Previous thread: >>96735244GURPS 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 (follow the URL to get to a folder with some files, read the files to get to the archive). 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: Is Reach important or is it all about how you use it?
>>96804385Superhero games are one of those campaigns where the starting point total shouldn't be set in stone.If your character concept is a super martial artist fighting with fists alone, the GM should just let you buy high levels of Fist! and enough Striking ST (or plain ST) to put you on the same level as the blaster buying Innate Attack.
>>96804877I understand that the average supehero game in GURPS just has everyone remain static and just make a character sheet to fit the concept, but the kind of Superhero game I'm in, the characters will grow over time (as in, get character points to spend), thus point costs still need to be somewhat balanced between the party.
>>96804844Yeah, I agree. It was really annoying having to jump through hoops to get a simple buff spell.Like just "+1 to attack rolls and damage rolls" requires some ridiculous rules wrangling involving follow-up universal and wildcard skills turned into advantages or aspected (combat only) DX
>>96804311I remember having a similar issue trying to figure out how to make modified ammunition using Meta Tech, because it seemed like you had to model the whole gun rather than just a bullet to add some effect.Going by PU4, which specifically brings this up, you have to buy the damage you'd be giving your gun, but stuff like increasing RoF is differential.>Kaytee's campaign uses the detailed guns from HT. She has a SCAR-L rifle that does 4d+2 pi. However, Kaytee can boost the damage and damage type to 5d(0.5) pi+ by using HP+P ammo. Large Piercing Attack 5d costs 30 points. (The Armor Divisor(0.5) does not affect these rules.) She wants to boost its RoF from 9 to 30, so she can empty an entire magazine in one second. RoF 9 is with in the "8-15" band for Rapid Fire, but it’s not the upper end of that band. Thus, the SCAR-L is treated as having Rapid Fire at th e +70% level. She wants to buy it up to Rapid Fire 30 (+150%), a difference of +80%. This costs 30 x 0.80, or 24 points.This is because it's meant to be used on one specific weapon, and I suppose the issue generalizing is that different damage types cost different amounts of points, so while +1d pi would be a 5 point power, on a pi+ weapon it'd be 6 points.In fact, PU4 specifically points out that if you start having access to stuff like hollow-point ammo that changes the damage type, you should recalculate the point cost of the power.>>96804844Each +1 damage is +0.3 dice, partial dice are on B62.

I love unarmed melee fighter concepts. What traditional game has your favorite unarmed combat? Ever played a memorable fist fighter character?
only tangentially related but this thread gave me a sudden idea:in what games might it be viable to take the Fiorepill, and make a build that turns swordfighting into grappling?
>>96804150Who are you talking to?
>>96804196Or good games, where method of attack is rules, and unarmed combat is balanced and viable relative to every other option.

>>96727054I have a Mexican cartel that distributes dangerous superpower-inducing drugs
>>96727054I have a Mutant Italian-American Xavier School Dropout called Gino Genovesse who's Breaking Bad with MGH in the X-Men 97 universe. GM let me take DNA Manipulation via a Trait as a Narrative Power along with their Meta Power, Healing, & Telepathy Skills in Marvel Multiverse TTRPG. He can scan people's genes at a distance via biokinesis/telepathy, copy/suppress their powers, and can later create artificial serums of their MGH to give people copies of said powers temporarily. At first he started off as a Kid Mr. Sinister wannabee but has become a Villian Protagonist working with other dropout/excommunicado Xavier School Mutants to become the major tech, drug, and medical providers for various Marvel criminals and mercenaries while dealing with a handul of heroes on occassion.
>>96801116Yeah, it wasn't specific to him. If you have an idea for a hero that already exists, just play that hero.

>>96804405The masonic "novus ordo seclorum" phrase in the dollar bill is an allusion to the Age of Saturn, a golden age of primtiive communism, egalitarianism and abundance. Jews historically believed the planet Saturn (Shabbatai in Hebrew) had astrological influence on them. And they celebrate their holy day of Sabaath on Ssaturdya. Their goal is tikkun olam; t o repaair the world by returning it to the original, utopian state before the fall of man, recreate the garden of Eden, the messianic era.The Saturn cult seeks to create a communist utopia on Earth in which the spiritually enlightened, the "philosophical elect" will rule and guide the masses in a worldwide government. This requires abolishing hierarchies, the family unit, nationalities and capitalism.
>>96804604This is the reason why the US was created; to usher in the new era of mankind (See MPH' Secret Destiny of America). If you google "new world order" you'll see it alludes to a communist world government.

Well all had a player like that>Ok, I would like my prosthetic hand to include a retractable blade!>AND a hidden gun!>AND the fingers can turn into tools!>AND I want to cover it with runes so that I can cast from itHere's the thing: I LOVE that kind of creativity and engagement from my players.I definitely don’t want to shoot those ideas down, but giving them a small rules framework can go a long way toward keeping things balanced and genre-consistent.Are there any systems I could borrow ideas from, to handle this sort of thing? Has anyone here tried house-ruling stuff like that?
>>96796824>Are there any systems I could borrow ideas from, to handle this sort of thing? Barbarians of Lemuria/Honor+Intrigue have a subsystem for crafting and alchemy that's alright. WFRP 2e's Children of the Horned Rat, too, but it's VERY skaven-tied.

