[GURPS Lite] TL8 Time Travelers Go to WW2
Hi SJGames, I was pondering the idea of running a WW2 Time Travel game with a group of new players and I wanted to keep everything simple and rules lite, but I'm woundering is there any sort of must have optional rule or source Book I should keep in mind? Disregarding the obvious like high-tech for guns and 3e's WWII line.
Also any general advice for running a game with gurps lite? |

If the time travel itself is the only paranormal/superscience thing in the campaign, all you should need besides Lite and High-Tech is some cards to act as cheat sheets for things like Aim, that one guy who puts a scope on his rifle, and other combat actions new players haven't memorized yet.

Lite lacks rules for automatic fire. If WWII doesn't feel right without Germans firing Schmeissers, you'll need the Basic rules for autofire handy.

If the characters do not have History or any Expert skill in that relative social science then punish them for noting knowing squat about what is happening.
Many students in some parts of the world have no relevant knowledge to that period because relatives (dads, grandads, uncles etc) were not in the war. So make sure that the players do not assume their characters know anything much about the conflict. |

Also keep in mind TL penalties for using older technology with TL8 skills.
