This is a general thread for posting resources regarding GURPS. I’ll get started with some of the basics:

GURPS Lite 3e (PDF) -- the simplest, and most essential resource for playing by the Third Edition rules, without having to buy any of the old books.

GURPS Lite 4e -- as above, but for the Fourth Edition rules.

GURPS 3e to 4e Conversion (PDF) -- A simple PDF that helps convert your Third Edition characters to Fourth Edition rules.

GURPS Errata -- the official page that links the errata for all GURPS books, both 4e and 3e. You'll have to scroll down a bit to get the links, though.

And next, who could forget the Krommnotes? A lovely and expansive collection of ruling and nuances for third edition GURPS.

There's also a somewhat elusive Fourth Edition Krommnotes out there, but I haven't explored it too much, personally.

Note that I play 3E, so if it makes a difference all of references are for that edition, although there may be the same available for 4E. I wouldn't know, though. :) Edit: That was years ago... I do play 4E now, but these refs are still 3E. Pretty much useless for 4E, although there is a separate 4E Lite document available.

I have been considering running a very high powered supers game in GURPS 4e- the basic concept is 'the god's return' *not* in the style of the Lightning Thief, but rather the idea that there is some cycle of cosmic energy which left the deities of old essentially high powered supers, dormant or mortal until it resurged. Durring the interim the DNA for powers has spread more or less at random through the human population, so along with the reawakening of such classic figures as Odin and Herne new supers (the PC's) are awakening to their powers.
Wondering how much interest there would be in this game and what point level would generate the most interest: I'm currently considering 1,000 points, 2,000 points, or something higher.

As long as I get to spend half on wealth.

As long as you put enough points in powers that give you access to unearthy resources, sure. You can't own that much in the stock market or real estate in this world though.

can't seem to find any decent GURPS sheets for use on the heaven forum, do you guys think maybe we could start a GURPS Sheet section?

How do you want it, I can send you a PDF or text or something, maybe. Do you have GCA? You can make real nice ones in that, and post them here as an image.

I've got plenty of PDF and Word doc files that don't translate well to this forum... basically anything you could write up in this text box here and it looks the same coming out as it did going in (more or less) and that would be great!

Note that you have to add <pre> tags around the sheet or the spacing obviously doesn't work.

It's easily adjusted to taste according to the campaign.

Yup.  LW's sheet is Post #27 under Character Sheets in Heaven.

Thaks, would have taken me a few days, things are insane at work. Watch the news tomorrow morning for the Chevy Volt, and recall that all of the power for the lights, cameras, and probably even the action, was run by me & my co-worker.

i like that one better

You know how to make whatever sheet you print, show up on RPoL?

Get a PDF print driver. Print it as you like to see it in a PDf file. Copy each page with the snapshot tool (size matters here- copy it 'fit to width' size, and scroll off the screen to get the whole page if you need to). Paste that, into an image program (I use paint that ships w/ windows, cheap and works fine). Save as an image, I prefer PNG because the text comes out clearer than a JPG. Upload image to server (I use photobucket, others swear by imageshack). Use HTML IMG tag to post on RPoL. Viola! Beautiful sheets. Anything you can print, you can post here that way. If you use the GM's image hosting account (like my photobucket, for example) the players cannot change the image, either. A little work, especially if you have to input it into something like GCA ITFP, but if your players have GCA, they can send you the file.

that's actually the opposite of what I would want...

Then let the players store the image on their own account. It's not unheard of for the GM to require players to help with the mundane record keeping. ;)

A player in one of my games used a GURPS 4 sheet from Myth-Weavers.  It's pretty nice, but it's non-native to RPOL, and as a GM, I can't directly modify it unless I have an account at MW and he adds me as an editor.  It would be nice to have something like that on RPOL as well, but with Jase's stated policy of being system-agnostic, I don't think it would be implemented.

But if you don't mind not being able to personally alter the sheet and give your player complete control over it, I guess it works.

Here's what the sheet looks like:  http://www.myth-weavers.com/sh...w.php?sheetid=311244

Well aint that pretty?

