prophane Posted November 27, 2023 Clone Share Posted November 27, 2023 So I know some of you GURPSers out there are potential GMs. What are some campaign ideas you've been thinking about? What are some new games we might see popping up here on MW sometime soon? Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prophane Posted November 28, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted November 28, 2023 also, to all of you GURPS GMs and potential GURPS GMs, GURPS has officially been added as a Myth Weavers Community. When setting up new games, make sure you choose GURPS as the "Community" and the game system. Yay GURPS!

Morphling Posted November 28, 2023 Clone Share Posted November 28, 2023 I've been thinking of running a GURPS Fallout game using the After the End supplements to help with a lot of the rules. Already created stats for Super Mutants, Ghouls, Morlocks, and Vampires, all of which would be available as PCs. Super Mutant 40 points Attribute Modifiers: ST +4 (size, -10%) [36]; DX -1 [-20]; IQ -1 [-20]; HT +3 [30] Secondary Characteristic Modifiers: HP +4 [8]; SM +1 Advantages: Fearlessness 2 [4]; High Pain Threshold [10]; Immunity (radiation) [15]. Disadvantages: Appearance (ugly) [-8]; Social Stigma (Mutant) [-15]. Ghoul 25 points Attribute Modifiers: HT +4 [40]. Advantages: Immunity (radiation) [15]. Perk: Brotherhood of Ghouls [1]. Disadvantages: Appearance (hideous) [-16]; Social Stigma (Mutant) [-15]. Morlock 25 points Attribute Modifiers: HT +2 [20] Secondary Characteristic Modifiers: RP +10 [10] Advantages: Infravision [10]. Disadvantages: Social Stigma (Mutant) [-15]. * Vampire 25 points Attribute Modifiers: HT +1 [10] Advantages: Immunity to Disease [10]; Vampiric Bite [30]. Disadvantages: Restricted Diet (Flesh of other sapient beings, fresh; Very Common) [-10]; Social Stigma (Mutant) [-15]. * In the case of Morlocks and Vampires, Social Stigma (Mutant) [-15] can be replaces with Secret (Mutant; utter rejection) [-10]. This increases the value of both templates to 30 points. What do you all think? Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prophane Posted November 28, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted November 28, 2023 (edited) Nice. I have never played Fallout, though I am familiar enough with the IP to understand it. I believe this would be a very popular game to run. 6 minutes ago, Morphling said: RP +10 [10] On the Morlock template, should this be HP (or FP) or is RP something else? I am blanking on what it could be.

RP is an optional rule in After the End which is short for Radiation Threshold Points. It's a simplified version of the radiation rules in the base set.

prophane Posted November 28, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted November 28, 2023 I was thinking it might be some sort of Radiation Points. cool. I have only given After the End a very brief perusal, though I am considering it for my next upcoming home GURPS campaign, considering a Planet of the Apes type game from the point of view of Human survivors.

DM-Tareth Posted November 28, 2023 Clone Share Posted November 28, 2023 I've been pondering a Weird West/Deadlands style campaign centered on a small isolated town. PC's would settle on a certain type of 'crew' to belong to (ie. Union Cavalry, Confederate Scouts, Tribal Raiders, Ranch Crew, Sheriff Deputies, Independent Monster Hunters) and based on that choice get a few hooks and initial opportunities. Then things would flow from there depending on PC actions, choices, successes, and failures. More of a sandbox style with various plot threads running. A second idea might be something very similar to a Band of Blades game but using the GURPS system. Not sure I'm totally sold on this yet, but the idea of a band of mercs on a long retreat through dangerous and hostile territory being pursued by an undead horde could be kind of fun. Neither one will be happening soon as I'm still learning the MW site and will likely be pretty busy given work and the rapidly approaching holidays. Still, I might use the character challenge as an excuse to work up some NPC's. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I LOVE me some Deadlands/ Weird West type games. I would be interested in that. The Band of Blades game sounds dark and bleak. Very cool. Keep kicking around ideas and, yes, the Character Challenge is a great way to build up some characters for an upcoming game, I plan to use it as such!

I'm a new GM and its going kinda choppy at the moment but if you wish to be dealt I think we could work something out.

DM-Tareth Posted November 29, 2023 Clone Share Posted November 29, 2023 @matt_s Sure, I would be up for that if you're in need of another player. Thanks for the invite. I'm still dusting the cobwebs off the old GURPS brain and books, but I could have a character put together within a few days. Send me a link and I'll start tinkering to see what I can some up with.

prophane Posted November 29, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted November 29, 2023 It's the "Illusion of Solace..." game. There's a link to it under the Current GURPS Games section of the Hub here!

DM-Tareth Posted November 29, 2023 Clone Share Posted November 29, 2023 @prophane Thanks. Found it and now that I've got the point totals, I'll drop a character idea over there in the next couple of days.

matt_s Posted November 29, 2023 Clone Share Posted November 29, 2023 Ok if you want in I'll drop an invite tonight. I'll try to deal you in soon as possible Keep in mind that its based on GURPS Lite 4e rules for simplicity (but using kit from GURPS Old West, tables attached under setting). Take your time to get acclimated. Depending on when you are ready to go you could be a survivor hiding in the train or something like that to get you into things right quick. @DM-Tareth Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
