I can say that The Last Gasp won't make the cut as-is, or even as some sort of "spend action points" system. That's the sort of bookkeeping we are tending to hit with a 10B+3 pi (+2) shot on sight.

Fast to the table, fast AT the table, and enough abstraction that yes, you can still get the expected effects.

Like one of the first things we brought out was a player in the test game decided to pack a full-auto grenade launcher. If you know regular GURPS, that's a "OK, everyone get pizza while we resolve all this" sort of thing. We've got a way of handling this that makes it just another Tuesday.

This is the only GURPS product that I'm looking forward to.

And at the other end, I want to note that during some playtesting I had a knife-wielding character in the same mix that did just fine in combat. In other words, the basis for the system and the CI and so on is so inherently robust and functional that it works at the extremes as well as it does in the middle.

I am, as of now following the kickstarter. As with everything Douglas does, I am sure this will pack a punch, in quality and novelty. Looking forward to it.

Looking forward to it.

Impatient ! Very much ! Really !
KS alarm is on.

PS : your gurps "version" is what I was waiting for a long time. I'm a big gurps fan since late 80s, especially 3e (less for 4e, I admit), and lately, in my rpg club I tried to get my players to play gurps but it was a failure because the trend is to soft/light/easy rpg and they wrongly feel/think gurps is the opposite of that. In the description you give of your game, it seems that you're looking for a compromise, keeping the best of both worlds, and I really like that! I can't wait to find out more!

Re: Mission X: Launching in 2025
 

Looking forward to it!

Maybe it is also the spearhead for a new Space Opera line too.

Re: Mission X: Launching in 2025
 

I’m pleased you’re using Cumulative Injury, in some form, but I am really pleased to hear about a smoother automatic weapons resolution. The timing seems good, too; I expect to wrap up an eight year campaign sometime next year, and want to do a space-action type game next.

Re: Mission X: Launching in 2025
 

Sad to hear you cannot maintain your dream job but very happy Mission X is still on the table.

Sounds very good! Will it include paranormal abilities (psionics, magic, super-powers)?

Again, I like what I read! I suggest you also organize advantages and disadvantages by categories (not unlike GURPS 3). It makes the game look lighter when it comes in smaller bites.

Can you elaborate on damage scaling?

Love it! It might be the GURPS game I have been waiting for!