I came across this Android GURPS app today:  https://play.google.com/store/...Calculator&hl=en

And here's an iOS app for hex maps:  http://itunes.apple.com/us/app...pro/id505766102?mt=8

And its free version:  http://itunes.apple.com/us/app...map/id482415358?mt=8

Does anyone have a good site for science-fiction maps that are usable in MapTool?

Like what, starmaps?

Space station maps, installation maps, that kind of thing.

In reply to Mad Mick (msg # 23):

Here are some: http://rpgmapshare.com/index.p...ery&g2_itemId=66
I think I have also found some here before: http://www.cartographersguild.com/forum.php
This here is almost exclusively fantasy or fantasy-like. But sometimes you just need minor modification to use them as sci-fi maps: http://www.educatedgamer.net/gallery/index.php?cat=5


But I tend to end up making my own using stuff from here: http://www.cgtextures.com/ as textures and adding objects from the page I linked above: http://rpgmapshare.com/index.p...y&g2_itemId=1802

It takes long than a ready made map, but then it also fits my needs exactly.

Nice, SpaceKing!

Are there any resources available which break down various diseases into GURPS rules?


In a game I've started running, one of the main enemies is a cult dedicated to a demon lord of disease and filth.  I'm aware of and understand the rules for diseased in GURPS; it would simply be nice to have a few examples to look at to help gauge whether some of the ideas I have are too harsh or possibly not harsh enough.

Bio-Tech has a few, but mostly just the nasty ones (Anthrax, Ebola, Black Death, Influenza).

EDIT: pp. 113-114

There was some talk about it on the sjg-board at some point but, all I could find was this: http://forums.sjgames.com/show...p;highlight=diseases

:\

Thanks; that's actually pretty helpful.  I can post what I currently have for a challenge the group will be facing.  The format is somewhat rough for the time being; it's something I quickly sketched out in my notes for a disease created by the cult.  It is named after the cult member who cooked it up.  I'd appreciate some feedback.  The progression of the disease is very rapid, but that's somewhat intentional; it's meant to be a biological weapon produce by a cult dedicated to a demon lord of filth and disease.


Stench of Fecus
Easily visible Symptoms - The whites of an infected individual's eyes will begin to turn to a brownish color.  The further along the disease progresses, the more the change occurs.  Those in the final stages have eyes (the entire eye) which appear to be a solid brown color.  They also move in a manner which is sluggish; shambling in an almost zombie-like manner.

Blood Agent - The disease can be contracted either by contact with an infected's blood or by having the disease (via a weapon coated with it) come into contact with your blood.  If you've only touched the blood of an infected, the roll to resist is HT-2.  If the disease comes into contact with your blood or you have a wound exposed to it, the roll to resist is HT-4.  If you've ingested the disease or diseased blood, you are treated as having failed your first roll (see below) against the disease, and the second roll will occur in 3 hours rather than 6.

Secret Lore - ingesting Cardamom boiled into water slows the progress of the disease and doubles the time between each roll.  Doing this also allows someone who has ingested diseased blood to make a HT roll to resist rather than suffering an automatic failure on the first roll.


1) After 10 seconds; HT-4 roll.
Success at this point resists the disease; you are not infected.
Failure causes you to lose 2 FP which cannot be recovered until cured.

2) After 6 hours; HT-4 roll.
Success - disease does not progress... yet
Failure - Lose 2 Basic Speed which cannot be recovered until cured.

3) 12 Hours after progressing to step 2 (above); HT-4 roll
Success - disease does not progress... yet
Failure - Stench: You begin to smell like a cross between rotting meat and sun baked sewage.  The game effects of this are that you acquire a reaction penalty equal to your margin of failure.  Other creatures get a bonus to perception checks against you equal to your reaction penalty.

4) 24 hours after progressing to step 3 (above); HT-4 roll
Success - as above
Failure - You acquire the Decreased Time Rate disadvantage.  Also, your stench increases; add your margin of failure from this roll to the reaction penalty associated with step 3.

5) One week after progessing to step 4 (above); HT-4 roll
Success - as above
Failure - Lose 1d6 fatigue

6) Each addition week after progressing to step 5 (above); HT-4 roll
Success - no FP loss this week
Failure - Lose 1d6+(number of weeks) FP.

