ENWorld Forums equivalent for Gurps?

[IndyPendant]

Just curious. This forum is where I go for information on DND, or for feedback on my own house rule ideas. The community here is great: mature, intelligent, and respectful. Contrast that with the official WotC forums which, well...aren't, for the most part.

Gurps is my major other RPG of choice. I'm just curious if anyone knows of a forum similar to ENWorld in atmosphere, but centralized around the Gurps gaming system? (i.e., also mature, intelligent, and respectful...: )

Thanks.

The only place I know that is a sizeable GURPS community is the SJGames forums themselves; I've never tooled around there, so I am afraid I can't attest weal or woe to their civility.

EDIT: Just taking a brief look, they look pretty respectful of others, at first blush.

They are, except for their off-topic/political board, last I looked (6 months ago).

aren't the GURPS boards reserved for people who subscribe to Pyramid?

The Pyramid boards are; the Steve Jackson games boards aren't.

From what I see, no. From their terms & conditions upon registration:

1. Access to these forums is free. We may change or discontinue certain services on our system, or change the fee structure, from time to time. We will try to let you know about such changes a month or more in advance.

Also of interest:

...Respect other users of the system. Feel free to express yourself, but do not do anything to injure or harm others. In particular, if you dislike someone else's ideas, you may attack the ideas, but not the person. We want people to speak freely on our system. But if you misuse that freedom and abuse others, then as hosts we have the right to cut that discussion short.

Wow. I don't often come to the General section of these forums, since my interests more often lie in Rules or House Rules.

Already on page 2! You guys are *busy* here!

Thanks for the reference about SJGames vs Pyramid. Somehow I had gone to Pyramid, and missed the other completely. All fixed now.

Although they're still not as good as this group. They aren't bad tho, so...*shrug*. If it's all that's available, it's all that's available. : )

Well, you might give the Pyramid magazine and forums a try - they are pretty good as well, and via Pyramid you get some interesting GURPS-based articles.

Plus - hey - weekly game magazine.
