This is why I adopted the handful of gods, many names approach. Also I only focus on my main campaign area and don't really worry about the rest of the world. Most of my gods also embrace what I call catholic or universal ideals so it would be realistic for different cultures to interpret the...

If you ever built a temple as a site for a adventure, described the rooms, and populated it; you just created many of the elements of that deity's religion. And you are right about allowing the player to make up the details for something you having. Unlike you and your NPCs, the player has to...

I design the religion not the god as that what the players are going to be dealing with. The philosphy, hierarchy, rituals, special powers and so on. Any mythology starts out as a paragraph and as I add the above elements I can expand the mythology to explain it. Most people do it backwards...

Available in game stores in August. Like other Goodman Games products likely there will be a PDF at some point. Not sure as that is up to Joseph Goodman. Rob Conley

Flip it around and give the guards the Str 20 crossbow and you get my campaign's Knight-Killer Crossbows. One shot only, but boy if it hits!

How did you handle that? I am not too up on my shield breakage rules.

GURPS 4th added enhancements and limitations that modify advantages along with more advantages that have a basic effect like Innate Attack. I am not an expert in M&M but would say HERO is the ultimate flexible Superhero game capable of replicating any hero while M&M and GURPS are roughly at...

Sure if you want flexible HERO is great. But GURPS has the realism option as well which is does better than HERO.

I mistyped I meant timse 20 but time 25 works as well.

It not just that. We need the core rulebooks, we like to have specialized supplements, but we also need a true GURPS Fantasy that is a complete RPG that geared toward D&D players. Maybe when the Dungeon Fantasy series is done it could do that when complied but right now there is nothing that in...

4th edition GURPS is a better game than 3rd especially for fiddling with stuff to get the campaign you want. I like HERO too but GURPS wins on allowing the causal player to fiddle with the system. i.e. the math isn't as scary.

Technically but it is still not ready to run for any particular genre. I love the game but it's myopia in trying to attract D&D players is hurting it.

One of the purpose of GURPS is to translate real world stuff. They have rules for taking X hours of experience and turning it into skill points. There is also an option for earning skill points over time for campaign that like to leap ahead in big chunks of time. 1) Because defending against a...

Because they write crap adventures. No wait hear me out. The adventure are written like mini sourcebooks. So they fail both as adventure and as a sourcebook. It sad because most have good quality writing. Adventures should be ready to run with little or no prep. The closest that comes to that...

Done it for two fantasy campaign and it was a lot of fun. The best combat I seen is when the group mobbed a vampire with a bunch of 50 pts characters. The party was beating the vampire into a bloody pulp, The player playing the parish priest took the vampire down with a frying pan and then...

You are standing in front of a uarmored guy and let him have with a broadsword. Comes out swinging and hits... where? If you take a shot across the chest. Ok you have broken ribs, broken sternum, broken collar bone, etc. You will be hurting , probably down, but not likely dead. Going to need...

I was trying to convince a friend to try GURPS 4th edition. We played together for 10 years in NERO live action roleplaying . NERO uses boffer combat and packets for spells. You say the incant "I call forth a magic missile" and throw the packet. If it hits the spell does damage and/or takes...

To me it looks like they had a good plan but badly underestimated the resource needed to pull it off. Especially on the software side coupled with a major management change in the spring. The whole pattern of 4th edition's release looks a lot like the experience I had (on a smaller scale) of...

Thanks Errr because I missed it. I was running 8 distinct character and this is the result of my 3rd run. Each time I find something I missed. Seem similar to the same learning curve I went through with GURPS 4th and GURPS 4th Martial arts. In hindsight the fact the fighter was hurt so bad in...
