If GURPS Lite Fourth Edition didn't make mention of skills without actually elaborating on rules of how to use them, then we wouldn't have this problem. I don't remember ever disputing that. |

I expect to be able to run a campaign in any setting, time period and genre.

It's like I'm trying to test-drive a new car with the intention of buying it (or related models), except that it's been stripped down to the bare basics and I only just find this out when I climb into the driver seat. All of the cool features and doo-hickeys advertised are there, they just don't actually work because someone went to the trouble of disabling them but still left them there. So, basically, why are they still there? |

One thing Lite is useful for is as a quick reference for players who don't own the Basic Set, but are playing in a full GURPS game. |

I think running a test adventure (or playing in a test campaign) is a more modest goal and I think you could manage that. Last edited by lachimba; 01-13-2011 at 01:36 AM. |

You could fudge it, you know... saying that with a successful hit in full auto, you get hit by 1d6 bullets, or something... It's quite obvious that a 32-page free booklet will be incomplete if compared to a 500 page book.

I don't have a problem with that, if you want to be specific, don't take the lite version, simple.
If a player wanted a smg and I had only GURPS lite, I would say, take a rifle(for example), and use as if it was one, since a Lite game is made to be simple. |

One couldd use the automatic weapon and shotgun rules from 3e Lite for WWII, if you really wanted rules and didn't want to buy a nook. Sure, they aren't compatible with 4e but they're better than nothing.
