GURPS Day Summary June 3 – June 9, 2016

Thursday is GURPSDay, and as of today, GURPSDay is about six months old. Oh, and it’s also my 15-year anniversary. That picture there to the right is probably from 2000 or 2001, when we got engaged. A long road and two children later, we’re still here, and I’m gaming more than ever, so something must have worked.

And something else worked too, because thanks to the mad programming skills and debugging savvy of the proprietor of RPG Jutsu, we finally got TBone’s GURPS Diner on the rolls. Turns out the site was rejecting the wget request, and Merlin did something to make our request for that data look nicer. I think the command was something like wget -whiskey -filetmignon.

But we got ’em all, and some new bloggers are on the list, including Martin Ralya and his Yore blog, as well as a feed to Shane Plays – he does podcasts. To celebrate, I’m giving you the last 25 posts for all the blogs on the list. So buckle up, because we’ve got 50 blogs now.

As always, if you’re interested in having your blog consolidated here, navigate over to The Instructions Page and drop me a line.

Gaming Ballistic (Douglas Cole)

• GURPS Day Summary June 3 – June 9, 2016 (6/09/16)
• Aeon Campaign S2E9 – Trust and Betrayal (6/07/16) – In S2E9 of the Aeon Campaign, we complete the fight that we set up at the end of Episode 8, having taken it out from the populated area in the cafe and arranged to move it to a more friendly arena. By the end of the fight, we’ve captured and arrested three, including the primary, and turned two more to our side. Eamon and Yukio (PC and NPC ally) are badly injured.
• Reloading Press: .50 BMG (12.7x99mm) (6/06/16) – This installment of the Reloading Press brings you the legendary .50 BMG. Almost defining the genre of big-bore rifles and “I’ll take overpowered rifles for $200, Alex” in the hands of most PCs, these powerful cartridges can reach out for well over a mile and still penetrate pretty serious armor. Some of the longest and most accurate shots in the world have been taken with this platform.
• GURPS Day Summary May 27 – June 1, 2016 (6/02/16)
• Transcript: Hunter and PK talk After the End (6/02/16) – Thursday is GURPSDay, and a little bird provided me with this sweet, sweet transcript of the SJGamesLive interview of PK Levine by Hunter Shelburne, talking about After the End a lot, and GURPS in general a bit. It’s 10,000 words long, so there’s a lot there!
• Reloading Press: .600 Nitro Express (15.7x76mmR) (6/01/16) – The Reloading Presss brings you the monster .600NE (and briefly discusses it’s larger cousin, the .700NE). You can do more damage, more accurately, at higher rates, with lower platform cost with any number of modern weapons and chamberings. But you won’t be sporting a $150,000 rifle that is a work of art, either. So you make the call . . .
• Aeon Campaign S2E8 – Countdown to freedom (5/31/16) – In S2E8 of the GURPS Aeon campaign, we reap the benefits of last week’s plans. Our goal is to delay our quarry from finding out that the entire session last time was a distraction to get his abused wife into witness protection. We succeed, he gets royally pissed off, and at the last moment attempts to attack us in a public place with three powerful metahumans. We withdraw, taking the fight to an unpopulated area . . .
• Sensible Master Plans redux (5/29/16) – When working on master plans for both good guys and bad guys, or even talking about courses of action for a team to pursue, make sure that you can answer six questions that show you’re working towards success. Better start by defining success, then . . .
• That was too easy (stories are conflict) (5/26/16) – Everything went our way in S2E7 of the Aeon Campaign. I’ve had that backfire before on me as a GM. When is total success a good game, and when is it boring? Why was THIS smooth sail a ripping success?
