September 14, 2013: GURPS On Gaming Ballistic

Sean Punch
Douglas Cole over at Gaming Ballistic has an extensive interview with Sean Punch, the line editor for GURPS. Among other things, they discuss GURPS‘ strengths, weaknesses, and quirks, compare and contrast it to other systems out there, talk about realism, and discuss the Rule of Awesome. It’s a good interview; go watch it!

— Leonard Balsera

While you’re here, you should stroll around the place, check out the GURPS Melee Academy, roll around on The Grappling Mat, or brows the (incomplete but working on it) Pathfinder overview, and buy my book.

Welcome, and thanks for visiting!

Earlier this year, my little tradition got noticed by +Phil Reed, and he was sufficiently enthusiastic that…

Bygamingballistic

Sometimes it goes right, and sometimes it doesn’t. So, let’s talk about another show that started out one of my favorites, and then . . . faded. The re-imagined Battlestar Galactica. First, a few words about GURPS BSG. There was a short thread on it in the SJG Forums, but I’ll ignore it for a…

Sticking it to ’em: Impaling Damage Type in GURPS

Bygamingballistic

This is a bit of a design gripe, though I don’t know if any of my potential solution brainstorms are worth the hassle of doing anything about it. Still, we’re all entitled to a few disgruntled moments over not much, right? I’m not a big fan of the impaling damage type. There are two benefits to…
