    GURPS settings appreciation thread

    I'll copy over my post from the other thread. GURPS Technomancer is a nice bit of genius IMO. It's just too bad it's extremely strongly tied to the GURPS system. The idea is that the first nuclear test explosion created some kind of rift that increases the ambient mana in the world, turning...

    GURPS Technomancer is a nice bit of genius IMO. It's just too bad it's extremely strongly tied to the GURPS system. The idea is that the first nuclear test explosion created some kind of rift that increases the ambient mana in the world, turning the world from the "normal" low-mana real world...

    GURPS 4th Edition Revised Announced

    I'm pretty sure GURPS 3e had a specific mention of how getting around Cannot Speak/Mute via telepathy meant you didn't get any points for Cannot Speak (but I can't be bothered to look it up). I did check 4e and it does not have such a mention, and it even implies that compensating for it is OK –...

    Hours actually playing RPGs, non-D&D?

    My main group is, in theory, playing three hours a week. We often get started a little late so call it 2½. We sometimes have to cancel because too many people have other things come up, but we've easily played more than 3/4 of the 43 weeks so far this year so call it 32 x 2.5 = 80 hours. This...

    D&D General Why Enworld should liberate D&D from Hasbro

    I'm not sure it's about edgy characters. Well, that's part of it, but I also think that the players who do like to play fundamentally good-hearted characters like playing characters who choose good. They aren't good because they have some kind of inherent good instincts inherited from celestial...

    2024 D&D Core Rulebooks Off to "Strongest-Ever" Start for D&D Books

    My understanding is that 4e had great initial sales, partially because people were curious about the new weird thing, and partially because they released all the core books at the same time and Amazon had an amazing deal on a gift set containing all three – to the point where it was cheaper for...
