Loved that game; wish it was more popular.

Interesting. In our GURPS Swashbucklers game, we've had one combat in about 10 sessions.

The numbers don't go high enough as all my gaming is non-dnd if I can help it. Savage Worlds 2 hours per week, GURPS 4 hours per week. When University is in session another 4 hours per week - varies but never dnd.

We have one; The Nordlondr bestiary. Chock full of D&D-like monsters and a bunch of unique ones from Norse Mythology.

I've played in a post-apoc game set in Middle Earth after Sauron won the war and I'm currently playing in a GURPS After the End game based on Half=life where aliens invaded 15 years ago and we are struggling to survive what aliens are left.

Definitely; 43 and 62 here. I was late to the party.

Yeah, I would be. To be honest, I'm not sure. My background is from games like gurps and SW where mages can wear whatever they want as long as they have the strength for it. I'm trying to base a decision on both balance and feel of the setting. Part of my issue is that magic in SW isn't as...

So a starter set. Have you played gurps before? If not, why the choice of 3e? IMO, Horror 4e is possibly the best horror primer I've ever read.

Well, In gurps, IQ attribute includes perception which can be raised from base. Perception includes Smell/taste, which can also be raised with Acute Smell/Taste.

Deadlands Death came, Earps, Doc died

The weird thing about scaling narration as you gain more hp is that if you take 1 damage out of 100 hp from a poisoned weapon, you can still die from poison even though it was a "narrow miss" or whatever. For the record, since I play GURPS and Savage Worlds almost exclusively, a hit is most...

Thanks, all. The reason I was asking is because I'm working on an Pathfinder for Savage Worlds game and I don't really like the way they handle armour proficiency. I I have a Wizard multiclassed with fighter he is still limited to the armour of a wizard (none) and while there is an Edge that...

Is it possible by any method (multiclass, feats, etc.) for an arcane caster to wear armour with no penalty to arcane spellcasting? If so, what are all the ways. Could apply to 1e or 2e.

Pretty sure Pirates is on both Steam and GOG. I played it not that long ago on the former.

There is a similar Advantage in Delvers to Grow for Wizards to make missile spells castable and throwable in 1 turn. At the high end, 20 skill will reduce casting time as well.

What do you do with half squares? With hexes, I tend to assume half hexes are whole hexes and you can't enter hexes any smaller. My only issues are with flanking when using them for D&D.

Hexes are just better, IMO. I often use hexes even on the rare occasions I run D&D - it just makes movement so much smoother. No more worries about diagonals. And fireballs are actually a circle.

Well, that is a gm call but, honestly, it's probably a bad idea to so outnumber the players as to allow for 8-1 combat. In fact, I don't recall ever being in a gurps fight with 6-1 happening.

In a similar vein, David Pulver revised Big Eyes Small Mouth for its second edition while having written 3e gurps books and the core rules for 4e.

While it has some interesting ideas I may mine for my games, it's still classes and levels, so it's unlikely I'll ever play it, let alone run it.
