GURPS Sluggy Freelance

[thastygliax]

Back in 2000, I wrote a GURPS adaptation for the webcomic Sluggy Freelance. It was well received by both Pete Abrams and Steve Jackson, even earning a mention in the Daily Illuminator. However, I eventually drifted away from reading Sluggy and playing GURPS, and I never got around to doing more with it.

I've changed website hosts a couple of times since then, and lost the original files somewhere along the way. But thanks to the magic of the Internet Archive Wayback Machine, I was able to recover that content and have now uploaded GURPS Sluggy Freelance to my current gaming site, Thastygliax's Vault.

Due to the time that's passed since I was up-to-date on either the comic or the system, I have no plans to update this project, but I wanted to be able to share this labor of love again.

Thanks for posting a link to this. I had forgotten about this.

GURPS Casey and Andy is definitely official - I once submitted errata for it through the usual channels, and it was updated accordingly.

Apparently there may be an officially endorsed one for Girl Genius?

I've been lead to believe that that one has been in development hell for years.

We can't get books for every web comic out there - some of them are fanfiction based on works that would cost too much to license.

Of the web comics that aren't fanfiction, I wonder whether Order of the Stick would work as a Dungeon Fantasy sourcebook.

In their pre-Cerebus days, probably. Post "King of Nowhere" plot they deviate strongly with the "back to the dungeon" motif of DF.

Any "screencap" comic is going to be a derivative work, and there's more than a few of those out there. As for hand-drawn works, off the top of my head, Blue Milk Special is blatantly a Star Wars parody - and admitted as such by the creators.
