Re: [New Release] GURPS Social Engineering
No-one expects the Spanish Inqui... er, No-one expects Social Engineering!

Re: [New Release] GURPS Social Engineering
I guess that quoting Monty Python here seems like a sign of joy for this release :)
And it's not hard to understand: Social Engineering is a great book and a very useful contribution to the GURPS line.

Re: [New Release] GURPS Social Engineering
the one thing I was surprised was not included was the ability to read minds and how it would effect your social roles...

That said, there are many rules that give you a bonus for awareness of your target's emotional state, and Mind Reading would obviously give you that bonus every time. It's just not called out explicitly, as Empathy, Body Language, etc., are.

Re: [New Release] GURPS Social Engineering
The relevant mentions of Empathy are on pp. 25, 26, 32, 36, 37, 53, 56, and 71. Body Language is mostly nearby. You can find these by typing an appropriate keyword into the search box of your reader.

Adding Powers to the book would have probably added at least a chapter so I understand why it was not included. However how much do you think adding powers, magic, psi, or even wild builds would add to the content of the book? And would there likely be sufficient interest in a followup companion style book for them? And by interest I don't mean just the buyers as its probably too early to judge but author and editorial interest as well. |
