101 campaign ideas that can be done with only GURPS lite

[David Johnston2]

The Stuff Heroes Are Maid Of: The PCs are the long suffering and very stealthy house staff of an unobservant rich twit who likes to wear a cape and go out and fight crime. Without letting him know that they know, they must find the bad guys, drop maps to the secret lair in front of him, sabotage the defenses of the lair, knock out opponents while he isn't looking, rescue him from death traps, ensure he never has a chance to succumb to the fiendish charms of Femme Fatale and perform general house cleaning duties. But not windows. Those windows haven't been cleaned in over a century. Fortunately he likes it gloomy.

23) Soap Opera. It's perverse, but I'd like to try it someday. Gotta find the right group though, because that's pretty much all social interaction.

I think it's a stretch to do this with Lite only... I would use the Basic Set+Social Engineering...

24] any of the above eras plus Elder Gods (or does each era count as a separate campaign?)
25] The Coffee Shop Pals - contemporary, a life very ordinary but high in accidental comedy
26] 4 pals and a dog, in a van, against creepy crime

With all due respect to a product I helped playtest...what for? A mundane soap opera has no need for expanded social rank tables, reference societies, or an explanation of how to search a city.

27: A group of young friends wake to a world in which everyone over the age of 16 has disappeared over night.

28: Similarly "Lord of the Flies" the rpg.

29: The heroes believe themselves to be in a medieval village, but gradually discover that they're on a fully automated generation ship, which is mere weeks away from reaching the alien planet of its destination.

I have a friend in prison who plays D&D, but I've been trying to convince him to run SEALS in Vietnam vs the Walking Dead. Could you really run it with just SEALS and everyone else having Lite?

Lite doesn't provide zombies, so, you'd need to make something up. Key traits that you'd normally use for a zombie, such as Injury Tolerance, are also missing, so you'd need to create a house rule for the way the zombies take damage.

However, you'd get by with something simple like ST 11, HT 11, DX 8, IQ 8, Will 12, High Pain Threshold, DR 3, and "wounding modifiers do not apply". Then everything else is 'like a zombie'.
