Kerrick - I believe most of the necessary material has been moved here from PBW. Your current activities with Grisham is where you left off.

Love the Rusty Codpiece.  And I’ll bet the food is better than Bob Evans Restaurant.

Yeah, the Codpiece is a fine establishment. No one has died from their food...  yet.

The other player is in the middle of her solo play as of right now. I'm still chipping away at this and that.

What do you need as far as getting into play?

Under Beginning Play, do our characters get $1000 in addition to the listed equipment, or do we pay for all of the gear (leather armor, etc.)?

You get a basic kit when you make your character including light leather armor, DR:2, a low quality weapon of your choosing, a small backpack with a simple First Aid Kit and a light stick.

You have an additional  $1000 to spend on top of that.

This game is alive?

In reply to Tomas (msg # 7):

Newly resurrected.

I would like to welcome Arlend to the game. Feel free to read up, start designing your character and jump in.

Enjoy!

Awesome,

Are there any restrictions on chargen? Rough ideas for point totals, etc?

Or are we free to follow our muse?

Starting points will be 150. Up to half for disadvantages.

Ah no!!!! Lower than i'd hoped :)

but i guess we can build up to the awesome that he wants to be.

For map making, there's this:

it's very cool! and can make full continent maps or tactical HEX maps.

This is better for full world maps though:

I've been reading the weapon thread, and you say that say.. longsword has 1d6+4, do you mean Swing+4?

Take whatever is listed with a grain of salt. A lot of times all I want to do is get "placeholders" for things, and then go back and edit stuff here and there as the mood strikes.

I want to have something for players to use that know even less about the system than I do. So yes, ST -> SW -> Whatever the actual table says.

Is magic just the standard system, or is Ritual Path Magic/Realm magic available?

Just seeing what's available before I finish writing the concept.

In reply to Arlend (msg # 16):

I'm flexible. Explain to me what Ritual Path and Realm magic is, or direct me to the reference material, and we'll go from there.

I'm just figuring out the standard system now, so if there are other systems my players want to use, understand that it will take some time for me to learn.

References are in:

GURPS Magic: Thaumatology
GURPS Ritual Path Magic
GURPS: Monster Hunters 1 - Champions.

Realm Magic is also in Thaumatology.

They're basically  syntactic magical styles that allow for more flexibility than 1 skill per spell.

In games I've run I delineate 'types' ofmagic by using different systems.

For example, if you compare to DnD.

Wizard (academic learning of magery) uses the standard magic system
Sorceror (exerting willpower to manipulate reality) uses Realm Magic

Ritual path magic is used by a form of caster that is more akin to something you might see out of ANime/Manga - and is based on use of one's core essence/spirit/or whatever to create effects.


Each have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Interesting. I'm going to say do it up. I'll get ahold of the books and do some reading.

If I could have one of my players go to the Notice thread "GURPS Lite Download" to test the link and report back to me that things are working correctly, I would appreciate it.

As of the timestamp on this post there should be two PDFs, the GURPS Basics, Characters, and Campaigns in a public Google Drive folder.

I will be adding every GURPS book I've purchased so far and I ask everyone, kindly, once, not to be assholes and just use the references in the spirit that I've intended. If we were all sitting around a table, I would have these books sitting around for anyone to thumb through and use.

Keep that in mind.
