Hadn't heard of them before this thread. Sounds like they're catering for people who want to show off their wealth, rather than play quality games.

GURPS 4e, occult WWII campaign, India strand: Japanese Naval Intelligence: Operational Security?

In our occult WWII game, the tank graveyard held the cremated remains of 1st Fallschirm-Panzer Division Hermann Göring. It had a "mysterious fire" shortly before Operation Husky. This was due to some British agents (the PCs) who figured out that it had a magical network between all its vehicles...

AD&D1.2e, Avalon Campaign: Didn't fall into Deeping Portal.

I prepare until I have a decent understanding of the situation as of the start of the session. This can be a lot of research, thinking and writing, or none at all. I get names ready for new NPCs, because I'm weak at improvising those. Then I just play the NPCs and allow new situations to emerge...

GURPS 4e Day After Ragnarok, in Australia. "Crikey!" means "I'm still OK."

The PCs we've been playing since spring 2020 are now between 19th and 14th level, and the GM is finding it hard to challenge them. Yesterday was devoted to establishing the framework for a new campaign in Avalon, in a different part of the continent. We plan to keep on playing the current...
