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

Purchased and played Pandemic with my wife last night. Interesting game. I like the cooperative aspect, so that was cool. She drew the Scientist, I drew the Quarantine Specialist. That was something that was harder to keep track of, and I know that I could have foiled a few outbreaks that I forgot. We had…
From last Friday to this Friday was absolutely crazed. The big news is that we saw a gigantic surge in the last 48 hours of the Kickstarter. It broke every record for me as a personal project. In the end, we came in at 192 pages, nailing some cool Dire Animals, Demons, Slimes, more Animals,…
Thursday is GURPSDay . . . but today on a Friday! This time, GURPSDay comes to you from the Korean Airlines lounge in Incheon, where it’s currently about 7:22am on Saturday morning. That means 4:22pm Friday central time. And also once again, we owe today’s post to the Aline, the Lady GMPC. Below you can find the…
My GURPS Aeon Campaign character was in a bit of a fix. He wasn’t really shining in his designated role of, well, Commander. That was both his name, and his mission, and frankly, his skill set. He’s got an amazing number of points in Wildcard skills. Actually, that’s not exactly true. His breakdown for what…
Dragon Heresy: The Last 48 Hours As always, the last 48 hours of a Kickstarter are crucial. One can frequently match the first two days’ funding totals in the last two days, and for Dragon Heresy, if we did that, we’d be seriously flirting with the big stretch goal at $16,000 for an offset run…
Due to copious lack of time, I’m not going to do a strict review with one post per article, like I prefer to do. I am, however, going to hit each one with my usual method: rating in three categories that boil down to quality writing, quality ideas, and drop-in utility with minimal prep. Destination…

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?