This popped up on my tumblr. Seems like a nice resources for any investigation game: http://dailyinfographic.com/bloody-mess-infographic

"...this infographic breaks down what bloodstain pattern analysis (BPA) entails and how it works"

I'm using a program to help generate hex grids that I can print out.  I seem to be having a brainfart, so I'm hoping someone can help me out.

How large does each side of the hex need to be in order to get 1" hexes?

If the distance from the center of one hex to that of it's adjacent hexes (the ones that share sides) is 1 inch, the sides will be 1 over the square root of 3 (0.577) inch.

If you are measuring to the hexes that share a vertex but not a side, the sides are 1/2 inch.

I tried to do 1/2 inch sides using a website which generated pdfs of hex graphs, but it didn't come out quite right.  The hexes were too small to accomadate a mini base.

I'll try the .577 measurement; that seems consistent with what I've been playing around with so far.  The last batch I tried was 0.56, and it was close, but not quite right.

If you can use more specific figures, the actual number is 1 divided by the square-root of 3.

Hey I just figured people here would like to know this.

The e-mail list for Gurps Character Sheet came back to life today.  Turns out the creator's spam filter had started blocking the e-mails and he just figured people had stopped playing GURPS

http://gurpscharactersheet.com

Anyway, he explained that he had to lock down the wiki due to a massive spam attack.  But now he has it re-enabled but with the vast majority of registered users ending up getting deleted.  If you were registered before, you'll probably have to register again, but the point is that it's once again possible to contribute files. If you've ever had to make custom library items in GCS to suit your campaign and feel like sharing your hard work for all to see and possibly use, that would be the place to do it

I'm honestly surprised to see that there is no links to GCS on this thread, especially when I'm sure I've seen one here in the past.  I find it to be a great resource.

Is there a graceful way (i.e. not just cut and paste pages), to download whole threads? I'd like to remove older adventures but keep them for reference as needed.

In reply to Zarmonic (msg # 37):

So what is your experience with GCS?  I use GCA myself, but would like to know if it is worth suggesting this free option to someone just dipping their toes in GURPS.

In reply to otghand (msg # 39):

I have used it to the exclusion of all other Char sheet generators for well over 10 years. I tried GCA and it was complex and crappy in comparison... my take anyway.

Rich has been very responsive in fixing things (Stuff happens) and making it easy to adapt to peoples worlds ... I use it in a game you play in to apply my specific take on that world. If it has a failing, it is it can take a long time to build or alter a library to fit your concept ... but you can do that.

And it is tied to JAVA ... everyone's favorite Vulnerability hole and problem language.

As Zarmonic pointed out, many folks have posted libraries of their own making, some of which I am sure you'll find interesting.

Looking at the web page there did not seem to be much there, but that might mean I don't understand what I am seeing.

It did not seem that most of the source books were there for instance, no Low Tech, no Magic, Thaumatology, etc.

I've used GCS for all my 4e characters. (I had GCM for 3e, but it died with 3e).

I appreciate the extensive list of skills and spells with prerequisites, the drag-and-drop to add to character sheets, and the ability to write attractive pdf files. It incorporates all of Magic, Martial Arts, and several other books. It lacks good equipment lists, but that may be because I'm still using a version from 2011.01.02. Hopefully they've added more source books since.

I've used GCS, but IIRC it both has few sourcebooks & equipment, and it can't be customized for several of the things I do.

If you don't mind adding your equipment, it might be all right if you don't do anything too weird. I don't think you can build anything with Powers, for instance, but maybe I just don't know how to use it.

You can builld powewrs, but I'm not the guy to tell you how.
If you ask the group, they normally are helpful, as is Rich when he has time to be...

I love GCS. I use it all the time. And you can do quite a lot of customization in terms of building power, equipment, etc.

Highly recommended!

I stand corrected. I do like GCA, mostly because you can do more than a lot. The interface for customizing is a bit clunky when you get into tacks & nails, I admit, but you can do anything with it, that you can do with the rulebooks, and then you can turn off the rules and do even more. The interface is decent & not so clunky for simple custom things, like adding any number of limitations or enhancements to an ability or piece of equipment that already exists, but building your own limits it gets a little out there. By 'you own', I mean things like "____ limit for x%" is already included, it's more esoteric like, "the first 25% of the cost is x, the next 50% is y", so it's not something you need to worry about much, and I think it's the sort of thing GCS might not even be able to do at all. It does flag non-rules builds as well, so you can't fool the GM. It also comes with all of the current books (or at least almost current, I think my latest update included through last summer). There are a ton of fan-created materials as well, including the phoenix character sheet I love, which is fully customizable and the only one I've seen that is. I'm not sure, but I think you can move anything, anywhere, but the main stat blocks and such might be anchored. I like them there and never tried moving them from the default spot.

