Race for The Dutchman (Old West)

November 28, 2015 Mook 12

| Downloads:  | Size:  Greetings, GURPS Fiends! Though the holiday week and vacation played havoc with my schedule, I’m thrilled to finally launch this new series– Quick-Play Adventures. GURPS doesn’t produce a whole lot of adventures, for obvious reason: it’s a […]

Intermediate Recovery

November 12, 2015 Mook 2

Happy GURPS-Day, GURPSellians! I hope you enjoyed last week’s peek at my GM screen, but today we return to the “New to GURPS” series with “Intermediate Recovery,” a.k.a., “How do I fix these holes in me?” Moving from GURPS Lite […]

My GURPS GM Screen

November 5, 2015 Mook 17

I love my GM screen. It’s eight glorious pages of densely-packed GURPS goodness, with at least 90% of anything I need to run any game, any time. I often say I haven’t had to crack an actual book at the […]

Equipping Your GURPS Character

October 29, 2015 Mook 3

Another Thursday, another peek into the wonderful world of GURPS! Today we’re looking back at skills. The sections to read for everything about skills are pp. 167-173 in Characters and pp. 343-361 in Campaigns. The “Task Difficulty” section on pp. 345-346 is particularly delicious. […]

Your First Spells

September 30, 2015 Mook 2

Happy Thursday, the day when GURPS goodness descends upon us from all over the web! Because the basic posts of the “New to GURPS” series were limited to things found in GURPS Lite, we haven’t yet talked about spells, something […]

Fate Aspects as GURPS Advantages

September 27, 2015 Mook 6

I’ve been tinkering around with how I run GURPS lately, even more than usual, and here’s my first quick thought: using Fate Aspects as GURPS Advantages. I like the concept of Aspects, of having these descriptive tags for your character […]

Intermediate Character – Kerna Dallon

September 24, 2015 Mook 2

Fantasy Party Quick-Start Characters

September 19, 2015 Mook 0

The latest issue of Pyramid magazine has another article on “pointless” character creation, this time for Monster Hunters, putting me in that frame of mind — so, I whipped up an archetypical fantasy party (at the “Heroic” level) using my […]

Creating The Warriors – Part 2

September 12, 2015 Mook 0

Part 1 of this post looked at nailing down the adventure idea, expanding it a bit, coming up with some pre-gen characters, and starting to flesh out the details, which is the step continuing here. Remember, if you’re just looking for the […]

Creating The Warriors – Part 1

September 10, 2015 Mook 2

Thursday is GURPS Day! And we will definitely be getting our GURPS on, but I’ve had to change up the schedule a bit. I attended the ever-wondrous Gateway 2015 convention this past weekend, and had planned to post a recap of […]
