I'd love to hear more about this session.

Looks great! I just ordered a copy. Can’t wait to give it a whirl.

What’s there to lose with trying a “reload?” It’s unusual. Radical, even. But why not see what happens? At first, my knee jerk reaction was dismay at the players. After reading through the thread, I’ve come to a different way of thinking. What’s the big deal? Experiment. See what’s fun for...

Nice! Before reading your notes, I imagined that the well in room 21 was directly over 43a.

So sorry to hear this! Warm wishes for a rapid recovery.

GURPS Cliffhangers: Mid-air battle with bank robbers!
