I've never had any serious problems with min-maxers in GURPS. I expect believable well-rounded characters with some depth from my players - min-maxers are rarely able to deliver this. I never fudge any rolls, avoid railroading like the plague, and allways roll out in the open - but the few true...

well, the reason for this is simply that this is a really good opportunity to coerce my players to buy their own damn books - at least when it comes to GURPS. More than 80% of all our games use GURPS - but the majority of my players never bothered to buy one bleeding GURPS book! OTOH for the 15%...

I've just send an email to all my regular players (12) to inform them that the actual possession of (at least) the "Character" core book will be required at my table from August/September on! I will also order the "Deluxe" set.

thanks guys!

maybe somebody around here will be so nice and calculate the probabilities for the following dice rolls for me: (A) When rolling 4D5 (i.e. the added results of 4 six-sided dice, each numbered from 0-5) or 4d6-4 - what are the chances to roll at or below...

I prefer low-magic "grim 'n gritty" games as a player - when I'm in a campaign that uses GURPS (i.e. a system which allows me to come up with realistic and creative solutions to the problems resulting from such a setting). D&D simply doesn't work without tons of items, spells, and/or inherent...

ditto on Steven Erikson - I've just started reading Midnight Tides (the 5th book of the Malazan Book of the Fallen series) and it's absolutely fabulous. Now all I need is a Powered by GURPS Malazan RPG (Erikson is or was a GURPS player & GM) ;)

- The Malazan Book of the Fallen (Steven Erikson) - Lord of Light (R. Zelazny) - Runelords (David Farland) - Hiero's Journey (Sterling Lanier) - Skies of Arcadia (DC/NGC videogame)

everything for: Dawnforge Midnight Scarred Lands and: Psionics 3.5 Complete Divine UA

sorry, some of my players sometimes lurk around here - but I've emailed the answer to you ;)

just two truths: 1. THIS GUY IS NOT YOUR FRIEND. 2. GROW A SPINE AND KICK HIM OUT: IF HE'LL NEVER PLAYS A RPG IN HIS LIFE AGAIN, WE'LL ALL HAVE TO THANK YOU!

another idea for that tiefling paladin: If I were to GM this, I'd allow (or even force ;)) you to take one level of sorcerer first. Then - without any kind of summoning ritual - one day your imp familiar would appear: appalled at your way of life, bound to you by unknown forces, determined to...

a tiefling paladin is quite possible - but he would be an outlaw in his own homeland! His low strength and constitution might be an issue, but the charisma bonus should prove valuable: maybe a rapier-wielding paladin with weapon finesse?

it's hard to say where the "feel" came from - but the effect of DF was that a lot of the usual d20/D&D3.5 stuff seems right now: the archetypical classes, the hit point systems, the "simple" plots. We're at the beginning: things should be archetypical, and powerful, and "simple". All PCs had...

Well, like I said: they were all stranded in the absolutely cheapest inn in all of Riversend - with no job, no money, and no idea how to get through the coming winter. Then those peasants witnessed the group fight half-a-dozen drunk and raging highlander barbarians... Why they ended up in...

Yesterday I GMed my first Dawnforge session. PCs (L1): minotaur fighter (m), tiefling wizard of entropy (m), tiefling sorcerer (f), yuan-ti thinblood monk (f), human lowlander shaper (m), gnome shaman (m), night elf rogue (m), ogre ranger (m) I was extremely generous with starting equipment -...

well, they are in the same *city* when they first meet: River's End is a kind of grand central station for adventurers - but the market is flooded with low-level soldiers of fortune, the influx of treasure powers inflation, and so the PCs find themselves in a cheap and seedy inn at the edge of...

Well, besides the great crunchy bits for playing powerful races, legendary heroes, and the new classes? Besides the freedom from metaplots and Elminster-style NPCs? Besides the fact that there are no real gods yet - and that you might become one? I believe IMHO that it is the deep innocence of...

...until I saw Dawnforge. Buy it. Now. Yes. It's that good. ...yesterday my players created PCs for my first Dawnforge campaign: the demand was overwhelming - EIGHT players! I offered them two different campaigns, but they were so excited about the setting and the characters that they...

I play and GM both GURPS and D&D - I prefer GURPS for 95% of my games. Why? - more character, combat, magic, setting, technology, etc. options What do I use D&D for? - ultra-cinematic, power-up, four-color games, inspired by CRPGs and console rpgs. Example: I've played Midnight d20 and...
