A GURPS Discworld game would be great fun.  =)

This would really be the wrong time to start something The Walking Dead-esque, wouldn't it?

Pee Kitty's Post-Apoc books are on the way, and Kromm is writing GURPS Zombies ...

It's clearly the wrong time!

And I'm already running a game ...

Oh, the itch!

Do eeeet.

You're no help at all! ;-)

C'mooooooonnnnn

I don't like the development of the newly deceased simply reanimating.  It's nonsensical.  28 Days later style makes the most sense biologically.

Why do I suddenly feel like I caught in an "episode" of "Texts from Dog"? (btw - if you don't know about that one already, google it. You'll die. Laughing. Very appropriate for this little debate).

Sensemaking and Zombies?

Well, the scene from TWD in the CDC facility where they showed a video of an animation in progress made it feel perfectly sensible ...

... or something. IMHE Sense is sometimes overrated ;-).

I find it perfectly sensible that the people caught in a zombie uprising may never even find out just why the zombies got up and started ambling around.

A zombie/Walking Dead game would be loads of fun.  =)

I like the infected and overtaken angle, not the walking undead angle.  That's just my viewpoint.  ...And 'sprinters' scare me shitless, for the shat hath already been given at the thought of nay but ONE sprinter :P

@Mick: STOP IT!

;-)

Just to further illustrate my brittle state, take a look here: link to another game

Would that be interesting? Not saying that I'm doing it, though ... not now anyways.

That would be interesting.

You'd need to figure a way to give out survival skills quickly though, most realist characters wouldn't have any.

A few examples of the kind of average people you want would also be helpful.

Sooo... if anyone's up for playing around with 4th edition conversion I've got a Edna built for a 125 point game with a few points in reserve.

what's an Edna

"a Edna" is me failing to delete the complete phrase "a character" in reference to the above quote.

Sorry for the confusion.

In reply to The_Wrathchild (msg # 61):

You do not have time for any more games! Not that I RTJ the zombie-game or anything O:)

OK - let's guage the ACTUAL interest, as in who'll actually RTJ ...

Maz would, evidently ;-)

And no, it'd still not be right now - mayhap in a month or two. Go to the link above  and let your RTJ's do the talkin'

Is there sufficient interest for a GURPS/Cyberpunk 2020 sort of game?

I want to run some kind of contemporary or future GURPS game. One of the following:

1. Cyberpunk. Probably borrowing heavily from Cyberpunk2020.PCs are street operatives, working and hustling, selling their talents as troubleshooters to the highest bidder. 200 points,

2. GURPS Monster Hunters. The players are convicted felons given the chance to avoid death row or life sentences if they work as a paramilitary squad hunting down and eliminating monsters for the Man. 400 points; GURPS Monster Hunters 1 required for the templates.

3. Space. Aliens offered humanity the chance to join stellar society; the governments refused. Those who disagree have been paying to have themselves smuggled into space. The players are normal folks who've decided to take their chances leaving Earth behind. 150 points.

Any interest? Preferences?

In reply to Tortuga (msg # 69):

I'd be interested in 1) or 3). Characters over 250pts outside of a DF game don't really have any interest for me.

Monster Hunters would be most likely to draw me in ...

I'd be interested in the cyberpunk game!

... which of course sounds good as well :-). Let's go get it on!

Posted this: link to a message in another game to the game proposal board, but since GURPS is one of the proposed systems I thought I'd drop notice here too and see what you all thought of the idea. I'd honestly prefer GURPS but I'll go with something else if I don't get the interest I need.

Warning: This will be one of those low-power low-fantasy stat-normalization sorts of games. ;)

Sounds interesting.
