GURPS 4e Day After Ragnarok Enemies crash in car chase.

AD&D 1.6e, Avalon in Greensward: Attempted enemy agent readily doubled.

In my own D&D setting (running since 1979), printing was introduced during play. This caused some brief newspaper wars, in the style of the British tabloid press, until people got used to them. In the setting where I mostly play now, printing exists, and one country issues a guide to monsters...

Four is more to my taste, simply because players in their fifties or older tire faster. To refine this a bit, it's definitely part of a campaign that has well-established characters*. There's development of the campaign narrative, opening up new possibilities. At least one of the characters...

I fear we will never agree over this. The sole piece of Star Wars media I've ever taken in was A New Hope, in 1977 on its first run in the cinema, at age 16. I found it pretty dull, and have never wanted to see any more. I've read some of the terrible struggles people have trying to do Star Wars...

"It's part of the act."

AD&D 1.6e, Avalon in Greensward: Settling into lord/village politics.

OD&D, and AD&D1e. I have characters from 1979 that I still play occasionally. AD&D2e didn't seem worth the cost and effort of changing over. 3e had "atmospheric" production that made it very hard to read for someone with my collection of sight defects. 4e was very legible, which enabled me to...

GURPS 4e occult WWII campaign, neutral countries strand: Mystery ship sighted from Ascension.

GURPS 4e Day After Ragnarok: Mistakenly summoned South China sea-serpents.

Mine seems to be about getting India through the war and to independence in the best shape possible. The PCs work for the Indian equivalent of MI5 and have spent a lot of their time countering German and Japanese spying and subversion.

My GURPS 4e campaign in WWII India is going reasonably well. It's an occult WWII setting with re-emerging magic. It's June 1941, and the PCs have recently returned to India after averting the Anglo-Iraqi War. I expect to run this well into the 2030s; I have some of the final events prepared, but...

AD&D 1.6e, Avalon in Greensward: Game of Thrones meets Wodehouse.

After leaving Lundenwic ("London Port") we needed to go north up Ermine Street, which starts at Roman Lundinium, about a mile down the Thames. We got a ferry across the River Fleet, a north-side tributary of the Thames, and followed a track to Lundinium. We talked to a sentry on the walls, and...

GURPS 4e, in Alfred's England: Bought and freed Saxon Slave.

Yes, I know. But that's a bit complicated to explain in-line in a thread.

I guess I have an agenda when I run games, though the phrasing is different: Give the characters freedom, but the NPCs may want to impose consequences if the characters are violent idiots. Show the characters interesting things they can do, but don't force them. Don't forget about the...

The situation wasn't very good at the start of yesterday's session. We had the artifact we'd been sent to Macao to get, but the owner had been shot before handing it over to us. He's still alive, but badly wounded. There are multiple armed men outside the front and rear doors of the casino who...

GURPS 4e Day After Ragnarok: Pulp Reservoir Dogs in Macao.

I've read it, but not played it. It uses the normal GURPS 3e combat system. It has not been revised for 4e, or released as PDF because there was a falling-out between SJ Games and the old White Wolf company.
