We need more players for Lady Sara's House of Pain! It's shaping up to be a fun arena game, and we can always use more combatants!

My Xianxia Martial Arts game is now open. You will be new students in the Heavenly Fate Academy, learning to harness your chi to become a true martial artist.

Several House rules are in play which can be viewed before RTJ

Still looking for a few more characters.

Need a medical professional, either a doctor or a nurse, possibly with military experience. (This would put you at the top of the list).

Another possibility is federal law enforcement, FBI or US Marshall.

My guy could have been drafted from a medical school. Not from the last year since he hasn't been drafted into medics, but a doctor-level smarts with a nurse-level training are certainly possible.

Do you want this cross-posted to GitP? There are not many GURPS people in there, but I know 1 (one) man whom I might try to recruit.

Let's hold off on that for now.

Not sure what GitP is? But feel free to recruit.

Hi All, I'm starting a new season of House of Pain if anyone would like some quick, dirty and colorful fighting.

A game about exploring a weird space object that's full of 8-bit video game references and cosmic horror.

125 character points, civilians who are good at or knowledgeable about old video games.

Hey, thanks for having me in the group! The gurps community is quite consolidated, so I thought I would probe interest here, before launching my first pbp game.

I’m thinking of experimenting with a gurps starwars game based on dungeon fantasy rather than hi-tech and etcetera.

I’ll run the campaign under a 125 CP budget, using mostly DF and low-tech books (tl4), and reskinning stuff as to keep the spirit of the series alive (rough example, ships = spaceships).

I play gurps, and I’ve already played the d20 versions of starwars, and other homebrewed iterations (such as psi wars).

I’ll preferably be running the game here on rpol, but that depends on the players gathered.

May the force be with you.

Interesting Idea, I am pretty sure there is already a Star Wars side, though. Would you use Ultratech for regular weapons?

Thanks. The setting is intended to feature TL 4 weapons, such as the Jäger Rifle. Which, following the idea of reskinning, might be conceived as the E11 blaster. Similarly, the armor will be TL4.

Exotic stuff such as lightsabers or beskar armor will be featured as special effects added effects.

Ok, sounds interesting. And Magic, I assume...

After being away for a while and updating my game. The Old Ones Sleep No More (Dark Horror Fantasy) is open for recruitment. Looking for at least 3 players.

Not sure I fit into the horror theme well. I will think about it a bit. How does horror work?

In reply to BlueDwarf (msg # 554):

Less about scaring the players and more about the overall tone of the world. Think Berserk meets Supernatural. Most of the world stopped believing in monsters, but they still exist and still pose a threat. You then have the Church that runs the country doing everything to make sure people still think monsters don't exist, to the point of wiping out towns.

You would play a Hunter, one of the few who knows the truth and managed to live. Maybe you know some incantation magic, or follow the God Gaia and capable of druidic magic, or one of the few touched by Uni capable of casting miracles but not forced into the church or, worse, killed by them, or just a normal person more capable than others.

You work for an Organization that has been battling the darkness for centuries while also trying to free the country from the grasp of the Church. The religion itself is not evil, but the ones that run it are, and the God of the religion does not care as long as you follow its dogma.

The first mission is to investigate Willow Town, figure out what is going to happen and stop it. You will have a few starting clues and people to help. The Church has a presence in town so you will want to be as covert as possible since, if they find out, it would only be a matter of a few days before the inquisition shows up and Willow Town disappears.

Happy new year everybody!

Zoncx whats the CP budget and which would be the skill all must have? Do you have a link to your game?

Both links I posted go to the game where you can view the character creation thread.

Starting up a "humans from earth sent to a fantasy world" portal fantasy game set in Oerth, the Greyhawk DnD setting. link to another game

• Not Dungeon Fantasy
• Character creation isn't front-loaded. Build as we go.
• 125 points.
• Largely rules-as-written
• Scads of downtime between adventures to pursue personal goals
• Don't play yourself
• You can discover you have stuff like Magery, Weapon Mastery, etc that you never had the chance to discover on Earth.

What do you mean by "Not Dungeon Fantasy"?
What should I NOT expect?

Or do you mean, "Not the "new" GURPS DF BOOKS"?

In reply to Siryuu (msg # 559):

I'm not using the Dungeon Fantasy rules. The setting is Greyhawk, but I'm not trying to emulate the DnD playstyle so much as the general mood of finding yourself in a fantasy world of magic and violence. The differences between DnD and GURPS will be emphasized. It's GURPS using the Greyhawk setting and classic DnD modules as inspiration rather than a direct 1:1 conversion.

It will feel and play VERY differently, with more of a focus on what it'd be like to find yourself in the setting, in the presumed role of an adventurer and how that impacts your character.

Questions like:

• How does one cope with being torn away from your life, family, and friends? Is it a blessing? Do you even miss them?
• How do you get blood out of your hair in a world without shampoo or running water, when you're miles underground and you can still hear the war drums?
• Can faith exist in a world where you have definitive proof that the gods are real, and what does that say about what they believe back home?
• You can warp the fundamental forces of the universe with magic, but can you find a decent cup of coffee?

And of course the difference between potential expectations of what it's like to live within the game from someone who's only played it. How "real" Oerth differs from the artistic portrayals of it.

I've got two good character submissions. I'll want one more before I start, so if you're interested I would suggest submitting a character sooner rather than later.