GCA is also PC only...so as a Mac user, it is GCS for me.

GCA runs under Wine, or if you have a license to Windows under VMware, Parallels, and Virtual Box.  I am a Mac user and run it under Win 7 on VMware.

I don't  use emulators. If I wanted a PC, I'd go buy a PC.

Wine. Is. Not. an Emulator.

I use whatever gets the job done.  As I am fortunate enough to have free (to me) licensed versions of Windows and VMware Fusion I use those.

haha! But just out of curiosity, what is WINE?


Fun times! My sister got one of the student packs that comes with permission to put it on 3 computers so I had a free version of 7 for a while. Then my computer died and I'm stuck on a tablet.

That's what it stands for. Wine Is Not an Emulator. Instead of creating a virtual machine, it translates windows calls on the fly, letting you use the software on your OS machine.

http://www.winehq.org/about/

Being an OS snob is so 1990s.

I knew that


It's this part that gets me. I don't understand why it's not an emulator. It does the things an emulator does (in layman's terms anyway, both emulators, and whatever WINE is run programs from other OSs,) but differently enough that it's not an emulator. I suppose it's a translator then?

Closer, yeah.

An Emulator is like running a version of windows on a virtual machine on top of your normal OS.

WINE just translates Windows function calls into Mac calls (or whatever). This takes up no extra memory and doesn't give you windows-like features.

Guys, let's leave this space for information on resources.  If you'd like to chat about any of the resources, use the Lounge for that.  =)

Sorry, I thought that this was the correct thread.  Not sure what should be discussed here at this point if GCA/GCS are not resources.

I think he was talking about our divergeance into WINE.

I think it's that the Resource thread is supposed to be a listing of resources and not the discussion of those resources. Discussion goes in the lounge.

So this post and the ones above it are in the wrong thread.

Created an output template for GCS that would output something that RPOL's easy tables would recognize.

Should be able to create an html for GCS to read.

Output looks like this:

whoa! that is quite nice!

Very cool, but how do we of the computer inept, use this?

So what file type export from GCS that would feed this?

Export to HTML and open with a browser. I used chrome for this. Copy and paste to your character sheet here at Rpol.

Krusher,
I took the liberty of asking Rich Wilkes, who wrote GCS, if this could be formalized as a GCS output type. Won't happen overnight, but he has been very good about incorporating good ideas. I think this one fits that mold well.

In reply to krusher (msg # 64):

Krusher,
If I open the Character sheet in html... how do I get it into your format?
I think I am missing an important step somewhere.

Ok, here goes....

Step 1:
 Copy the above text and save in your GCS folder as an .HTML file. (e.g Full Character text from GCS.html)

Step 2:
 Click on Edit, Then Preferences, then click the box next to HTML override and choose this new template


Step 3:
 From the File menu, Select Export to HTML
 


Step 4:
 Right click on the HTML you just created and Open with a browser. (e.g. Chrome in this case)
 

Step 5:
 This should open a browser window filled with code. Copy ALL of the code.


Step 6:
 Paste this code into any message or character sheet here at RPoL like this:

Step 6:

Krusher et al,
It works, but I had to remove all the line breaks at the end of each line to make it work on my Mac, using Firefox. Looks really spiffy, Thanks so much.

Ah, yeah the br's are there otherwise it all ends up in one line. Not very helpful.

And on my box, they were not needed... no clue as to why.
My son figured it out for me ... I guess that's why I help him get through college.

I would love to see something this spiffy for GCA.

In reply to otghand (msg # 71):

GCS is free... so no need for GCA ... I found GCA clunky and awkward as well.

GCA is officially supported by SJG and has way more resources.  I find GCA rather easy to use and very, very, flexible and at a very reasonable price point for the amount I use it.  So yeah, there is a need.

