Default Re: The Film Reroll: an RPG/Film Podcast - using GURPS!

I wanted to like it. I really did, but the first episode is already triggering me.


IMHO you really are not using GURPS RAW.

There's something to be said for house rules and simplifying rules (also I cant see the rules you're using because its story facing rather than rules facing, but I can hear what you roll for and dont)

Strength rolls to pick up someone who likely doesn't way 50kgs? Basic Lift is more relevant. Throwing your back? was there a HT roll there?


I could go through every roll you make (or dont make) and say how I feel it should have been handled under GURPS.

Just seems like the GM is picking rolls (eg ok ST roll to pick up...) and then narrating action. This is one of the things that turned me off other systems and attracted me to GURPS with actual rules for everything)

Best of luck anyway, just because I dont like it that is no reason that you shouldn't succeed
