    Communal Setting: Cambria

    The southernmost part of Cambria is dominated by a stretch of badlands known as the Pockmarks Desert which reaches from the Duskfangs right up to the coast. This dry and rocky area contains several dozens of small craters called drylakes, some no more than 100 feet in diameter, the largest -...

    Communal Setting: Cambria

    Though there are still a few temples to the traditional deities to be found in Cambria, another religion has risen in this new world. Almost any town and most villages will have a so-called "Church" of The Faith. Followers of The Faith believe that all deities are just reflections and visions...

    Communal Setting: Cambria

    Refuge is the name of the northernmost harbor in Cambria: This town of narrow streets and timber-framed houses lies above a small sheltered bay to the south of the coastal area known as Firwood Coast. About 3-4 miles south of Refuge one can find a stretch of rocky cliffs punctured by dozens of...

    Communal Setting: Cambria

    The hinterlands of Cambria, i.e. anything more than 40-50 leagues east of the coast, are dominated by a vast mountain range, stretching more than 900 miles from north to south, and with majestic snow-capped peaks more than 10,000 feet above sea level. The colonists call them the Duskfangs, for...

    Are you doing your part to destroy the industry?

    P.S.: but I bought just two WotC books since Complete Adventurer came out: Heroes of Horror and the Spell Compendium - everything else went into other systems (= GURPS 4e) or to OGL publishers...

    Are you doing your part to destroy the industry?

    I'm a good boy: By the end of December I will have spent somewhere around 1200 Euros on RPGs in 2005, not counting console or computer games. In the past I've also written articles for Pyramid, and contributed (among others) to GURPS Horror3e, GURPS Steam-Tech, and Transhuman Space: Toxic Memes.

    thanks - I'll probably use the variant from Mystic Races: lots of different breeds and LA+0 :)

    Urgent: "Catpeople"-Race needed!!!

    What good "cat people" races for D&D3.x are out there? Especially races without racial hit dice, and with a Level Adjustment of +0 or +1??? In which book (or better: website) can they be found?

    "What do you mean I can't...?"

    yep, that's why I (and most of my players) prefer GURPS4e combat... ;)

    Is it over for me?

    the main problem here - or so it seems - is not getting older, but moving more and more away from a gamer-rich social environment. Non-gamers, however, have proven to be utterly without interest to me, so I'ver run that risk since I deliberately avoid close personal involvement with non-gamers...

    GURPS-Share your thoughts

    ...a good reason to switch to GURPS 4th Ed. :)

    I refuse to DM 3/3.5 past 7th level. How about you?

    ditto & ditto - and this comes from someone who *loves* to be the GM, *started* roleplaying as a GM (in 1991), and actually *is* the GM in 90% of all campaigns he's involved in, and has "game nights" on average twice per week...

    So what's your plot so far?

    I've got several campaigns at the moment - but the youngest is my GURPS4e Banestorm (see this thread and this review) campaign... The focus of my new GURPS4e Banestorm "Milk & Honey" campaign: At the beginning of the campaign the PCs slowly become involved in what turns out to be a...

    Does your group have a website/messageboard?

    I started with yahoogroups, but now we've got a pool of 20+ players and 2-4 GMs, so we needed our own messageboard: the common calendar for all our campaign sessions *alone* would have been worth the effort :)

    If you want to stock up on your GURPS library...

    I *do* own the GURPS3e Conan book - and it's one of my favorite RPG books of all time. However, since I got this great deal at the Spiel '05 (Conan RPG (hc) + Black Kingdoms + Thunder River + Hyboria's Fiercest + Free Companies for 60 euros!), I'm now planning to get me Road of Kings & Shadizar...
