Merry Christmas everyone!

I hope you have a great day and are out spending time with the people you love.

As a "gift" to my players, add 20 CP and $500 to your character sheets, available for use immediately.

Have fun!


Arlend: I'm almost done with the map of the new city I'm setting up for you to start in. In a few days, you should be set to go. In the meantime, the name of the city is Raito. As with my other players, you begin with a small dwelling of your own consisting of a main room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom, all furnished and ready to go.

Start out in your solo thread telling us how you would like that to look.

You can also fill in the gaps with stuff like the names of your "posse" and a little about them.

Normal places exist in Raito as there would be in any other city...  stables, inns, blacksmith shop, gem engineers guild, explorers guild, ship docks, airship docks, trading posts...  etc, etc. Don't let the lack of a map stop you from jumping in and getting stuff done.

Thanks for the gift!

20CPs is so so good :)

New additions have been made to the GURPS Books Google Drive folder.

Am really gonna have to get arlend a gun or two aren't I.

been playing Red Dead Redemption 2 lately... need to pull of some of those 6 shot miracles.

Also favourite games of the last decade

ASsassins creed 4: black flag
Uncharted 4.

I have a custom built guitar with a Skull and Xbone headstock inlay.

GOnna be a pirate :)

I was hoping I would get a gunslinger at some point.

I've read that game is fantastic but I have about 20 games going I haven't beat already...

Well, i'm defintely willing to go full gunslinger - I even have the points required.


I know the feeling, I used to be a pretty hardcore gamer but now I can't bring myself to spend so much time on them. Even red dead redemption which is the best game ive played since Unchartered 4 i'm only about 50% through and basically have fallen off the wagon (haha).

I do have a question about the situation. I appreciate that this might be for Arlend to figure out but it's always worth asking as there may be some implicit knowlege that I, the player, do no tknow.


Assuming that Arlend drops a few people off into jail, what's stopping the slavers from just going to go get him out, beating up the local forces and making him be released?

Some ideas might be that "while they're okay kind working 'around' the authorities, any direct conflict with them might result in some terrible results that would deter it?

Maybe Arlend would have to stop that also.

Why would a slaver risk his life to go spring his competition from jail?

Supply and demand...

BTw, Gem powered firearms, how 'common' are they?

My guess is common enough to give the whole thing a wild west feel? But I could be wrong?

Actually I had conventional powder-charged cartridge firearms in mind, but firearms using gems would be extremely interesting...

Let's say gemguns don't exist yet, but maybe an enterprising individual could convince an extremely talented gem craftsman (which are hard to find because the art is still in it's infancy) and an extremely talented gunsmith to work together to make such a thing...? I'll leave it at that.

Alright, gotta find me some dwarves, I guess!

In the interest of making things in our game a little more compact, and finding things to outfit your characters easier, I will be moving the following threads into the 'General Store' thread:

Vehicles
Mounts
Animal Companions
Weapons
Armor


Since everyone has access (that I know of) to the Google Drive folder containing the books, I'm not going to bother posting stats for every single weapon or piece of armor and the like. If there is equipment you want, look it up in the books and shoot me a quick message so I can see if it fits in the world. Most equipment can be found starting on page 264 of GURPS Characters.

Alright, no problem!

I'll post shortly.

No worries, the game ain't going anywhere. Take your time.

Not true.

Tha game will be takej to new heigjts as arlend becomes the scourge of slavers everywhere. Before his ambition takes him to a much darker place and ve subsequently je becomes a dread pirate.

Where's nthe nw map?

It's not in the Drive folder??

Oh my bad :)

We got a new dude!

Yes we do and that makes three. I'll probably keep it there for now until I know what I'm doing.

BTw, just gotta say.

"Im baatttamaaaann"

Hahahahahahaha!

Ah eager to see what happne s next!

I know! But I have to ponder...  technically you should fail that and normally wouldn't you use a CP before the roll...?

However, you are right about other circumstances applying to this situation. Since you're in your new getup, wearing a skull mask, and walking out of the fog where they believe they are chasing children...  you know them by name...  you recited your little monologue...

I gotta give it to you.

Give me a while to write all this out.
