[OOC] The Fall - Transhuman Survival Game (Interest Check)
It is the 6th of August, the year is 3768.
You and several other people are passengers on board one of the vactrain capsules heading from Asia to North America. Although the trip has several stops along the road, this line tends to be fast with the longest trip usually lasting a little over two hours. You might be an adult, a teenager, or a child, but you are nevertheless an ordinary citizen of Earth in the 38th Century; you live a complacent life of luxury where sickness, hunger, and death have been all but forgotten. But this is the day everything changes, for August the 6th, 3768 is the last day in recorded history. Today, the world you have always known will disappear forever. This is the day of the Fall. I've been wanting to do a game like this for a long time. Basically this is a radical hard science fiction apocalypse/post-apocalypse campaign where your characters have to survive and endure the total collapse of civilization. I attempted to run this on another forum, but it received very little interest. Most likely because that forum was mostly geared towards fantasy and the D20 system. Therefor, I decided to try and run it here. :D However, I should note that I'm a novice GM and that I'm new to the GURPS system. Though, I've spent days reading the rules and a few sourcebooks so I feel confident that I have a sufficient grasp of the rules. Anyways, here are some Q&A about the game I want to run: Quote:

Re: [OOC] The Fall - Transhuman Survival Game (Interest Check)

1. You need to find food, water, and shelter. 2. You need to keep yourselves from getting sick or injured. 3. If someone gets injured or sick, then you need to care for them until they get better. 4. You have to deal with desperate people who will attempt to take your stuff. 5. Figuring out how to escape any dangerous situation you might find yourselves in. This will require a bit of details management, but I don't think it'll be so much so as to make it cumbersome. Quote:

Re: [OOC] The Fall - Transhuman Survival Game (Interest Check)
Will you be counting racial disadvantages towards the character cap of -50? I've seen in the gurps dungeon fantasy series they don't but if you do then I will have to go with a different character.
Edit: Because the Racial Template I've come up with already has -70 in disadvantages and looks like this so far... Uplifted Tiger [67] Attribute Modifiers: ST+7[35] -10% SM -40% No Fine Manipulators; DX+3 [36] -40% NFM; HT+1 [10] Secondary Characteristic Modifiers: SM +1; Basic Move+4 [20] Advantages: Extra Legs [5]; Combat Reflexes [15]; Night Vision 5 [5]; Sharp Claws [5]; DR 1 (Tough Skin) [3] Perks: Fur [1]; Sharp Teeth [1]; Temperature Tolerance 1 [1] Disadvantages: Horizontal [-10]; No Fine Manipulators [-30]; Stress Atavism (Mild (12)) [-10]; Increased Consumption [-10]; Restricted Diet (Fresh Meat) [-10] Quirks: Feature (Eats 18 meals every three days) [0] I got most of this from looking at tigers on page 456 of campaigns. While I would like to play him I don't have my heart set on him and could come up with something else. Last edited by Poonbahbah; 11-25-2013 at 02:15 PM. |
