Fifteen years later... I appear to be the sole remaining community member of the Gametable project, and thus effectively own the Sourceforge site for this project. I have checked the Sourceforge site periodically for any bug reports or discussion post over the years, but there does not seem to...

Having researched the history of psychic phenomena in general and psionics specifically, I have learned a few interesting things that I would like to share as background and history... which I will try to recall off the top of my head, as I'm away from my notes. One: the history of mental...

FASERIPopedia Rules Cyclopedia FASERIPopedia is a retro-clone successor of the original FASERIP system using the OGL 1.0, created solely by a one-being team. It weighs in at nearly 400 pages. It is designed to be an all-in-one compendium of the original rule concepts plus additional options and...

Speaking as a long-time member of Steve Jackson Game's MIB program, and current Cell Leader for a chunk of the American Southwest: there has been no notifications of any uptick in the version of GURPS. We have been tasked to collect feedback from our communities; that is an ongoing duty for us MIBs.

{Clipping from The Daily Crystal} For the woman elegance, poise, and position on the go! This indispensable item is an absolute must for those situations where an entrance simply must be made. As every woman knows, the Descent Upon the Stairs is The Entrance. Behold, this stylish rod (with...

Design a special suit of clothes / armor / steampunk clockwork wearable suit which is designed to twitch-trigger a number of Immovable Rods mounted inside the clothing along various portions of the body. While a mime might be able to make creative use of this outfit, it will really show it's...

Create a mini construct that has the sole purpose in existence of clinging to the rod and pushing that button. The construct responds to a key word, specific user, or mental command for the psionic types. Connect a rope, or if you really insist, a whip to the rod. You can now throw out the...

Excellent comment on cold iron. I'll double check, but if we weren't already doing that, we will be from now on. =D

1) pay for custom ring gates that fit snugly over the button end of the immovable rod and firmly attach in place. 2) put the rod somewhere interesting or give it to someone. (as the button is on the other side of the gate, they can't mess with it.) 3) remote control the rod via the Murphy's Law...

You are probably thinking about the damage caps on spells (Page 36 of the 3.5 DMG). Range and Duration and any other non-damage level based parts of a spell don't have a cap unless the spell says so.

I've always enjoyed the Rule of Cold Iron when it comes to giving martials a method of dealing with magic types. For those not familiar it is traditional in many folk lore, fairy tales, and fantasy stories for Cold Iron to be the bane and/or natural counter of arcanists and arcane effects of...

I would suggest Oolite for those interested in an updated yet still true-to-core of the original Elite. Open source and mod-able.

Mutant Coyote with bouncing, stretching, and various physical defenses powers... was nearly indestructible. And a good thing too, as my DM watched the same Saturday morning stuff I did, so my character kept falling (or getting thrown) off of heights, getting things dropped on him from heights...

Completely RAW... until you reach the end of the table, that is. Also, I don't think there technically is a table entry that fits the 20th level monk's unarmed strike damage for size increases. Most people are using the superscript (1) note as justification for extending/extrapolating the...

Um, well the basic idea is to use the greater mighty wallop spell as a continual use item, and then stack on as many other size increases as you can that will fit your build. If the DM allows you to extrapolate the damage increase due to size increase table (see here or here or the Savage...
