Once again, I'm here to talk to you about 1-second combat rounds.
1) In all the GURPS games I've run, I've focused on frenetic combat and kept a brisk pace. I see combat as chaos. Keep things moving so people don't get distracted. The...
Yes. Any longer. I started playing in 1981. I was post AD&D pre 2e basic Moldvay Red Box. In my circles, people used to wax poetic about authenticity to the ugly peculiarities of the medieval personage. If you hang out in any OSR spaces, I still believe there is a crowd looking for this...
If you look at popular settings in today's hobby, I'm confident players are not looking for the "dark ages reenactment of historical accuracy" any longer. I believe FR was still rooted in the Tolkien medieval fantasy aesthetic when it was created. Today, people want high fantasy, "this is...
You don't need to spend a round just to talk. It is suggested you limit the length in "realistic" games. It has never come up at my table. I just let people scream at each other during the frenzy. You don't need to remain in 1-seond rounds for a whole combat. The rules provide advice on how you...

Boo. I believe it's cool to talk about why you did or didn't like a game. But general broad statements like this only serve to divide us. You may not like GURPS, but it's not cool to crap on all GURPS or GURPS players (IMHO). Maybe talk about what you love about your favorite game instead of...
There are advantages to using blockchain technology. On the network I work with, transactions are fast and cheap. So, there's very little overhead for verification or querying. Minting is not as fast, but for most people, it would be considered fast (if you know what I mean. :-)
Most of the...
