But it is completely usable now. Has a complete enough character sheet that, if you don't get the weird bug that complains about database errors, you can put a full GURPS character in, so that you can roll a skill off the sheet and get the skill's label next to the roll, or the attacks label (no rules automation, but helps the GM keep track of what roll goes with what). So I would say if you can swallow the FG price (and I bought waaay back in the day, the new price is a little daunting, I admit, if all you do with it is GURPS), then nothing should stop you from using the GURPS ruleset with it. It does the job.

Re: Virtual Table Top (VTT) support
I have just got back into RPGs, and would love to see GURPS provide some support for a VTT. I have been using Roll 20, and am disappointed by the lack of a useful character sheet for GURPS on there.

Re: Virtual Table Top (VTT) support
I am 1 of the 2 current authors (neither of us are the original one) for the GURPS Chatterer Sheet (the sheet simply named GURPS).
I, and my coauthor, would welcome any suggestions you would have with this sheet. Join our ongoing Roll20 thread: https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/66...ber-1-thread-1 Please know that we volunteer our time on this sheet and cannot dedicate 8 hours a day to it. Mike P.s. I have sent many requests to Steve Jackson Games for their support of VTT and only once did they reply. They said "We are looking into it". That was a few years ago - nothing ever since.

Re: Virtual Table Top (VTT) support
Roll20 is doing good and the devoted guys, not associated in any official capacity with Roll20 nor SJG, working on the character sheet are making updates to it all the time.
Although SJG does not officially support any VTT, and it looks like they never will, GURPS works great in Roll20 IMO.

Re: Virtual Table Top (VTT) support
The latest version of GCS added support to export to the Fantasy Grounds ruleset.

Re: Virtual Table Top (VTT) support
Hi gentlemen, I am a frequent goer of Fantasy Grounds forums, we are currently in the Beta Closed version of Unity and the best thing is that all material is retro compatible, I use the GURPS ruleset for it and it works very well, although I am looking forward to the improvements listed, I know the Roll20 works fine, but this is not the platform but a way to have a streamline for us and even more we can have materials (supplement books) for both of us. platforms facilitating the creation of encounters, item acquisition, character creation can be done directly on platforms and / or programs such as GCS or GCA.

Re: Virtual Table Top (VTT) support
Just noticed that in the 7th printing of GURPS Basic Campaigns, Jan 2020, SJ Games finally mentioned Virtual Tabletops.
Unfortunately they do not comment much except they singled out someone for a 'heroic fan effort' at making something in Fantasy Grounds. That is very unfair to the great people working hard on the GURPS Character Sheet in Roll20. Their effort has been nothing short of what those have done for Fantasy Grounds. The only difference is the people doing the work in FG have made a You Tube video of what they are doing and invited SJ Games to have a look. It is really sad, IMHO, that SJ Games is not into supporting the VTTs. They are missing a growing industry. Roll20 already has over 4 millions members, much greater than any other VTT. There is now even a more promising VTT called Foundry that proposes to be even more configurable and user friendly. Just my opinion is all.

Re: Virtual Table Top (VTT) support
I, and the other author of the GURPS Character Sheet in Roll20, will continue to update the sheet even if SJG does not support it.
It does hurt a little they did not mention the work we have done specially after we have been positing in this forum for some time about VTTs.
