Re: You are allowed three random GURPS supplements. What's your campaign?
Vampirism, as we know it, seems like a divine curse. But what is a divinity, except an ancient being of power far greater than our own? When alien beings visited Earth circa 500 BCE, they desired a way to leave servants, infiltrators that would monitor our growing civilization, and tear it apart from within. Their brilliant invention, a nanomachine plague, became the stuff of our folklore. Even today, more than 2600 years later, they stalk the corridors of our starships as we reach out into the void. What the aliens didn't expect was that the vampires could someday change, could learn to overcome their predatory nature.
No vampire is completely safe to be near, of course, but today they can be critically important crew members, where their ability to survive in hard vacuum and intense radiation fields can be put to use. But we should have seen it. We should have known! It was obvious! The aliens had obviously visited Earth once! Yet somehow we didn't see it until it was too late. Not until we landed on some steamy tropical world. Not until we stepped foot in frond-filled jungles that were astonishingly earthlike. Not until the crew vanished, one by one, picked off by a hunter skilled at taking down soft, fleshy prey. Not until the bloodless undead were set against the primal terror millions of years removed yet so, so familiar. And after all, there was a reason the aliens proved so good at manipulating Earth life. They'd had a long time to practice on their feathery friends....

Re: You are allowed three random GURPS supplements. What's your campaign?
Almost too easy: The Infinity agent in charge of managing Friedrich knows that he'll never be given the army that's really needed to push the Nazi's off the timeline so when the threat of the Holy Roman Empire grew to be too great he manages to negotiate a treaty to destroy the Empire between France (Including England), Spain and Italy. To counter-balance all the high-tech items that the Nazi's are supplying the Empire he routes all sorts of unusual items that Infinity runs into that he can.
Interestingly enough there motivational poster along these lines somewhere on the 'Net: The groups has World War 2, Furies, and Warehouse 32, guess what the resulting campaign is. For a real challenge: DF1, Mysteries, and Horror. |

Oh, do you mean Antarctic Space Nazis vs. TL2^ to TL2+1^ Minoan/Pelasgian religious castes among pseudo-Celts, Thraco-Dacians, Cycladeans, Anatolians and Scythians?

Re: You are allowed three random GURPS supplements. What's your campaign?
Delvers have been vanishing. That's nothing new, but some of them have been sighted back in Town, apparently as undead. Those undead have slain Holy Warriors of Light, but fled from a young child. The King has sent Sir Clouseau, a master detective and interrogator to solve the mystery. Meanwhile, your debts have been bought up by the Duke, who wants you to keep an eye on Clouseau. What is the Duke hiding? Who is making the undead and what are they?

Re: You are allowed three random GURPS supplements. What's your campaign?
following the clues against the "life drainer", your division came to and old abandoned manor. you passed inside a big arch leading to the lifeless garden, but it leaves you and your squad in another world. Now, to get back home, you have to fight weird monsters, uncanny wizards and a lot of frightful demons. but the luck is on your side, just arriving in the new place you met some strong guy who claims to be from a place called Cimmeria.

Re: You are allowed three random GURPS supplements. What's your campaign?
It has been lots and lots and lots of years since Warrencorp cemented their iron grip over Cunicula. The topmost have made life hard on any that don't conform, cuffs are handed out for any infraction, any slight. You and your crew, a tough group of mavericks have managed to eke out a living in forms or scrapes out in the unbunnicised areas unprotected by the Hooplites; the slums - the dangerous zone near the Bigs and the wooded area full of vermin and wolves.
But you've decided it's time for a change. After one big score you've gotten your chrome, earned your blood, and have decided to raid the King's own Warren! You need to prepare to fight his Warren Watch, sneak past the traps, slice the Cogwork Thinkers, maybe even impress the Queen and cause a coup. However you do it, the King's treasures (or position) are your goal... Your Three: GURPS 4th Monster Hunters 1 Champions GURPS 4th Mars Attacks GURPS 3e Religion |

Just jumping in here, so I'm not sure I'm doing this right, but:
Quote:
"Good morning, Earthling owner of dwelling! Do you have a moment for mind-link transference of literature about our Lord and Savior Yuxazendus?" As the first organization to decode the mysterious digital tracts beamed by approaching Martian vessels, only The Company knew what was coming. ("It's not a cookbook! It's so much worse!") When the invading force came, they were green, bug-eyed, and... polite. Really quite nice, actually. But the Company kept a steely eye on the roving pairs of young Martians who make the rounds of neighborhoods on quaint atomic bicycles. Now it notes with alarm the growing legions of suburban families – and government leaders! – who tune in to alien holoevangelists, whisper of baptisms in dry canals of dust, and turn shining eyes toward the Red Planet. The Company is hell-bent on a secret crusade to righteously kick green ass. Posing as competing neighborhood preachers, their teams of "Decommissionaries" scour the suburbs for fanatic "Promised Planet" followers and their alien ministers, to bring them down to earth with ultra-tech psychotherapy, bioengineered deconversion drugs, and reasoned counterapologetics over a nice cup of tea. (Or, failing that, a searing sermon of hot lead. "Witness THIS, E.T.!") It's up to you now, Team Soldier! The converts are marking calendars with an ominous "X(enu)-mas"; the End Times are coming! Can YOU stand up to the necktied, white-shirted, skull-faced invaders and their photonic proselytizer rays? It's time to win back the hearts, minds, and brains of humanity through the ultimate urban warfare - combat that's truly door to door! After knocking politely, of course.

As there is a great demand for the Chinese goods in Europe, there are convoys of the landcrawlers following essentially the path of the old silk road. The reason for being in convoys is for mutual protection from bandits, for repair services so that each crawler does not have to have their own and such. The actual campaign focuses on a group of school children living in such a convoy and the things they do from the learning to school events to adventures in the exotic towns where they stop. The next three: Hit Spots: Renaissance Venice Gurps Dragons. Transhuman Space: Wings of the Raising Sun. |
