I think you can use GCA to export to text.  If need be you can add your own tabs and use pre tags when posting to rpol.  I myself have used GCA but it was a long time ago.  I normally just use wordpad and do things by hand.

It would be nice to have GCA sort things by columns, but I don't think that's available as a feature.

However, you can print your character sheet as a PDF and host the PDF somewhere.  It's not editable, but it looks pretty good.  =)

Here's a sample:  https://docs.google.com/open?i...gnd0wQ3B2djN3M3d6QXc

The link doesn't work. But yes I know. I usually tend to do so as well (and use the phoenix sheet option). I just wanted to be able to divide the skills up into a couple of subcategories so they where easier to navigate. It's for some pregenerated chracters who all have over 50 skills. It can be a bit overwhelming to navigate 50 skills to find "the right one" or just to get an idea about what the character can do.

Is there any GCA sheet options that let you divide the skils up into subcategories?

I'm not sure how much GCA has in common with GCS in this regard, but in GCS, you can create "Skill Containers," which then allows you to put skills "into" those containers (you can also create Advantage Containers and Equipment Containers). I've taken to creating Skill Containers such as "Social," "Background," "Combat," "Athletic," etc.

Oops, I fixed the privileges, but it's nothing you haven't seen before, MazVN.

Landwalker, do you prefer GCS over GCA?  I've used GCA and a web-based app, but I don't think I've used GCS before.

I've never used GCA before (because, you know. Money.), but I find that I can get GCS to do pretty much anything I want it to do within reason. If you're running a powers-heavy game it might get a little cumbersome, though—when I was designing my home-built magic-as-power system, it required a lot of finagling and manual cost entry, but I was also asking it to do rather more than it was intended to do. I suspect that with "normal" powers, it could handle those relatively seamlessly, and it's easy to customize most things.

My only real complaint, if you could call it that, is that the default library for GCS (or at least my version), in terms of advantages and disadvantages, but mostly in terms of equipment, is not exhaustive. If it's in Basic, you're fine, and it has pretty good coverage of Martial Arts and Power-Ups 2: Perks, but nothing for High-Tech or Low-Tech (so many guns that require manual entry...).

Additionally, GCS (or, again, my version of it) cannot accommodate the LT hit location system, which forced me to make a lot of notes in the equipment section of sheets to detail exactly which armor pieces were doing what, and how. I don't know if this is a feature that GCA offers, though.

GURPS Rifts. Yay? Nay? Meh? 250 points, probably, so some of the more outre sorts of OCC wouldn't be do-able, but I wouldn't be restricting players to Templates or trying to recreate the rules in GURPS. Just using some of the background fluff.

Definately!

Idea One: Deadboys go rogue. PCs are a squad of Coalition soldiers who, for whatever reason, abandon their duties and go AWOL.

GURPS Torg could also work really well. What do you all think? GURPS Rifts or GURPS Torg?

Torg is unfamiliar to me. I'm for AWOL coalition soldiers ;-)

I spoke a tad prematurely; apparently I sold all my Rifts books on ebay a few years ago and forgot about it.

I'd still like to run some kind of sci-fi high tech campaign. Cyberpunk?

Well this sucks.. I just read that Silveroak was banned =|  From what I could discern, he basically spent his life here and ran some very dedicated games.  I would've even partaken if not for his befuddling typing skills.

Yeah, to be honest that was really hard to get around.

The guy I'm wondering about is kurlumbenus.  Anyone know what happened to him?  He shows up in the Chamber of Lost Souls, but that ban dates from before I played with him.

I knew that Kurly was banned, but I'm not sure what for. In the Chamber, he's listed as having duplicate accounts, but that's from 2008 and I know for a fact he's been around since then. I couldn't find anything on his "final offense," but given his... nature... it's not surprising that he eventually crossed a line somewhere.

His nature?

Thats not really ground for banning is it? because then I think a lot more people would get banned ;)

I didn't know him, so can't say or even guess why.

The Chamber states that Silveroak was banned for making litigious threats against the moderators, which had been previously established as a big no-no for anyone with any interest in continuing their presence on the site. I'm not sure what the details of the situation are, but there it is.

Edit: Nice try, Tortuga. I'm on to you!

^ shakes fist!



I dimly remember that. I think he had some comments moderated or something relatively minor, and flipped out about it. I was in a game with him at the time.

I'm asking as I already had a sort of brush´in with the mod. as I for the first time, started an Adult game and they didn't agree that the players had made the proper statement of age (which I thought they had by simply stating age and country).

Anyway, it came down to a discussion about them referring to the FAQ as "the rules" and me arguing that a FAQ can't be refereed as rules in the sense that you must read a FAQ before posting on a board (or running a game in this case). And then again a short time after confusion over uploading of avatar-pictures where one guide say one thing but it was expected that you had read the FAQ on it.

Anyway some of the things the moderators focus heavily on, confuse me slightly. So its always good to know on what grounds people get banned. So as not to make the same mistakes.

Threatening to sue will get you banned.

I had 1 language warning because I don't always censor myself. I like F bombs, S Bombs, GD bombs and a few other bombs that don't have anything to do with Ordinance.

the Discworld Zombie Edna Coates* is looking for an Ankh Morpork Police Proceedural game. Her only requirement is enough points to buy Injury Tolerance (Unliving; Independent Body Parts (with Nuisance Detachment at whatever value the GM thinks it is worth))...

*Yes, she was related to Ned Coats but she lived, and... er, died after the Glorious 25th of May.
