "can run this in gurps better than an existing system." For something like Traveller, which 100% can be run in GURPS, but requires the GM to read and use Spaceships, stat a bunch of gear in GCS, ect, its easier to just cope with an existing system. When my group does GURPS conversion projects they usually take months of GCS work, because we want to do them comprehensively, rather than just renaming a bunch of relevant tech doodads.This isn't to say our way is the only way, its totally fine to just rename UT equipment to run cyberpunk or make a legally distinct but inspired by (x) setting in an afternoon, but its just how we generally seem to prefer doing it.

>>97232838I hate every color White has zero identity now and is just black without the prices black has to payBlue is similarly a pile of value building slop with no focus because hasbro decided draw-go control is the devilGreen feels the most honest, aside from a handful of busted permanents, and thus is basically a dead colorBlack has been left behind by the power creep, somewhat ironically because it was the polebearer of retarded powercreep just a couple years backRed is sinful. Red is evil. Red doesn't follow any design constraint anymore. The only thing red lacks is counter magic and it doesn't really need it when it can, at instant speed, drop a nuclear bomb in response to a counterspell being put on the stack.
>>97232838>TQgreen i guess just because it has the least amount of cards i find fun or interesting in the game
>>97232838Red. I’m so fucking tired of the bullshit JOTC has been printed for this retarded color lately, besides when you see how broken the color can be you also notice how little brain you need for pilot decks with it

Christmas edition▶What is Kingdom Death?Kingdom Death is a tabletop miniature brand stared by Adam Poots and operated by himself and his Team that later spun off into a miniature based bored game funded by two very successful Kickstarter campaigns.▶What is Kingdom Death: Monster?Monster is a Nightmare Horror cooperative boss battler/miniature hobby game for 1-4 players about hope in a strange world of bizarre monstrosities and perpetually darkness. Players take on the role of survivors that band together to form a settlement, fighting monsters, crafting weapons and gear, and developing their civilization to ensure survival from generation to generation.Prologue Narration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNLc8dHv0AcThe Game is broken up into 3 phases:1. During your Hunt Phase your band of survivors traverse the world of KD in pursuit of their quarry.2. After successfully tracking your quarry you will begin the Showdown Phase, where you must fell these horrific creatures in order to acquire precious resources.3. After the battle, your survivors wander home with loot in hand to begin the Settlement Phase. Arm yourself by developing new weapons and bizarre structures to prepare for next year's hunt.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>97232296>even on the worse possible outcome of losing a survivor, 10+ survivores get +1STR>Every settlement phase can net +40str spread overThis shit is clearly broken, as in, clearly not intended to be abused, and if you "won" 3 campaigns pumping 40STR every year you may as well fudge rolls, that shit is disgusting bro
>>97232314Tell me you don't paint or model minis without saying you don't paint or model minis.
>>97232353What the fuck are you talking about?
>>97232296I will say its mostly just been bad luck. I am a statistical anomaly with how bad my luck is with and game involving dice. Also our first two runs we did completely blind and did not meta, per say. I do feel we are much better then when we first played.
>>97233035Gotcha. Well, I wish you better luck in the coming year, then.Also, another thing I forgot to mention with SotF, is that per Poots directly the "you must keep this result" part of the text only means you can't go back to the original result, not that the new result can't be rerolled. Also, SotF rerolls on multi-die rolls such as SotF intimacy will reroll one at a time, not both.So in short:- Anybody present can reroll any die. During settlement phase, any survivor can reroll anything. During hunt and showdown phase, any departing survivor can reroll anything. I assume this counts scouts too? Haven't played since GC came out like I said but it seems to fit the pattern.- The same die can be rerolled as many times as you're willing to throw rerolls at it.- When rerolling a multi-die roll (such as SotF intimacy or an attack roll), each reroll only affects one die.It is easy mode but it's how Poots says it works so I guess that's how it is.