OK, Good there are choices then ... I found none of that, and GCS to be far more flexible and useful ... guess that's why we have choices.

GCS is compatible with Linux. There is that.

True, GCA requires Windows or WINE.

Yes, GCS uses JAVA and is platform agnostic.

Yes, JAVA is equally sucky on all platforms. ;>)

Thought you might like to see some GCA Output:

As Tortuga mentioned before, we should probably take this to the Lounge.

Is this thread just for announcing resources, or discussing them?

Well this thread certainly meets that guideline IMHO.

FWIW... GURPS Character Sheet has brought version 4.8 out and it is a great update!

http://gurpscharactersheet.com

Works on Mac, Linux or Windows Box.

Not specifically GURPS, but this city generator has been mentioned a few times in Community Chat: https://d20.pub/resources/amaz...city-map-generators/

Since I use them in all my games I might as well copy paste these GURPS references for everybody's use. Feel free to copy/paste wherever.

Okay, here's a breakdown of what the unarmed combat skills do:

DX: Punching, kicking, grappling, biting, slamming into people.

Brawling (DX/Easy): Punching, kicking, slamming into people, biting. Blackjacks, saps, and other fist-loads. +1 damage at DX+2 level.

Boxing (DX/Average): Punching. Retreating parries get +3 instead of +1. +1 damage at DX+1, +2 at DX+2. Not so good at parrying swung weapons.

Karate (DX/Hard): Punching. Kicking. Retreating parries get +3 instead of +1. +1 damage at DX+1, +2 at DX+2.

Wrestling (DX/Average): Grabbing people. Making or resisting a takedown. Add +1 to effective ST at DX+1, +2 at DX+2.

Judo (DX/Hard): Grabbing people. Throws. Retreating parries get +3 instead of +1.

Sumo (DX/Average): Slamming into people. Grappling. Shoves. Retreating parries get +3 instead of +1. +1 to effective ST at DX+1, +2 at DX+2.

That's the basics. Different martial arts techniques are based on different skills; Arm Lock, for example, can be performed with Wrestling or Judo but not Brawling, Boxing, or Karate.

This list may be information overload, so you're free to ignore it, but from GURPS Martial Arts, here's how the different skills allow different "techniques." You can still attempt any technique even if you haven't put any points in it; defaults are listed. Generally you need to study a particular style to improve that style's techniques.

Technique	      Boxing Brawling Karate   Judo Wrestling  Sumo
Aggressive Parry	-1	-1	-1	-	-	-	do thr-4 against attacking weapon or body part

Wrench Limb		-	-	-	-	-	-	Defaults from ST
Wrench spine		-	-	-	-4	-	-	or default from ST.

Again, if you don't care, ignore this; when you attack someone I'll choose whatever is closest to what you've described.

There are also a ton of weapon-techniques:

Evade			Acrobatics	flip over/tumble under when passing through foe's hex

* Taking an active defense spoils your Aim; if you are injured, make a Will roll or lose your Aim.
** Before or after attack.
† Taking an active defense or being knocked down, injured, distracted etc. requires a Will-3 roll to maintain.
‡ The attacker cannot parry with the hand(s) he used to attack, block if he attacked with his shield or cloak,
or dodge if he kicked. He can use any other defense, but at -2. He cannot retreat.
§ If you attacked using an arm, you cannot use that arm to parry (if the attack involved a fist, elbow, or
weapon) or block (if you used a shield or cloak). If you used any other body part to attack, you cannot dodge.
You can use any other defense, but you cannot retreat.
Deceptive Attack	Target suffers a -1 to active defense for every -2 taken to melee skill (min. skill of
			10), or -1 to Dodge for every -2 taken to ranged skill (min. skill of 10).
Pop-Up Attack (B390)	Ranged attacks only, attacker suffers -2 to hit, no aim possible, may step. Not
			possible with bow or sling
Rapid Strike (B370)	Make two attacks, both at -6, to replace one normal attack. Can target seperate foes.
			Ranged Rapid Strikes if RoF 2+. Half penalty for Weaponmaster or Gunslinger
Riposte (MA124)		Take a penalty to your Parry (min. of 8), not including modifiers. If Parry succeeds
			and you attack using the parrying weapon next turn, apply the same penalty to your foes
			Parry (hand or weapon), Block (shield) or Dodge (non-hand unarmed strike) or half that
			penalty to all other defenses.
Stop Hit (MA108)	Take a Wait Maneuver and declare that you intend to attack. Both roll to hit. Both
			fail, nothing happens. If one hits, the other defends at -1 or -3 if Parry with same
			weapon. If both hit, larger margin of success defends normally, other at penalty above.
			If tied, both have above penalty. Possible with Unbalaced/Unready Weapon.
Spraying Fire (B409)	RoF 5+ weapon may attack multiple targets, must be within 30° angle, engaged in
			succession, +1 Rcl 2nd target +2 Rcl 3rd target and so on. RoF -16 looses 1 shot/yard,