I remember playing 1e back in the day and wondered if 2nd edition is worth anything?
I always see people say 2e is good, but am I crazy or is it the most unclear shitty version of Storypath they've done?I feel like when I look at a gift/power/whatever the psi stuff is called in aeon, I can immediately see how having it makes you more powerful and competent than someone without it. In Scion 2e the powers will be like, Fire: Imbue legend for the scene, you can make ranged attacks.A ton of the abilities just say they give other people complications with zero elaboration on what the complications might do.IDK it feels so handwavy. I wish they'd do a 2.5 with Storypath Ultra, as it feels like they've at least learned that rules need to be clear and abilities that you pay points for should let you do something that other people can't.
>>96783118Not them, but thanks. Do you have any more Scion images that you are willing to share here please?
>>96799001They're just ones I made on the spot to provide a direct source for things
>>96799355Fair enough. Who is your favorite Titan, BTW?
>>96796202>or is it the most unclear shitty version of Storypath they've done?What are some better versions of Storypath then?
Sorry for not going to the generals, but they're edition specific and this is about D&D as a whole.Is there any place that has a comprehensive list of the races and monsters of the various settings and editions that lists their real world origins, like if they're from real mythology and folklore like elves and dwarves or made up for the game like beholders? All the wikis I can find seem to be mostly in-game information and bibliographies of the sourcebooks.
>>96805984The real world origin of the rust monster is a plastic chink toy "dinosaur" that TSR plagiarized 1:1.
There are a couple of threads on Dragonsfoot or K&K, can't remember for sure, but I think the former) that go into the origins of the critters in MM and MMII. If no one points them out, I'll check later today or tomorrow.
>>96806012Yeah, I heard about that. I think it was a Chinese or Korean bootleg of something from Ultraman or some other Japanese kaiju thing. I know the Umber Hulk is the beetle guy from the episode where it turns out Noah from the Bible was one of Ultraman's previous human hosts. It was a very silly show.
>DM: This is going to be a high lethality game. Don't get too attached to your characters.ME: I understand. I would still like to play.>*Time passes* Your character has died, Anon.Okay. I'll start rolling up the next one.>Very well. I will move on with the storyline.I'm done now.>I won't be able to introduce your new character into the storyline until later.Okay *pulls out phone*>WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING I SAID NO PHONES AT THE TABLE ARAGABABALAUGHOA!!!!I'm out of this game. Peace.
>>96798461Like I said LGBT issues are not what I was talking about. You could argue that depression and anxiety are higher in the alphabet mafia members but again that’s a seperate issue to the general population.>>96798540Yes I’m sure all of that is relevant. Just like the points I made. Our society is regressing which is ironic given it’s the so called progressives behind so much of the decline.
>>96799989Terrible, just awful. What is wrong with you people?
>>96778853>No phones at the table is a perfectly reasonable rule.>We're here to game and socializeThe person in question isn't playing though. He's waiting for his chance to start playing.Watching other people play is not fun if you don't get to play with them. You should remember this from childhood.
>>96804359
>>96805471If someone did that at my table, I'd just allow them but not say anything directly to them until the game's over. It's their choice to pay attention or not, and if this is what they do the moment they don't feel they're getting enough attention, well then they made their choice.
I never understood why or even how people play at conventions. Let me see if I get this straight:> loud environment> people you don't even know> narrow timeframe> people snooping on what you're doingAgain not an attack against those who do, but it doesn't sound like something appealing at all
>>96804784> loud environmentLess of an issue than you think when everyone is less than 3 feet away from you. Even less of an issue when the event is hosted in a conference room.> people you don't even knowAnd all of them are on their best behavior because they don't know you either. In some cases, this is how you make new friends.> narrow timeframeAlso less of an issue than you think. Everyone knows they have a specific amount of time to play, so they don't fuck around, they don't around with the GM, they don't waste time. And unless you're doing some kind of tournament play for prizes, you're not going to deal with a lot of rules lawyering either> people snooping on what you're doingYou are playing a game. What does it matter that people at a con can see that you, also at a con, are playing a game in a room full of people playing a game?
I dunno, my brother and I are able to have fun. I like how ruthlessly efficient the DMs and Players are, which means you can get a lot of things done quickly.
>>96804894Yeah, normies and casual retards like...Gary Gygax, who designed most early modules specifically for convention play. Fuck off and kill yourself, you retarded tourist faggot.
I am not autistic so I am okay in meeting and socializing with new people.

>>96800559Has it? That’s pretty dope. Been meaning to try the new stuff.
man, going back to add the new cards into justimon painfully reminds why i stopped playing the deck every time i see "place a device" instead of "play a device" i want to diegod forbid i get +2k and reboot/blocker for free whilst the opposing renamon deck runs through 3 generic yellows options for 0 cost every turn

What’s the coolest magic system in a game you’ve ever come across
>>96800475>Challenge dice, however, have more failure chances than your beneficial trait dice have successThe opposite.Green ability dice have 5 success on 4 sides while purple difficulty dice have 4 failures on 3 sides.Additionally blue boost dice have 4 advantages while black setback dice have 2 threats.Only red challenge dice and yellow proficiency dice are symmetrical.And when you add doodads to your spell, you increase difficulty, not upgrade it, so you add purple dice, not red ones to the pool.
>>96797290my own.>save vs spells to keep the spell.>no spell slots.>regain spells if at correct spot during solar eclipse.
>>96797290I more or less like BoL's 'make it up as you go' approach to spells. Arcane points and spell difficulty act as a brake on OP shit along with Flaws for delving too deep into magic. Not perfect, but quite functional.
>>9679729040k psychic powers and systems that make the 'cost' of magic be it's unpredictability.But 40k in particular since most powers do things that have basically no overlap with other class abilities while being powerful.
>>96797290Necromancy in Ironclaw. Mostly spells are "mana in, magic out" and you roll some dice to compare successes. Necromancy however rolls a shitton of dice, and those opposing it get to roll huge pools of multiple attributes too. But if anyone has three 6s show up on their results? Success or failure, bad shit happens. Necromacer loses control of a spell or gets possessed by a dark power; priest trying to break a curse gets cursed too; hero fending off a flesh rotting spell instantly becomes an undead slave, etc.
