Re: GURPS: Ecosystems and Evolution
This may belong in a separate thread, but I've never learned if the 4th ed. Space rules for aliens are the updated version of the rules for aliens in Uplift, or an entirely new set of rules.

Re: GURPS: Ecosystems and Evolution
Wikipedia isn't always the best source for information.

Re: GURPS: Ecosystems and Evolution
@Vaevictis, I don't have Uplift, so I can't tell. Wherever they came from, they're very well done though.
@Ragitsu, can you be more specific? Wikipedia may not be the best source, but it's almost always good enough, and if I need more there are references at the bottom to get me started. For this project though, I think everything I've found has been good enough for use in a game. |

So if you can't see the real sources, anything on the Wiki needs to be taken with a grain of salt due to what the freshmen who updated the article misremembered from class. |

Re: GURPS: Ecosystems and Evolution
Those of you bashing Wiki, can I ask how that's relevant to this thread? Is there a particular article or factoid from an article that yall feel is incorrect? On one hand, I do want my information to be somewhat accurate. On the other hand, it's just a game and the results need to be simple enough to be useable in that context, so little differences aren't going to matter. (Also, I haven't noticed a significant number of technical articles that are wrong. Poorly worded or incomplete sometimes, but rarely wrong outright.)

Re: GURPS: Ecosystems and Evolution
Actually to simply settle sources, its better to check the sources used to make the wiki article than just the wiki article itself.
