Shub-Niggurath Posted January 24 Clone Share Posted January 24 (edited) Basic Hook Characters are freelance investigators working presently for Symbicort Investigations. Character builds should be geared towards filling a specific role within the group. You may wish to discuss this in OOC before building your individual characters, I'll leave that up to you. The game itself will start in London, UK, Earth and the year is 2090. Character Specs (Using the GURPS 4th Edition Rule Set) Sourcebooks: GURPS Basic Set Characters and Campaign, GURPS Transhuman Sourcebooks and GURPS Transhuman Space Changing Times, GURPS Ultra-Tech, GURPS Bio-Tech, GURPS High-Tech and GURPS Action Heroes 250 points -75 Disadvantages 5/-5 Points Perks and Quirks TL 10 That's the basic for you, any character build questions? Please feel free to post the here or in the OOC.

dalamb Posted January 24 Clone Share Posted January 24 What sourcebooks are allowed? I don't have anything on Transhuman Space as far as I know, but am willing to consider buying whatever you think is necessary.

Shub-Niggurath Posted January 24 Author Clone Share Posted January 24 (edited) Hi dalamb, I was just going to add that now. I will be making some pre-generated characters in the next few days, if that helps? If you wanted we could discus your ideas and I could build you a character to suit?

dalamb Posted January 24 Clone Share Posted January 24 Wow, there are a lot of Transhuman Space sourcebooks. I think I can spring for Transhuman Space Classic and maybe Transhuman Space Changing Times, but are any of the others essential for this campaign? I do have GURPS Basic Set Characters and Campaign, GURPS Ultra-Tech, GURPS Bio-Tech, but not GURPS High-Tech and GURPS Action Heroes Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudra Posted January 25 Clone Share Posted January 25 hello, could you explain a bit more the game hook? the main post say Quote "Characters are freelance investigators working presently for Symbicort Investigations. Character builds should be geared towards filling a specific role within the group. " can you give 5-6 examples of roles that need to be covered? what kind of investigators are they? do they primary work in a city? travel around a country? travel around a continent? the world? does their work bring them to the colonies? are they forensic accountant investigators was primary risk is a papercut or is it closer to sherlock holmes where a fistfight is possible and a gunfight isnt completely out of question? or maybe they are like blade runner, were fighting should be expected? Is symbicort investigations a big or small company? would you describe it as good/honest/reliable or as shady/greedy/heartless? could you give 2 or 3 examples of jobs a team of pc could be sent to? The 250 points and inclusion of the action book suggest a somewhat cinematic game, are there forbidden disadvantages/skills? Do you plan to use a map for combat or go mapless?

Hi Rudra, thank you for your questions. I'm busy tonight at a tabletop game I play, that said I will answer your questions either tomorrow evening or Saturday. Again thanks for your interest and I look forward to talking more. Kind Regards Shub Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamech Posted January 27 Clone Share Posted January 27 I'm thinking the computer person. Not a computer that is a person, but the person that preemptively hacks everything. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fnord72 Posted January 29 Clone Share Posted January 29 Since we all work for a corporation, are we able to consider the company as a patron, and with an accompanying duty? I'd be happy with the tech or the medic. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caffeine11 Posted March 16 Clone Share Posted March 16 It has been a while. I was thinking of a security specialist type. Security systems and alarms, locks, sensors. Physical security, breaking and entry. Perhaps prior military intelligence or spec-op support experience. A guy who knows a guy for that problem.
