Gaming Ballistic - GURPS Content Posts

Erik Tenkar and Tim Shorts have both rendered their opinions on the d30 Sandbox Companion. They loved it. Sure, sure. But it's all for old school gaming, right? If you're not playing a D&D clone, or maybe stretch it to Pathfinder, maybe, you're screwed.

Right?

Not even close.

This should be considered as essential to DF games as DF 3. It's that good. I was awaiting it as much as I have been awaiting DF 16.

GURPS 101: HT and Fatigue Points

We continue the discussion of the basic stats and derived attributes in GURPS with the final pair: HT and Fatigue Points.

Honestly, I'm going to have a hard time with this one, in that I said a lot of what I would otherwise say about HT in my post The Price of Fitness.

Go read it.

Back? Good. Now I'll give you the rest.

What would it take to put two shots through the same hole in GURPS, purposefully?

I've got three interviews worked out! +Kenneth Hite , Richard LeBlank of New Big Dragon Games Unlimited, and +Erik Tenkar, blogger of great renown. Want to see what we'll be talking about?

GURPS 101: Guest Blogger GEF talks Social Traits Part 1 of 4

This is a guest blog column by Geoffrey Fagan. He doesn't have a blog himself, but participate here in the forums under the username GEF.

In the spirit of my open invitation to contribute to Melee Academy and GURPS 101 posts:

The topic for Melee Academy for Feb 6, 2014 will be "Fighting People Better Than You."

Get crackin' on your contribution! Note that while GURPS 101 is rather specific, nothing in Melee Academy mandates that you can't do "fighting people better than you in S&W," or " . . . in Pathfinder," or " . . in Fate."

Looks like things are getting more interesting. Geoffrey Fagan made some notes on Social Traits in GURPS, with three more parts on the way (to appear weekly). Also, Roger Burton-West has started a blog of his own, and has penned an article on Rapid Fire and Shotguns in GURPS 4th edition.

Responding to both!

It was ready early, so here's a present for GURPS-Day. Even though we talk about GURPS hardly at all. Erik Tenkar of Tenkar's Tavern joins me for a about 45 minutes to chat about blogging, gaming, and Kickstarter, among other things. Enjoy!

Thinking a bit about where some of the bullets that don't hit the target go using Rapid Fire. Taking two published GURPS rules and mixing them together like a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup.
