Trail of Cthulhu to GURPS?

Shostak · 02-16-2018, 07:29 PM

ToC has several excellent adventures published for it that, for the most part, are pretty easy to use for GURPS. But the resource-management that is central to ToC leaves me mystified as to how to accurately translate it to GURPS. For instance, take Scuffling: Brawling seems like a good GURPS equivalent skill. But what would a 5 rating be in GURPS, as compared to a 10? I've just been working with the idea that for a Purist feel, PCs should be pretty average people (up to 50 points) whereas a Pulpy game might see PCs built on 100-150 points. Does anyone have a better approach?
