[Guest 6801328]

My friends got a big, jowly bloodhound how howled a lot. I tried to convince them to name him Thurston Howl.

Then they might feel compelled to breed the bloodhound to get Thurston Howl Jr and then try for Thurston Howl III.

Can we get Gilligan and the Skipper statted up?

That sounds like a job for [MENTION=6726030]Mike Myler[/MENTION]

Replace "King Arthur" with "Skipper" and "Patsy" with "Gilligan"?

It's almost as if you didn't read the post...

It's a different take on my original post, but I fully approve of ANY lessons learned from Gilligan's Island!

It teaches me that skill challenges can be solved with only a skill in coconuts.

I'm pretty sure GURPS has this covered with Science! (Bang or Wild Card skill)
If you are not familiar, when the skill has an exclamation point it becomes cinematic where groups of skills are all rolled up and there are fewer limitations.
