Re: [GURPS Lite] TL8 Time Travelers Go to WW2
How does black coffee today compare to black coffee back then?
Because I've heard stuff like fast food restaurant coffees nowadays are actually pretty good. |

Think strong, bitter, slightly oily. US military coffee was famous for its strength, caffeine content, and high acid levels. TL 8 habitues of designer coffee houses might have to make Fright or even Stun checks when confronted with the coffee of the era. Quote:

So, apart from coffee.
This is true. But simply say "you get a +1 bonus to hit per 5 ROF" and then your good to go. |

Re: [GURPS Lite] TL8 Time Travelers Go to WW2
I was just looking over the history skill and it doesn't mention wars as a specialization and I was wondering if History (WWII) was kosher. The skill does list eras combined with broad geographical regions as valid and I'd consider History (WWII) to be about as broad in scope as History (20th century Europe) which is explicitly said to be a valid use of the skill.

Re: [GURPS Lite] TL8 Time Travelers Go to WW2
Major wars that shift history should, WW II and the Napoleonic Wars should both qualify, the U.S. Revolutionary War or the Boer War, likely not.

Re: [GURPS Lite] TL8 Time Travelers Go to WW2
People were going on about coffee, so what is the big difference in how coffee is brewed now vs back then during WW2? I'm talking black coffee.
Wass it all done by hand back then for most people living in cities/suburbs or did they buy coffee beans/grains or whatever pre-packaged or what? |
