I'm generally forever DM, and if I was handed that fucking slop I'd take it as a personal slight. We're not insulting his character concept or ideas, we're insulting him because he felt the need to make every aspect of it through AI, and the fact that he "apologized" for the art but not the terribly prompted backstory. He's deserving of all the ridicule.
>he met Mira Voss, a human physician whose laughter could warm even the cold stones of Ravengro
Like come on dude, what the fuck is this shit LOL. There's no excuse to be this fucking lazy, I don't care if you're ESL or partially braindead or have an extra chromosome, put a little effort in and express yourself without relying on AI.

They butchered consume thrall but everything else is (mostly) upgrades. I’m conflicted.

https://knowdirectionpodcast.com/2026/06/investing-in-the-necromancer-part-1/
For context, here's the post.
Yeah, mostly upgrades. Though meh on the Reaper Fatal Method, the Osteo Armaments boost helps. I would prefer at least Warpriest or Alchemist scaling but ehhh. The Consume Thrall change would hurt more if they didn't already have 2 focus points to start with, so I'm find with it ending up more an emergency button than a key part of the rotation.

I appreciate Necromancer showcasing they FINALLY understand that a class is allowed to cheat the system. I actually really love the Harm boosts it can do, being able to nuke a field and heal teammates gives it an extreme level of offensive support. Especially for an INT class. I am also laughing at Blood Necros being called Sanguimancers, they aren't even pretending that archetype was worth the paper it was printed on.. In all, excited.

My basecoat is in Sunbloom Gray, and for the highlights I'm using Trannypus green. I use glazes of Freako, and a mix of Neutronium and Seabottom Black. For the glow on the weapon I'm using Prussian Ass and Titanium White. And I'll drybrush with Flibdobbitydoo. For the base I'll use Niacin Organello, and some PVS glue to hold it all together.

Supposedly coming as a separate subfaction a few years down the line. The poles making the Starcraft minis game have said they intend to make all the Starcraft 2 co-op commanders into subfactions for their respective races, so Arcturus Mengsk will be a commissar type leader for his army of not-guard.

Nta but the the initial stage is just to get it out of the barrel before the gyrojet fires, this is why regular schlubs can still use bolters without having to control the recoil of what would otherwise be gigantic 40mm pistol rounds that would do more than just hurt your wrist. The pressure waves would pulp you with a barrel that short, it would melt in vacuum and not function at all under water. I'm pretty sure bolter rounds are even directly referred to as gyrojets in some of the codexes.

It was WFRP 2e
It's quite fun, but has a randomized character creation as many systems often do. Unfortunately for that character I rolled near the max for every single stat and it just completely fucked the game up.
I'm not really a fan of random character creation, I see a lot of GMs like it as a tool to avoid overly optimized characters, but in practice someone can just roll an overly optimized character worse than what a point-buy would give them. Or ofc roll complete dogshit and end up with a useless character.

Looks like the Grandfey Helm and Armor match the idols of Casque and Polli in color and design, and the idols seem modeled after spiked gauntlets and some kind of greaves. Together, the four pretty much make a full set, no? Seems like it alludes to yet another form of ascension.

Yes, the thing is, if you ask too many questions, some of the answers will end being conflicting between each others because of the random nature of oracles. The main thing is always "Follow your expectations" (Had you seen PICREL?). Solo playing is more like daydreaming but with extra tools, but the extra tools should not surpass the daydreaming. You just got to find your own style/flow, I guess.

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.

GURPS Basic Set 4th Edition Revised is supposed to come out on July 31st 2026.

Feels like there is less room for debate because IQ is generally agreed to be the best value attribute unless you're running a very hack-and-slash (or shoot-em-up) game. Even in combat heavy genres, psis and mages can be very competitive if they invest heavily in IQ. Magery 2 and IQ 20 is a superb foundation for a highly efficient mage.
>>
>>98212300
Just GCS, pretty much. I generally don't like halting a game to find a rule, particularly if it's not a life or death matter or a BBEG or whatever, so if I'm ever in that situation where I don't know a rule offhand I just do what makes the most sense given how GURPS works otherwise.
>>
>>98212300
>My players know more about GURPS than I do. Sometimes they reference shit and I don't know where it is so I have to search it up.
Since not all GURPS rules are compatible with all campaign types to begin with, it's often a good idea to start a game with "we're only using these rules" or at least "we're only using these books." Limits your workload and helps nip shit like that in the bud. If a player wants a special rule to be included, they can bring it up beforehand with a source and you can yea/nay it well before it being sprung on you at a climactic moment.

I used to DM D&D3.5 games back in high school and was similarly blindsided by players relying on "creative" rules interpretations or busted character options from some obscure OGL book and not telling me about it until the moment it was relevant (and often critical to their immediate survival, which forced a snap decision with no good answer). That was when I learned that you sometimes need to force players into remembering that everyone's playing a cooperative game of pretend and that keeping secret plans from the GM can often fucking suck.

>>98219281
It's not as much of an issue in GURPS since you can't really turn up with something really busted that you couldn't make with the BS rules

Call for playtesters for GURPS Armor Design is on the SJG forum. Looks like it will be a true autism-friendly build system. Anyone familiar with the old Vehicles/Mecha/Robots rules is suggested as a good fit. Obviously engineers, re-enactors, and those with a military/LE background would be helpful too.
