[QUOTE="coyote6, post: 72664, member: 1225"] 1) What exactly do you mean by "like Technomancer"? Do you mean modern-day-with-overt-magic setting? Specifically for GURPS? Transhuman Space is GURPS' newest setting; it's pretty spiffy, if you like 22nd century kind-of hard science fiction settings. 2) Psionics is pretty good (written by David Pulver, who also wrote Technomancer, and Transhuman Space). However, GURPS' default is that psionics and magic don't really interact or intersect. Nor are the two systems necessarily balanced with one another. So combining the two takes either some consideration of the consequences (so you don't get unpleasant surprises), or some customization. (FWIW, the Hellboy RPG ["Powered by GURPS"] is supposed to have some magic-psionics interface rules. That's August, though.) 3) If you're playing in Technomancer, GURPS Magic is very very useful. Almost required, really. 4) You can convert by feel, maybe, but straight formulaic conversions (e.g., "this D&D stat at this level becomes that GURPS stat at that level") doesn't really work. I know someone who has translated some D&D monsters to GURPS, though. [/QUOTE]