>>97232916poor little dragon blood...
About to try and GM my first Exalted game, using 3e. I've done VtM 20th anniversary before so a lot of the system is recognizable but for my 2 Solars what kind of scale are they going to be starting at? I was envisioning them running around the Scavenger Lands since one of them is a runaway from Lookshy and was going to pick a city up the river as a starting location. Should I expect with their powers (One is a Zenith one is a Twilight) that they'll be taking over that city through social manipulation or raising armies out of the citizens and on a march of conquest at Essence 1? I'm used to improvisation but just want to know if I should prepare things around a single city or do I need to be ready for them to be jumping from city to city like the Hulk and talk no justu'ing every mortal administrator into being either a loyal puppet or sex slave?

I would sooner recommend Shadowdark or Mork Borg before I would have a completely new players introduced to the hobby with 5e, and I think both of those games suck shit straight from the poop hole.
Holiday EditionDiscuss and post elves. Elf lore, gameplay, and art are all appreciated.QOTT: What are some of the best gifts to give elf-lovers? What gifts would you give to lovers of other races/species/ancestries/whatever?
>>97232622I think that after reading your intro, that one nofap guy was right and people like you shouldn't post in these threads.
>>97231519Gift cards would be a pretty useful gift (or loot) seeing how easier a card is to carry around than tons of coins.
>>97231104I just have my elves view everything that isn't an elf as a potential source of food. Humans are great because of their short life spans and the fact that it took only a few hundred years and treating them half decently until they re-arranged their entire culture identity to give their dead over to the elves as a more dignified option rather than just burning them or throwing them in the dirt.
>>97230958Yeah, Drow in a lot of older lore do eat lesser races like Humans, Duregar etc.They don't see it as cannibalism however, because they're 'lesser creatures'.

>>97165346Hey >>97165495, what about cool shit that can be done with fire magic that doesn't just rip off Fire Force? Especially if there's other magical disciplines that can be tied to fire magic, like potentially transmutation for instance. Same for water element magic like >>97220083 suggested.
>>97233086Use your fire abilities to super-heat the ground and create your own blob of magma/lava to manipulate.
Previously: https://desuarchive.org/tg/thread/96936967/When last we met, we made G.E.T.S. (Generally Entertaining Team-built System). Thus far, it seems to be a fairly minimalist system.Now, we shall make our first setting for this system.If your proposed idea gets doubles, it is canonized. Any canon characters, worldbuilding, themes, et cetera can be modified (but not outright contradicted or discarded) by triples, quadruples, et cetera.Let us continue.
Pyramids are the most popular architectural form.
The player characters are on a quest to capture numerous fantastical creatures (up to a party of 6), training them until they are strong enough to challenge greater angels and become the champion of whatever their creature-taming-based hierarchy is.
>>97182030All random chance is based on drawing from a pre-shuffled deck of cardsModifying or reading this deck is possible for certain magic users (Including enemies)This deck contains "Calamities" and "Miracles", the equivalent of critsThe deck has a joker, and when it is drawn the deck re-shuffles(What each card means is in a look up table, many are situational.)(None of them are "Wacky" and none are instantly obvious such as "The sky turns red".)>>97193933Exceedingly based
>>97231478>CalamitiesMy dyslexia made me read that as "Catamites".
God is dead and heaven is falling to disarrayThere are many wars yet to be fought by his former followersSome factions maintain that all is a test and the truth will someday be revealedAngels themselves are meant to be one time use, to be made and discarded by god as they please. Each player (And each angel in general) has a single miracle that they are built to cast. They are usually pretty strongAlso there are cute agender cherubsAt some point are we going to stop rolling? take the better ideas and fill in the blanks?

I’m running a low fantasy game, and social advancement is gonna be a thing. So the PCs are gonna be rubbing elbows with a lot of noble families as they make their way into high society. I’m just asking for NPCs and ideas.Most of the nobility are humans, but a few are half-elves and halflings.
>>97233040Be sure to give the players the social status that lets them participate in society and intrigue so that they aren't just stuck watching NPCs do stuff and can actually be the protagonists of the story
