I just discovered GURPS Repository, while watching one of the GURPS 4e Game Aid for Foundry VTT videos. I will be contributing characters, items, and whatnot.

Is linking GURPS Character Sheet (GCS) … er… sheets to my contributions allowed? I think this would be useful for other GMs and players.

Also, I am concerned my online resources may change and links may be broken. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for responses.

Hmm… apparently, I can't post links until I raise my karma.

Gads! The Wikidot karma thing is a moving target that is recalculated every "few days." Unless there is another option, this post may be mote.

Hand weapons would of course have their Name, Damage, Reach, Parry, Cost (which would also be the item's sale value), Weight and Notes (such as how many hands it requires) listed on the sheet, but also the skill needed to use the weapon (along with any defaults for related skills) as well as any special properties it may have (follow up effects on hit for example).

Ranged weapons would have their Name, Damage, Acc, rage, RoF, Shots, ST, Bulk, RcL, LC, Cost, Weight and Notes as well as a skill, but would also have a cost and weight for the ammunition they use, if any. As well as a special properties section.

Armor and wearable equipment would have a location it goes on, a Damage Resistance, a cost, a weight and maybe other details such as the SM of creature it was made to be worn by (a dwarven helm would be SM-1) and of course any other properties it might have (a magic armor might have an Aura effect for example)

Shields would have a Damage Resistance, a Defense bonus and a notes section similar to armor, with a section for notes (a buckler for example does not take up the use of the hand its strapped to)

Consumables could have their cost, weight, method of use (like drinking for a potion, throwing at the ground for a smoke bomb etc) effects, and any skill rolls needed to identify or use the item (Alchemy might be needed to determine what a potion you found does for example) as well as uses (a magical item may have few charges before it becomes inert etc).

Pricing would be easy enough, you could base the value of a magical item off the "Buying Magic Items" on page 20 of GURPS Magic, use the retail prices for new inventions in the basic set for higher tech stuff, gadgeteering price guides for really high tech items and for really complex items you could always treat 1 character point as $1000 GURPS dollars when building something thats an equipment based version of an advantage like affliction or innate attack.

I really believe that Gurps Ultra-Lite is a more worthy successor, with its straightforward simplicity to The Fantasy Trip than is the parent game, Gurps.

That being the case or not, The lack of a magic/psi system and the lack of monsters and foes are both common complaints about GU-L.

I've created a very simple addition to the Gurps Ultra-Lite game that, in my opinion, cures this with only two pages (double sided). I don’t think they violate the Gurps Ultra-Lite schtick of only a single page of rules, as they are more setting oriented -and thus belong in the GM’s campaign notes- rather than as player handouts. In short, it turns Gurps Ultra-Lite into somewhat more of a playable rpg by adding in a magic/psionic/superpowers system (really just a brief variation on the professions) and by adding in brief stats and notes for monsters.

I would like to find a way to add this to the site, or at least get it to the mods, but I can barely navigate Facebook. Any help would be appreciated.

This does have the moral problem of making the books less important but it would be nice to have a quick index through base rules and the extra rules and modifiers from different books.

It also will take more effort to implement, and leads to the decision of: opening boxes, cramping the UI; or having a big chunk of descriptive text next to each and every entry, which both makes the page very long and not really an index anymore.

Anyway, I just discovered there is actually no page for talents, either those in books or home-made. Are you ever going to make one?

• Issue, with number and title, maybe an explicit theme if the title is snappy rather than explanatory
• Article name and page number
• Author name
• Topic, if possible to summarize, and if it the article pertains to a specific GURPS subline (e.g., Dungeon Fantasy) or subsystem (e.g., Ritual Path Magic)

Speaking of RPM, you'll want pages for its crunch, as well as those of Divine Favor, Path/Book Magic (I'm going through the Pyramids I have, and there's more pertaining to this than I remembered), Sorcery, Imbuements, and so on, as well as power-ups, at some point. Right now, I'm skipping gear since that will take way too much time, far more than entering all of GURPS Magic. This is for the future, when we get a handle on the core things.

Thalassogen, I've moved your Stink Trap to the appropriate category.

Thanks!

Thalassogen, I've moved your Stink Trap to the appropriate category.

Oh, and I've promoted you to admin here as well, so that you can ban spammers and revert entries to earlier revisions - much less work than editing individual lines.

Thanks for cleaning up again, Jurgen.

Well to hell with you then

As I say, it's a nit-pick. And I suppose I just want to beef up the NPC section. Either way, she's a good nasty character.

Even if you don't do anything more than that, this is still a wiki - someone else might just continue the work on the setting.

Mimsey Grant is a "best friend" type supporting character for a Modern-Day Supernatural campaign; an "apprentice witch" who has inherited a magical bookstore from her sorcerous grandfather and is learning the magic arts from the store's cat (who in fact is her grandfather)

Major John Jeroboam Hunter is a clockwork cyborg fighter for a Steampunk campaign; a veteran of the Indian Wars who had the body parts he lost in combat replaced by mechanical prosthetics.

Do they seem like workable characters? Do their stats hang together? Is there a better way to build them? Should I post more? I'm interested in reading feedback.

1. the need to "open a jumppoint" to enter and exit hyperspace,
2. the ability to loiter at the same relative position to the nearest strong gravity well in normal space without power (subject to gravitic drift), and
3. the ability to detect other ships and maneuver relative to them and fixed hyperspace landmarks (ie. "jumpgate beacons").

As the above characteristics seemed to make dramatic sense in Babylon 5, I decided to incorporate some of them in my personal hyperspace rule set¹, with a few variations. For an example of a ship constructed using these rules, see the Pathfinder class Mobile Jump Gate. If anyone is interested, I will add a page here describing the setting in more detail.

with that said I handle magic in a unique way I think. to make is flow easy I make rolls and levels of magic based on college skill but where i deviate from normal games I make the players attain gains in play.
they first must find a school of the arts in a town or city then attain membership either by payment or quest then achieve gaining colleges by raising in grades that is part of the schools curriculum. various masters in the schools are in charge of the different colleges. http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/valahn-fantasy-grounds/wikis/magic

it is nothing special but i have found it to be a very fun way of adding vibrancy to my game world.
