Thanks for the welcome. I'll return the favor as soon as I figure out how. Been reading your blog off and on for the past two months or so and I'm amazed at how often you can update it.

I know all and see all in the GURPS. I am one with the GURPS. I will let the GURPS pass through me. In the end it will be me and my 3d6.

Well, if something exists that generates interesting content, then that is another source of inspiration for myself, so that's a win for me and everyone that reads your blog or mine.
As for the huge amount of posts.... personal challenge to myself to post at least one thing a day for at least a year. It's starting to get hard, but I'm about 2/3 through. Come... December 12, I think, my challenge will be over.

New post!

Plasma Guns, Re-Energized!, Addendum!

In this follow up to Plasma Guns, Re-Energized! I cover some things I cut from that article since it was starting to run long, throw in some things I thought up right after I uploaded the post and wished I came up with before hand and add something that was supposed to have been in it... but I fumbled my IQ roll and forgot >.>

Happy GURPS Day everyone!

Despite my predictions of doom and gloom in my last post I've actually made it! Helps my job let me have a day off for once heh.

In today's post I look over how you can spice up both the gear you players get for their characters and how they actually go about getting it. Do you have any... Brand Loyalty?

Good stuff.

Its probably vital to make sure that the number of quirk/perk combinations is strictly limited to a set number of companies. Otherwise you end up with folks just shopping for the combinations they like and you're back to square 1.

In Brand Loyalty, the Hughes - Martian Fire Arms Inc. is described as being founded by a guy named Mitchell and the company is referred to as Mitchell - Martian Fire Arms Inc. in the text.

The very next company is named Mitchell & Winslow, but no connection is noted.

Are there meant to be two Mitchells, one of which lent his name to the company that eventually became Hughes - Martian Fire Arms Inc. (and is apparently still sometimes referred to as Mitchell - Martian Fire Arms Inc.) and another that was somehow related to Mitchell & Winslow, or might this be a mistake?

Thanks! Glad you liked the post, if I can give some good food for thought I've done my job.

Thanks for pointing that out! Originally Hughes was going to be know as Mitchell but I ended up doing some name swapping. I had it that corrected... but then I accidentally deleted that draft! >.>

I then copy/pasted my back up copy and must of forgot to fix it again.

Gonna fix that right now.
