Leif's DISCONTINUED GURPS Traveller Game OOC01

[Leif]

BTW, I am sorta toying with the idea of running a GURPS game of my own, but primarily for you guys (esp. Leif since he's running this one). I don't want to compete with/interfere with this game, however. Thoughts?

Thanks, Insight! Count me in. Although I must confess that I am itching to play a sci-fi game, maybe in a GURPS Space universe that's different from the Traveller universe? (since you want to be so different, yuk)
(A scary espionage game sounds fun, too, though....)

Scotley posted very specifically culled portions from GURPS Psionics.

Trust me, Psychic Healing had more than just healing in it.

Oh wait, there's another page there. Life Extension and Metabolism Control! Yay! That and Sense Aura are it, I think!

That ain't what my book says, and I gave Scotley one just like this one! To quote from page 175, "The Power of psychic healing seems to combine aspects of empathy, psychokinesis and telepathy, but it is effectively a separate power. Only one skill, also called Healing is known."

And don't forget ANTIPSI, too, folks!

I have my GURPS Psionics and see the following:

ELECTROKINESIS (5/level):
Cost to buy separately in parentheses
Confuse (2)
Cyberpsi (2)
Dampen (2)
Energy Sense (1)
Energy Shield (2)
Lightning (prereq: Surge 12-)
Photokinesis (2)
Surge (2)

HEALING (3/level):
Healing
Life Extension (prereq: Metabolism Control 14-)
Metabolism Control (1)
Sense Aura (1)

Duh! I guess I could look in that book, too! I was looking in the GURPS Traveller book, and it's a little bit different there. Psionics book, hmmm, whatta concept!

Oh, and I had an idea for my character in your upcoming GURPS (possibly GURPS Horror) game: Biff Cornhelm, Investigative Reporter!

Ehhhh it might be changing now.

All I can say at this point is

GURPS MARS

That is all...

Scotley, awesome!

Though if you're going to do Electrokinesis, I shan't step on you.

Insight, check out the Transhuman Space books too...especially the first one. That looks like a really cool "hard sci fi" game setting that could be a lot of fun.

I'm planning to look through the main Transhuman Space book today. I'm not 100% sure which way I'm going with this new game, but it is leaning towards some sort of exploration theme.

EDIT: I've taken a look at Transhuman Space and I don't think it's going to offer much for the game I'm putting together. I don't particularly care for the timeline and most of the really nice stuff in the book is further in the future than I was planning to go. It is a nice book (and series) though - just not really what I need.

Even so, the "folks at home" still need to know about the latest explorations, don't they? Well, Biff Cornhelm is just the, ummm, the DUDE (yeah, the dude), to tell them all about it.
