This anon is right even if UWfags are crying their asses out. Look at how hard they shat on Lorwyn is clear they didn't want to make UB and UW compete that's why they made a low power level set and you are already seeing very good cards at TMNT. They will force everyone to play UB if they wanna compete in the formats.

..It took many iterations of DnD for the designers to realize they accidentally made Fighters just Wizards without spells.

Wizards still weren't too wack cause you could cast one spell a day and the rest of your gimmick was being the only one with Use Magic Item.

Rogues could do spooky shit like climb sheer surfaces with no hand holds, hear noises on the wind no one else can via ????, and other spooky ninja crap. Which got turned in to mundane nonmagic skills later har har har you can now only climb and not magically climb anything you want.

Clerics the same as wizards, honestly.

Everything stems from the original errors.

Previous thread: >>97295718

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.

I have often considered collecting all my notes, and houserules, and publishing them. Several anons have even asked for it. I've posted links to a few of the spreadsheets I've made here before. Like the big table of generic TL9 guns.

With all the stuff I've written for my cyberpunk game I might have enough for a Monster Hunters, or After the End sized pdf with just that. Might clean that up, and post it. Maybe make a blog. That's what gurps people do right, make blogs?

>>97374829
The big issue with eugenics is that humans mature and breed so slowly that by the time you notice the positive traits you were selecting for also has some really nasty side-effect it'll be too late to easily fix it. Though with modern gene-sequencing technology that would be less of an issue, since you could just genetically screen people to ensure the genes that lead to enhanced strength or intellect don't also cause your heart to explode when you turn 20. Though at that point you might as well not rely on random and clumsy natural mutations and just use genetic engineering to create a race of supermen (possibly to conquer the world?).

>>97375067
IIRC downs syndrome isn't actually a hereditary condition, but something that happens when something randomly goes wrong with early embryonic development and results in a duplicate set of chromosomes which screws up the proper development of the embryo. You could prevent people with it from being born by aborting any fetus with the syndrome, and the odds of it occurring is to some degree tied to things like the mother's age and exposure to mutagenic chemicals, but it's basically always a random chance that it occurs so you can't really remove it from the gene pool.
Hereditary diabetes (as opposed to the one caused by improper diet) tends to onset relatively late, so most of the time people already had children by the times the symptoms started to show up, and when the average life-expectancy was lower the difference it made to your lifespan wasn't that great. In modern times it's easily medicated so the effect on your lifespan and ability to reproduce is minimal.

Depends on what you mean by eugenics and what you mean by make sense. Selective breeding goes back thousands of fucking years, but without modern science, any breeding program applied to humans isn't really going to be selecting for "good genes".

In short: It doesn't. Don't know shit about GeneStorm, but GammaWorld has a better setting and a wider collection of different editions, each with their own collections of splats and supplements, for you to enjoy and tailor to your tastes, on top of generally being better games with better settings.

Palladium's/TMNT&OS's mutation mechanics seem really cool at a glance, but when you really dig into them, the variety of options isn't that good and generally don't make very interesting characters.

Armor interferes with the flow of the winds of magic. You suffer a malus to casting spells and channeling spells in WFRP while wearing armor, based on the most protective armor.
However, not for all spheres of magic. You can cast spells of the lore of beasts while wearing leather armor without a malus. And spells of the lore of metal while wearing anything metal.
It's a pretty hefty malus. If your character is really good at spellcasting, he may start to just take it and wear armor regardless (and elves are really good mages). However, it shouldn't really be worth it. Unless you are a wizard ascribing to the aforementioned lores.
Unfunny fun fact: your wizard is supposed to dress in a way that fits his chosen lore of magic. There is no mechanic for that, it's more flavor. But in general, what your character wears can help or hinder the flow of the winds.
High Elves can eventually learn all winds of magic, so they may end up looking just wizard-like.

Worth noting that he's a wargame character, and these rules apply to the RPG. The wargame doesn't really care about such minutiae. And he doesn't seem "fully armored" either. It's a magical helmet, a breastplate, some greaves.
And I really don't remember anything specific about his armor, sorry. Despite having read some of these books. Applying the aforementioned rules, it can be a case of simply taking the malus to spellcasting for the extra protection, and he's a good enough wizard to take this trade-off.
>Should elves and dragons be bffs like in warhammer?
There is no "should". Both are ancient, magical, power (maybe once) and proud race. Good enough reasons for either being allies or enemies. Depends on the setting, both can be justified.

Mutants & Masterminds. It allows for insane builds, so make sure to do a session 0 to make sure everyone buolds characters that operate in the intended setting.

In a Star Wars game, my gang of goons and I set up a fight pit next to the bar we used as our base of operations, and the GM found not only a way to balance something like that for the powerlevels FFG put us at, but also to include the whole party in the matches, even when none of us were competing. Everyone could choose to do something to affect the fight: observe one side's weaknesses, sabotage the fighter they didn't want to win, get the audience cheering for their chosen fighter, etc. and it would give bonuses to one side or the other. When it came time for the dice to fall, the party's efforts heavily affected the outcome.

>>97375504
The audience cheering is a nice touch, not that appropriate in a samurai duel at court maybe, but I can spin it as someone important to the duelists either looking at them approvingly or glaring at them in disappointment.
