Manor #8: Follow Me and Die likes grappling

Bygamingballistic

This review of Manor #8 by Follow Me and Die might be the nicest review I’ve ever received for something I’ve written.

I think this system is what we have been needing for a simple mechanic for grappling, that makes grappling an option players would choose. Various options and outcomes that are realistic in grappling are discussed and addressed. While not perfect, I can’t think of how else to handle it without building yet another new subsystem just for grappling. This is simple enough that it can easily be implemented at your next session. I know that I will use it, if I need to resolve a grappling issue.

Thanks to the proprietor of the blog, and I sincerely hope he enjoys it! I’m sure +Peter V. Dell’Orto and +Tim Shorts will be pleased to see it as well!

Zoned “mapless” combat for GURPS

I’m blog-stalking +Peter V. Dell’Orto these days. You should too. He’s penned a few posts on mapless combat for GURPS that got me thinking, again, of borrowing concepts from other games. In this case, the concept of Zones from Fate. Zones are a nice, abstract way of thinking about who’s where in a narrative game. You can fight…

Designer’s Notes – On Target (Pyr #3/77)

Bygamingballistic

Am I bound and determined to revisit and rewrite every GURPS rule?  No. But in writing Technical Grappling, I became very taken with effect rolls, in the vein of hit points and control points. The general progression of a hit roll followed by an effect roll is familiar and favored by gamers. Personally, I like…