			Riposte or Feint. Does not affect critical chance.

			parry, attack) or leg (dodge or kick), no DR (B357). May use no more than one offensive
			option (Flurry of Blows, Giant Step, Great Lunge, Heroic Charge, Mighty Blows)
   Flurry of Blows	Spend 1 FP per attack to halve the penalty for Rapid Strike to -3 (B370, usually -6, if
			you spend 1 FP you half it to -3)
   Giant Step		Spend 1 FP for one extra step (before or after your attack) during an Attack or
			Defensive Attack.
   Great Lunge
			Spend 1 FP to get the effects of All-Out Attack (Long) without losing defenses
			(incompatible with All-Out Attack, Defensive Attack, Defensive Grip).
   Heroic Charge	Spend 1 FP during a Move and Attack to ignore the skill penalty and cap (except for
			Acrobatic Attack or Flying Attack).
   Mighty Blow		Spend 1 FP per attack to get the All-Out Attack (Strong) damage bonus to an Attack
			without losing defenses.

[1] Attack that misses by 1 hits the torso instead.
[2] Only imp, pi, and tbb attacks can target the eye – and only from the front or sides. Injury over HP/10 blinds the eye. Otherwise, treat as skull [3], but without the extra DR!
[3] The skull gets an extra DR 2. Wounding modifier is ×4. Knockdown rolls are at -10. Critical hits use the Critical Head Blow Table (B556). Exception: These special effects do not apply to tox damage.
[4] Jaw, cheeks, nose, ears, etc. If the target has an open-faced helmet, ignore its DR. Knockdown rolls are at -5. Critical hits use the Critical Head Blow Table (B556). Cor damage gets a ×1.5 wounding modifier, and if it inflicts a major wound, it also blinds one eye (both eyes on damage over full HP). Random attacks from behind hit the skull instead. On front hit, roll 1d. 1 means skull [3] hit if attack is imp, pi, tbb. Otherwise it’s a nose hit [15].
[5] Limb. Reduce the wounding multiplier of large pi, huge pi and imp damage to ×1. Any major wound (loss of over 1/2 HP from one blow) cripples the limb. Damage beyond that threshold is lost. Roll 1d, on a 1 cut, imp, pi, tbb hit vein/artery, see [17]. Cr hits a joint [15]
[6] If holding a shield, double the penalty to hit: -4 for shield arm, -8 for shield hand.
[7] Human males/males of similar species suffer double shock from cr damage, and get -5 to knockdown rolls. Otherwise, treat as a torso hit.
[8] Extremity. Treat as a limb, except that damage over 1/3 HP in one blow inflicts a crippling major wound. Excess damage is still lost. Roll 1d, on a 1 with cr, cut, pi, tbb hits a joint [14].
[9] If rolling randomly, roll 1d: 1-3 is right, 4-6 is left.
[10] Neck and throat. Increase the wounding multiplier of cr and cor attacks to ×1.5, and that of cutting damage to ×2. At the GM’s option, anyone killed by a cutting blow to the neck is decapitated! Roll 1d, on a 1 with cut, imp, pi, tbb hits vein/artery [17], if cr from behind, counts as [16] and gives Quadriplegic. Automatic if dmg > HP from Neck Snap or throw from Head Lock.
[11] Heart, lungs, kidneys, etc. Increase wounding modifier for imp or pi attack to ×3. Increase wounding modifier for tbb attack to ×2. cr is only ×1, if caused shock roll vs. knockdown, -5 if major wound, other attacks cannot target the vitals.
[12] Ear, if cutting max Dmg = HP/4, double HP/4 removes ear which gives -1 Appearance
[13] Jaw, if crushing extra -1 to knockdown
[14] Joints, limb crippeld at HP/3, extremity at HP4, HT roll to recover from crippling -2, miss by 1 hits the limb or extremity not the joint
[15] Nose, only targetable from the front, treat like facehit, HP/4 breaks nose gives major wound and no Sense of Smell/Taste until healed. Cut lops off nose if HP/4×2 (major wound) but knockdown not at -5 for face. Cutting off nose = Appearance -2
[16] Spine, only targetable from behind with cr, cut, imp, pi, tbb. DR3, if shock-penatly roll against knockdown, crippled if dmg = HP which causes automatic knockdown and stunning
[17] Veins and Arteries, only targetable by cut, imp, pi, tbb. Increases wounding modifier plus 0.5, no crippling and no dmg limit, an attack that misses by 1 hits the neck, arm or leg, as appropriate
[18] Roll 1d if cr, imp, pi or tbb. On 1, hit to the vitals [11], cut from behind hits the spine [16]
[19] Like [18] but if major wound you fall down. Until healed you’re Lame(Missing Leg). Can’t stand, fight sitting or lying. Armor for torso and groin or specific protects normal.
[20] Roll 1d, 1 is Vitals [11], 2-4 is Digestive Tract [21], 5 Pelvis [19] and 6 is Groin [7].
[21] If major wound HT-3 or get a special infection (B444)

