You can buy it as gear as the GM mentioned, you can also buy it as powers/advantages with character points. If you want some help I'd be more than happy. While I don't plan on applying for this game myself I am more than willing to help anyone that would like to learn how to play GURPS.

The larger the player base the more GURPS games there can be, right?

I'd love to play but I don't have the GURPS books so I'll have to ask for your help, fearless GM.

I'd love to play a debutante sorceress.

Sounds cool. (tabs to dictionary.com)

So, what exactly do you need? I can design a basic working character+spell set that you can put the finishing touches on.

AvianMalkavian · Nov 6 '12, 2:42am

That would work just fine, I think.

This sounds awesome. Ideas forthcoming.

How would you feel about a loyalist/royalist (gung ho for the monarchy) leader of a street gang? I'm thinking lots of street-level skills, contacts and the like, good with a knife or a sap, that sort of thing.

Schilcote · Nov 6 '12, 3:12am

Yup, sounds good.

Avian: I've decided to base your character on Ada Lovelace, if that's alright with you. Minus the terminal cancer, of course.

I'm pretty sure I could figure something out.
Thinking maybe grabbing a Battlesuit(with helmet)with a pintle mounted cannon(either a Lantaka or a swivel gun, both from GURPS:low tech) and a Large shield attatched to the arms of the battle suit. Have the Battlesuit increase my SM to +1, or +2 depending, while wearing it. Wanting it to be something simular to this:

This, of course, requires me to spend points on wealth to be able to afford all of this stuff.

Schilcote · Nov 6 '12, 3:19am

Sounds good.

I can tell already that this is going to be a good game.

Actually thinking of making a mechanical man. It's just that character creation always takes me so long for GURPS.
