Re: Size of Planet Yrth
I had the impression that they ditched Yrth's White Star outlet with the new edition.

Re: Size of Planet Yrth
Thanks for the replies and info. I'm leaning against running this game on Yrth, now. :)

Re: Size of Planet Yrth
Not related to Yrth, but have you checked out Mindshadows, a d20 India-based setting?

Re: Size of Planet Yrth
Nope. It was originally a Cabal thing back in 3e, but when they made 4e the symbol of the White Star became Infinities, and it actually makes sense, the Cabal would not be operating on Yrth

Re: Size of Planet Yrth
Not fully, but there would be a few Cabalists raiding it for resources. Like Homeline dealing with a similar tech world, it's dangerous but they still have an edge.

Re: Size of Planet Yrth
Not yet, but I will now. Also, regarding your signature: I was recently reflecting that I own twenty-six GURPS supplements, and that I've played GURPS a grand total of once. That was over twenty years ago (Summer '96), and it was a GURPS Supers game. Among those twenty-six GURPS supplements that I own, Supers is not one of them.

Note that Mindshadows is part of the psionics series from Green Ronin (I think). So it integrates psi instead of magic (I think). Edit: Review site I read said it had a companion monster compendium.

Re: Size of Planet Yrth
White Star can also be a collection of stranded Infinity people. You need to do something to make a living and using White Star gives a clue to either later stranded agents/researchers or rescuers as to where to find you.

Re: Size of Planet Yrth
That is a very cool idea. Pick up a name that is not too out there, but still has a definite meaning for people from your own timeline so that they will at least come to check you out.