Technically, this is a D&D resource, but it might be useful for a GURPS game.

I discovered that Vicious Venues (for D&D 3rd Edition) are still available. Vicious Venues is a collection of written locations/encounters.

With some work, many of them could be converted to a GURPS game.

"Do you need a site with a few new challenges for your players? Are your adventurers facing a long trip with nothing to do? Do you want to add excitement to your next dungeon? Check out our Vicious Venues."

Edit: Likewise, Random Encounters are still available:

Route 88: A GURPS Winter Horror One-Shot by a relatively new GURPS GM: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vbgr...20Adventure.pdf?dl=0

Reddit discussion thread for feedback on the adventure here: https://www.reddit.com/r/gurps...shot_my_first_gurps/

I keep forgetting this exists, I'll have check back in here when I'm doing my House Rules again, give that disease progression system another look over...

... but as long as I'm here let me give a shout out to One-Shot Adventures and Trilemma:

One-Shot Adventures are just that, one-shots, fully fleshed out adventures, he sets them using GURPS rules (and lesser games systems as well).  He's got a nice collection on his blog.
https://1shotadventures.com/

Trilemma is a blog that mostly delves into a different style of rpgs entirely, however he does write really good 'one page adventures', adventure nuggets with really nifty ideas.  No rules, no stats, just maps and ideas.  And occasionally he delves into topics that, while they aren't meant for GURPS, they're still useful reads.
https://blog.trilemma.com/

Quite a number of GURPS gaming aids: https://gurps.fandom.com/wiki/Gaming_Aids

This page includes a number of resources I’ve seen before, but there’s quite a bit to go through here.

Edit: One such resource is the Collaborative Gamer, which includes resources for generating adventuring ideas, dungeons, NPCs, and much more: https://thecollaborativegamer.wordpress.com/

This resource was created with D&D in mind, but it can be easily modified for any system. It's helpful in organizing notes for a campaign.

To start, you'll need a Notion account, an organization tool similar to Google Sheets or Evernote. Notion is free for individual use: http://notion.so/

Walk-through for how to use the campaign template: https://slyflourish.com/lazy_dnd_with_notion.html or https://youtu.be/8AfbMNAsyr4

The template itself (though I recommend reading or watching the guide first): https://slyflourish.notion.sit...46839510dcb0b7356e43

A Dungeon for Every Archetype, a collection of dungeons for Dungeon Fantasy: https://tabletoprpg333.home.bl...for-every-archetype/

I think the HTML Template Overide feature is gone now. I cannot figure out how to export to a RPoL format anymore. What is your workaround?

This is a list of 638 character traits. Most of these would make good quirks: http://ideonomy.mit.edu/essays/traits.html
