I would not be happy to make the equivalency between 'shots' and 'attacks' without any direction to do so. That text is an accurate description of RoF in non-Lite GURPS too, after all.

I'd rather not either, but I came to a fork and had to make a call. I think my thought process was, "Recoil is gone, but it still gives a RoF number and explicitly mentions firing multiple shots in a round, so until I hear otherwise, rolling for each shot makes the most sense."

Since none of the weapons in Lite have a RoF more than 3, doesn't seem overly cumbersome.

Yeah, with rcl absent you don't have a lot of alternatives, and probably none of them are better.

With the exception of the shotgun. Which also has RoF 2x9 without Lite having mentioned that notation anywhere.

Unrelated to the "New to GURPS" series, I've tweaked my Quick-Start character creation to allow a broader range of power levels (including new character sheets).

A bit late today (doing convention prep for this weekend!), but latest "New to GURPS" post is up -- Your First Recovery, because the world can be a harsh place for adventurers.

I am going to be so popular at the next party I attend.

Due to an annoying chest cold that is kickin' me silly, I wasn't able to post in the "New to GURPS" series this week... I hope you'll indulge me instead as I pull back the curtain on the game prep I did for the "Warriors" game I ran at last weekend's convention.

"New to GURPS" will continue next week with "Your First Actual Play"!

[GM Joe]

I'm sorry to hear about your chest cold. I hope you feel better soon!

[mook]

Thanks! Con Crud is a very real thing, but usually I manage to resist succumbing. Not so much this time. I think I'm finally becoming human again, though.

Part 2 of the "Warriors" game prep is up!

You can also just download all the notes, maps, and character sheets without commentary (under "The Warriors - Complete Package").
