GURPS Campaigns: Past, Present, and Wishful Thinking
I was thinking for a moment about campaigns I have run in GURPS.

We just pillaged the $20,000 stretch goal for 128 pages. This makes me happy. Not the least reason for which is the unfinished draft lays out at 115 pages on a 112-page budget. So . . . I don’t have to cut anything. Thank you all for making this my strongest Kickstarter ever. As both Dungeon…
Hicks: I wanna introduce you to a personal friend of mine. This is an M41A pulse rifle. Ten millimeter with over-and-under thirty millimeter pump action grenade launcher. Hicks: [Hicks hands the rifle to Ripley] Feel the weight. Ripley: Okay. What do I do? The M41 is iconic. It defines the look and feel of one…
This is a word-for word repost of a blog post by “The Chaotic GM.” He’s a Patreon member of mine, and I’ve been part of several forums he’s been on (SJGames, Discord, my own Gaming Ballistic forum on Discord, etc) for a while. He always gives great, constructive feedback. He’ll tell you what he likes, and what needs to change. So, without…
Over at The Troll Dens, +Stephen Chenault links to this image of a fortified town. City of Carcassonne, photographed by air, south-west France. This fires up my imagination something fierce. He notes that this is what the dragon sees as he decides to get take-out. True, true. The thing that gets me is just how cool…
Been quiet this week, so I apologize for that. The cause? My wife is in Italy for the annual Hwa Rang Do world tournament and black sash seminars – in addition to being a PhD in Wastewater Treatment, she’s also a martial arts instructor. Yes, she’s a badass. What that means, though, is I have…

I'm really interested in your notes on porting the Deed of Paksenarrion religious background. Did it include the later books or just the original trilogy? I personally would LOVE to have a companion book on the setting, or even a roleplaying sourcebook for it (that is, a setting companion book+roleplaying stats)
(FYI, there is a prequel duology detailing Gird's life, and a sequel trilogy, set just after the events in the original trilogy. I favor the sequel trilogy, but the prequel duology is quite decent. Both add a lot of information on magic in the setting, specially on the old magery.)
Huh. Posted a reply and Google ate it.
Short version: I'm sure I don't have those notes anymore. I mainly stole Gird, the Marshals and the organization structure. The other gods and knightly orders were really good too, though.
I've read all the Paks stories (eight of 'em?) and they were good but uneven.
Yeah, 8 of them. You're right that the quality is uneven, but the world is really compelling.
Too bad you lost your notes… Then again, for me, the neat thing was not just the girdish followers, but how the different orders and "saints" (because Falk, Gird, etc are more like saints than gods) interplay.
Also, on google eating the post, are you sure you filled the abominable captchas properly? I've lost a few posts because it seems that I had a character wrong or something, didn't realize it, and simply closed the tab…
If we could reasonably telecommute you in, you'd be welcome in my game. I just can't figure out how we'd do it.
Spare laptop, wide-angle webcam, and Google Hangouts or Skype, baby!
I had forgotten the Black Ops game. All I remember now was an alien crash site, where we had to run underground to fight some aliens. Thanks. Any chance of my old character sheet lying around?
