GURPS Campaigns: Past, Present, and Wishful Thinking
I was thinking for a moment about campaigns I have run in GURPS.
I was thinking for a moment about campaigns I have run in GURPS.
I took a vacation over Labor Day, and also was very head-down launching the new Tower of the Moon product. Here’s what’s happened since then. Delvers to Grow books are all out the door; international orders finally cleared customs in the UK with no small amount of headache and pain. The inns and taverns systemless…
It’s well past time for a GURPSDay! I got caught in major “get the Citadel draft finished” mode, and then I moved. That was much more disruptive than I thought it’d be, and I thought it was going to be very disruptive. But here you go. I went back four weeks this time, both to…
While the song continues “absolutely nuthin’,” and proceeds to say it again, this isn’t so for GURPS. After I posted today’s GURPSDay script pull, someone asked in a seemingly non-trollish way why play GURPS instead of the other seemingly eight billion games out there. It’s a good question. My RPG History Like most, I got…
This last week was about revisions and updates to the Bestiary, plus a bit of inhale-exhale. The project is really close to entering the printing phase, and the focus is on purging errors from the main draft. The last week was primarily about getting to a complete version of the book. That happened on Feb…
The last two weeks have been some severe emotional ups and downs for me. Launch day, then seeing the campaign stagnate for a bit, then a sudden uptick after the SJGames Post to the Girl Genius RPG and maybe some of my mailing list action coming through. And FUNDING! The Bestiary is a go ……

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?
