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?
>>97215703I've never run or been invited to a game with a 1st party GURPS setting, although Banestorm looks fine for a vaguely historical-inspired fantasy.
>>97215703>Thread question: How often do you use an official GURPS setting? Which are your favorites?I've tried Banestorm and Transhuman Space. Banestorm was fine as a setting, but they hated the default magic system. THS was just overwhelming in terms of how much shit they had to learn.Hoping to try The Madness Dossier in the future.

>>97215703I ran The Moon of Thorns, an adventure from 1shotadventures thst takes place in Tredroy, which is in the Banestorm setting. Tredroy waa very cool, I liked it a lot. Good adventure, too. I also ran a short game about Infinity Patrol agents who got portaled to Yrth (Banestorm again) and needed to get back to Homeline. Unfortunately, that game died pretty quickly. >>97215791>Hoping to try The Madness Dossier in the future.I love the setting but have no idea what I'd actually run in it.
