[QUOTE="Ulrick, post: 5579021, member: 775"] Once I played in a Post-Apocalyptic GURPs session, where everything surrounding the city the characters lived in suddenly became a burning wasteland. Communications went down. Things started falling apart, food was running out, etc. Our group's mission was to travel to a nearby town just to see if anybody else survived the apocalypse. This was the first session. We created characters. I figured the group needed military-type character proficient with weapons. The other players said that the group also needed somebody with charisma and leadership skills, but their characters lacked such skills. So I created a soldier who had been enrolled in the Army's ROTC program before the apocalypse hit. I also discovered that GURPS character generation takes a long time and is fairly immersive. So when I was almost done I finally asked the other players what kind of characters they were running: a pixie, a talking dog, and a wookie/sasquatch type thing. :confused: And then they all starting bragging how cool their characters were. I suddenly remembered I had pressing engagements elsewhere... [/QUOTE]
