Going unrestricted GURPS Magic. What about errata, house rules, recommended books?

Calliban · 04-13-2024, 06:25 AM

In our next campaign, PCs are from modern-day Earth and discover a way to travel back and forth to a Medieval Fantasy world, fueled by GURPS Fantasy: Portal Realms ideas. They'll then be able to develop Magery and learn spells - which may possibly also work back on Earth.

We will be using GURPS Magic basic spell system, plus Alchemy. Not sure about other sub-systems yet - but I am open to suggestions!

I think I'll be removing any spells from the game, and I am well aware some of them could create huge problems to my sanity as a GM, such as infinite money and recursive time travel. Which is where I am looking for some help.

Are there any current errata or recommended house rules on handling GURPS Magic spells? Any recommended books other than Magic - including specific Pyramid issues? Any problematic spells or spell-combos I should be aware and prepared for? Any other advice?
