The world is young. Great creatures still roam, and wild tribes cover the landscape dotted in the trees and mountains, some wielding strange powers. Civilization has been growing though, and for the last thousand years since scholars learn't to write, the Island of Eden has been a fertile birthplace of civilization, with crops, walled cities and all sorts of developments. Miners delve into the mountains to find rich ores, or trade with the dwarves for smelted metals. Elves guard the forests, but also tame the wild animals. The Southern Islanders build boats to tame the seas, and travel off to explore exotic locations. Indeed, the Tyrone Dynasty that has overseen all of this had done well.

But they have become fraught with problems. Years of inbreeding in the royal family has resulted in an ever decreasing level of sanity with each generation.  Priests try to help, but it is questionable whether it is the monarchy or themselves or the monarchy, and some even blame them for what is happening. Wild tribes with terrible beasts also eye the kingdoms wealth jealously, and rumors of necromancers with armies of undead from the desert wastes abound. The people seek leadership from someone, but nobles squabble and fight among themselves. Can you provide it, or will you be the scourge that ends the monarchy?

The game is set upon a small island nation in TL3 fantasy setting. It uses the Basic GURPs books, Low Tech (including companions), Magic and Dungeon Fantasy books (The original DF series for 4th ed). Other books can be considered on a case by case basis.

Twenty years ago something dark happened to you and your family. Something beyond the standard familial misfortune. A supernatural darkness whose ripples have shaped who you are, who you've become, who you pretend not to be. Something that left its stain on your blood and bones.

You were just kids then. Maybe that protected you. Maybe that made it worse. Whatever. Now, it's back.

Runs in the Family is a supernatural horror game in which the players are the grown-up children of a family marked by evil. Now, as adults, they're tasked to confront the darkness they thought they left behind. This will entail investigation into the unknown, dealing with unsavory and unnatural sorts, and possibly a bit of terrified combat. The game is run in GURPS 4th edition and designed for three to five players.

What's the event that seared itself into your psyche? We'll decide that, collectively, along with the details of who and what your family was.

Inspired by Netflix's Haunting of Hill House, IT, Stranger Things, Frailty, Call of Cthulhu, Kult, Chill, Fright Night, Salem's Lot, etc.

(I've got 3 RTJs so far. I'll give it another 12-24 hours before selecting players. No character sheets are needed at this time.)

In Don't Hate the Players a small group of gamers find themselves hurtled through time and space from one role-playing scenario to another, trying to survive, thrive, and figure out the rules governing their chaotic new existence. One day they might find themselves tracking monsters in 1920s rural America, while they next they're creeping through foul dungeons looking for fortune and glory.

Behind the scenes, the GM will be adapting various old published RPG modules to GURPS - some with a twist, some straight up. The roleplaying focus will be on the development of the characters - both as they become more competent, and as the realities of a life of constant violence and danger wears on them.

The less adventure-ready your character is, the better. link to another game

I'm hoping to get more players for my Isle of the Three Sisters game. Once the current story arc is complete the game ends up more of a survival/exploration game.