• GURPS Day Summary May 20 – May 26, 2016 (5/26/16)
• Aeon Campaign S2E7 – The Best Laid Plans . . . (5/24/16) – Aeon S2E7 has our heroes come up with a plan, execute the plan, and actually overachieve in the objectives of the plan as all the players pitch in successfully to make the plan even better. We spend bucketloads of karma doing so, but in the end, it’s a perfect mission. At least for now.
• GURPS Day Summary May 13 – May 19, 2016 (5/19/16)
• Aeon Campaign S2E6 – Breaking up is hard to do (5/17/16) – In S2E6 of the Aeon Campaign, we continue to investigate Congressman Singleton at the behest of our mostly-criminal associate. We successfully dig up some dirt, are obviously seen doing so, and come to the conclusion we’ve kicked over quite the anthill.
• Reloading Press: .380 ACP (9x17mm) (5/16/16) – The reloading press presents the .380 ACP. When you’re looking for a concealable, accurate pistol, for 100 years the answer was found in the .380 ACP. Still considered one of the lowest-powered ‘acceptable’ self-defense chamberings by some (and dangerously underpowered by others), it’s hard to argue with a weapon you can hide in the palm of a hand!
• GURPS Day Summary May 6 – May 12, 2016 (5/12/16)
• Aeon Campaign S2E5 – Relationship status: complicated (5/10/16) – In S2E5 of the Aeon Supers campaign, we get a visit from an old friend of Eamon’s, a super who suffered extreme injuries in the Riker’s Island breakout. He’s looking for a miracle – fortunately he used to date one, but they’re on the outs. We get a proposition that very much has more to it than meets the eye.
• Reloading Press: .416 Barrett (10.6x83mm) (5/09/16) – If you need to reach out over a mile and touch someone, and have thousands of dollars to spare, consider the .416 Barrett from your platform of choice. It hits for 12d and the right rifle and ammo will deliver basically Acc 7 . . . so this is a serious platform for serious shooters.
• May is GURPSDay recruitment month (5/07/16) – GURPSDay is great – but it could be more. Get the word out, sign up, and generally let’s try and get 100 blogs on the list by the end of May!
• GURPS Day Summary April 29- May 5, 2016 (5/06/16)
• We all have it coming, kid (5/05/16)
• Reloading Press: .224 BOZ (and 10mm APDS) (5/04/16) – After some discussions offline about how to get the most body-armor-defeating punch out of a pistol, I come to the realization that when comparing extreme bottleneck rounds like the .224 BOZ with saboted rounds like the very same cartridge launched from a 10mm APDS . . . you really want the APDS. In GURPS, anyway.
• Aeon Campaign S2E4 – Endgame and near-disaster barely averted (5/03/16) – This session was more or less an exercise in how not to tackle a super-genius super-soldier who has anticipated our every move. Fortunately, the Foresight advantage exists, and I had the Karma points to completely ret-con the situation to our advantage. So victory, but honestly we didn’t deserve it from where I was sitting. This is also my 800th post on Gaming Ballistic
• Aeon Campaign: S2E3 – Rescue (5/03/16) – This is a session report by one of the other players in the Aeon game, since I was in Malaysia. The team diffuses a lot of bombs, and eventually recovers the kidnapped Commander, only to find out that the entire kidnapping was a complete diversionary tactic. Who was the real target? It was . . .
• GURPS Day Summary April 22- April 28, 2016 (4/29/16)
• Lessons from Monteporte (4/24/16) – Two thoughts brought about from a D&D post that have broad applicability. Tangible play-aids help keep track of stuff in ways that a sheet of paper does not. And even player character have a sell-by date . . . or they should.

Mailanka’s Musings (Daniel Dover)

