Re: other potential ATE, DF, MH OR Action series?

Then there's this project which, as I've mentioned, is more FTL meets Masters of Orion 2 meets Star Trek meets Farscape. I just haven't had time to finish any of these because of work and school and moving and divorces and other GURPS campaigns (Cherry Blossom Rain! Which numerous people have also asked for the notes on, but I've been unable to produce them). Like I said, today is my last day with school and the rest has settled down, so I'd like this to be the Summer of Writing GURPS **** Down. I might even produce a Pyramid article or two.

I would love to see a Cabal series with the PCs playing vampires, werewolves, wizards, ghosts and faerie just like the World of Darkness. Maybe also throw in some Cthulhu stuff there as well.

Seconded! As the Cabal is part of the Infinate World's setting, a Cabal setting with details on the Cabal viewpoint and how they see the multiverse, would be both grand in and of itself and good for the IW line. (And the IW line needs developement too).

Your science problem could be resolved using BAD with a list of modifiers for various terms. Tat helps with the mechanics and a stuck player but really the solution is creative players. If another player then the Science guy is the creative type there is precedent for that too. Farscapes guy made suggestions that others made work. Eureka is an even funner example, he typically came up with the idea but someone else had to build it. |

Re: other potential ATE, DF, MH OR Action series?
Im interested by the idea of a Space Opera type version of DF, Action, MH. I make no claim on it being viable enough as an actual book or not, but its worth even doing some unofficial work.
My thoughts in terms of outline 3 books Book 1 Characters My thoughts are that templates in a space opera arent so much occupations as roles. So Han Solo, Mal and any of the star trek captains all have a captain lens, but Han and Mal are scoundrels with the captain lens and the captains of star trek have little in common with them. Equally all the vulcans in star trek are distinctly alien, whether or not they are a captain, science officer or whatever their character concept is defined by their race. So we end up with something like Lens: captain, security, pilot, engineer, etc Templates, Alien (including robots), scoundrel, soldier, gadgeteer/techo, mystic, rookie etc A treatment of equipment from space/ultratech type books that gives some ground on having tl range from 10-12 Finally a guide to plugging into GURPS Spaceships giving some guide on cooperatively designing the PC spaceship and crew Book 2 Basically the same as all the other #2 books, but focussing on dealing with things like gravity, pressure in a more cinematic way than Basic Set. Book 3 Aliens and alien worlds Not all space opera has aliens or even other cultures, so we are already getting into the more optional books here. I would kind of treat this as the adversary book of the series, but with a touch of something like treasure tables. It needs to have a guide on cooking up aliens and planets to visit either for the weekly episode or more long term. Im thinking a section covering non sentinent aliens with no point cost, but appropriate trait list so you can move through a page or two to get your giant spider with wings on a 'light' gravity world with 'heavy' atmosphere. Along with tables and guides for NPC/PC races on the fly. |

I look at this as more of *a* (potentially large) book like Madness Dosier than something that merits the #1-3/4 series. Its more of a suplement/ update to GURPS Horror/Cabal
