Mailanka's Musings -- GURPS Content Post
Alright, not really, or at least not yet, but this year I'm planning on putting out one GURPS post a week, every Wednesday. I've been working last year to create the material I wanted to show off, and the results are in this year.
I have the announcement up here, including the topics I'll be tackling. I understand that it's permissible to advertise your blog here, provided it has GURPS content. I hope that noting that something will shortly have GURPS content is also acceptable. The first post is already scheduled, and the first four are already written. I wanted to reserve my digital space here, as well as make the announcement.

One of the things that popped out of my work there is that TL 12 is ultimately the catch all "More advanced than TL 11" stuff, so everything from slightly more advanced (gamma-ray lasers) to ridiculous (tachyon shotguns) get lumped into one TL, so I discuss how to approach the tech level without having the sense that you're "at the end of science."

Re: Mailanka's Musings -- GURPS Content Post
That's exactly why I'm wary. With TL12 weapons, people are more likely to be pink mist than wounded. Particularly the unarmoured types like Han Solo or lightly armoured ones like Commander Shepard. Unless you nerf the weapons TL to less than 12 due to also having such worries.

Re: Mailanka's Musings -- GURPS Content Post
Higher TL combat can be mildly dangerous I've noticed . . . . last session 2 PCs duked it out (or rather, shamelessly ambushed) 8 enemies of fairly good caliber, at TL 9-11 (various)
6 of 8 enemies died in the surprise round, one of the two surviving enemies in the first real round of combat lived long enough to attack and wounded near to death check one of the party members (39 damage after all mods, when 40 was needed for death check), before being slaughterized by her counter Everyone that took a hit was wearing a commando battlesuit (and the PC also had a riot shield) Pretty much . . . armor helps immensely vs things that cannot crack armor, and forces people to use attacks which CAN crack armor, but those attacks which can crack armor can still kill you very dead. But usually the armor cracking attacks tend to have other drawbacks, 40mm grenade launchers flinging HEMP or HEAT are effective armor crackers, but have low ammo capacity and short ranges and low acc and such |

As a note, I've heard so many awesome things about CBR I am certainly interested in seeing more of it

Suffice it to say, I have lots and lots of word count surrounding Ultra-Tech, it's strengths and its weaknesses.

Re: Mailanka's Musings -- GURPS Content Post
My inaugural post is up, so please pardon the soap box as I discuss why you should create your own setting instead of convert one that already exists.
And I wanted to thank you guys for your warm response, and let you know that from now on, I'll be posting on Thursday, in keeping with Douglas Cole's "GURPS Day."