• The Faith of Psi Wars (6/08/16) – A look at what worked and what didn’t with the Force as Divine Favor, what we could do to make Divine Favor look more like the Force, and what Psi-Wars might look like if we let the Divine Favor be Divine Favor.
• The Other Side of Space Faith (6/07/16) – Additional powers for Divine Favor, to make it feel more like the Force, and a look at how the Dark Side might work in a system with Divine Favor
• The Faithful Space Knight (6/06/16) – A look at how Divine Favor works, what 50 points of Divine Favor would get you, and what a Space Knight with Divine Favor might look like
• The Force as Divine Favor (6/05/16) – A look at the pros and cons of using the Divine Favor powers framework as the basis for the Force
• The Tao of Psi Wars (6/01/16) – Having examined several aspects of the Force as Chi, I analyze what worked, what didn’t, how we could change Chi to look more like the Force, and what Psi-Wars might look like if we embraced Chi as written.
• The Five Sides of Space Chi (5/31/16) – Having seen the limitations of Cinematic Skills as a basis for the Force, I take a look at Chinese Elemental Powers as a basis for a Chi-Based Force Framework, as well as examine the elemental associations of Star Wars. Features new powers!
• The Kung Fu Space Knight (5/30/16) – Wherein I examine Cinematic Skills as the basis for the Force, look at what they can do, what they can’t do, and see what 50 points of such skills will get us, as well as what such Space Knights might look like
• The Force as Chi (5/29/16) – Wherein I discuss Daoism and Star Wars and kick off a series where I’ll look at Cinematic Skills and Chinese Elemental Powers as a basis for the Force in Psi-Wars
• The Secret Magic of Psi Wars (5/25/16) – where I take a look at what worked, what didn’t work, with magic, how we can adjust magic to make it work more like the Force, or how we can adjust the Psi-Wars setting to better take advantage of Magic-As-Written
• The Other Side of Space Magic (5/24/16) – Black magic as the Dark Side, Meditative magic as the Light Side, some additional spells divided up between light and dark side, “Psionic Attunement” as enchantment, and the force of DESTINY!
• The Magical Space Knight (5/23/16) – We look Magic-As-Psi, see what the spells look like, what 50 points will get you, and what a space knight using spells might look like
• The Force as Space Magic (5/22/16) – This week, I take a look at the Force as Magic. I discuss the benefits and the problems of such an approach, and I introduce the “Magic as Psi” article, written by David Pulver, as a basis for treating the Force as Magic
• The Mysterious Power of Psi Wars (5/18/16) – I look at the problems that have cropped up in depicting the Force as Psionic Powers, discuss how to adjust psionic powers to look more like the Force, or what Psi-Wars might look like if we tossed the Force out the window and just went crazy with Psionic Powers
• The Other Side of Psi (5/17/16) – We look at how to model the Dark Side of the Force in psionics (though this particular discussion is more philosophical than metaphysical), we look at psionic edge-cases (Anti-Psi, Eletrokinesis, Psychic Vampirism and Psychic Healing), we talk about Psi-Tech in Star Wars, and we discuss how to model some of the more dramatic feats of Star Wars
• The Psionic Space Knight (5/16/16) – Continuing our look at Psionic Powers As the Force, I take a look at the three “prime” psionic abilities: ESP, Telepathy and Psychokinesis. I note particularly appropriate or useful abilities, and discuss what 50 points of those abilities might look like

Game Geekery (“Warren “”Mook”” Wilson”)

• Gina Marie’s Gun Emporium (6/08/16) – Something a little different this week– a write-up of a small business, Gina Marie’s Gun Emporium, actually a modern front for gunrunning and selling illegal weapons. Includes a basic map of the premises, details of the locale, and stats for the major NPCs.
• “Beware the Boogeyman,” Post-Con Wrap Up (6/01/16) – A short wrap up of how my “Beware the Boogeyman” game played out at Gamex 2016, differences between the various player groups, and the final version of all the materials for anyone who wants to run it themselves.

• Creating “Beware the Boogeyman” – Part 3 (5/11/16) – In Part Three, the final post of “Creating Beware the Boogeyman,” the last three pre-gen PCs are completed, the six encounters written out, and the few remaining details to be done put on a list.

• Creating “Beware the Boogeyman” – Part 2 (5/04/16) – In Part Two of “Creating Beware the Boogeyman,” I start shaping some of the broad choices made in Part One into more detailed, game-ready items that can be used to actually run the game at the table… specifically, As another convention approaches, I am hastily prepping my game. This time around it is a tale of the magical protectors who keep children safe from nightmares and evil as they sleep, and I continue the “Adventure Creation” series by talking about how that game goes from the spark of an idea to a ready-to-run adventure.

Just Roll 3d6 (Colin)

• How Broad is Your Wildcard Skill? Using Inventory Rolls to Model Skill Breadth (6/01/16) – This post explores a house rule for determining whether marginally-related skills are really included within a wildcard skill.

This post introduces the idea of adjusting the granularity to strike that balance.
