Re: [Recruiting] GURPS play-by-post
Are we going to move forward with the two characters that we have? Or is it too small a group?

Re: [Recruiting] GURPS play-by-post
I'm somewhat interested and could put together a character this weekend. Would you consider it too much a load for me to build a character with the Amnesia trait? I was thinking the goals could be along the lines of, "Recover Memories" and "Go get revenge on whoever erased my memories."

Re: [Recruiting] GURPS play-by-post
OK, I made a partial character sheet so far. I'm interested in making a sneaky mage, but I noticed you mentioned that your first choice is Sorcery, and I don't have that. I'm thinking of a focus on illusion magic so people wouldn't see my character was there, or maybe mind control magic so he could make people forget he was here. Would you be open to using Ritual Magic from GURPS Magic or RPM? I understand Sorcery is like "Magic as Powers" so if you could provide me with the powers I imagine I could make use of it that way. Or maybe this could be better built as Psi. I left 40 points for magic in the draft here. Don't have equipment here yet either.
All the best, Code:

I do have RPM, but I am a little cold on the system. Do you have Thaumatology (the book)? I can also accept just standard Magic, I have that book. Psionics is cool, they have pre-made packages for powers that you might like. It’s your decision. No gear yet?

Re: [Recruiting] GURPS play-by-post
The Path/Book Rituals are nice. I can tell you how the system would work in my campaign if you aren’t feeling other systems. Path/Book is somewhat complicated, so we might prefer other systems before we resort to it, it’s your decision.
As for your gear, it all looks good. How much money is leftover as cash?

The equipment totals to $7530, so that leaves $12,470 leftover as cash.

=== Now, if you’re using Path/Book Rituals, here are the rules; Effect-Shaping, Books, Magery optional (Magery 0+ can roll Per + Magery to sense Books and other magic items upon sight or touch), No Adept advantage available for anyone, and Magery adds to Rituals. Each Book is a VH skill with no default, Rituals are Hard Techniques. Starting Player-Characters may know one Book skill and improve the Ritual Techniques with their starting points. They may learn new Books and improve Ritual Techniques in play. We can work out what Books and Rituals you start out knowing later. To go into deeper detail on the mechanics of Book Rituals; Mana: -5 even after consecration or impossible for no mana, nothing better than -1 for makeshift preparation for low mana, +1 to +3 for high mana, +4 or +5 for very high mana. Time: 1/10 time to cast plus 1d minutes gives -2, -5 penalty for 1d seconds, 3x basic time for +1, extra 30 minutes of prep work per day gives bonuses (+1 for 2 days, +2 for 4 days, +3 for 8 days, etc.). Ritual Space: -5 for no prepped space, 1d minutes and Ritual Magic roll gives -1 to next ritual only, no penalty for 1 hour prep work daily for a week, Places of Power give +1 to +5. Combined Efforts: -1 if all are not in sight of each other or in close mental communication, +1 for 2 magician collaborators, +2 for 4, +3 for 8, etc. Treachery possible. Materials/Symbols Sympathy: -2 to -6 for bad representation of target, +0 for quick sketch or piece of clothing or small belonging, +1 to +4 for good target representation, blood/DNA sample gives +2. Names: -5 for no name, group name or description gives -2, -5 for broad category, no modifier for areas or volumes, no modifier for place name or house address, +0 for clear informal identifier or public name or feared pseudonym, +1 for full legal name, +4 for True Name. Magical Symbols/Materials: -3 for no symbols/materials, +1 to +3 for large quantities of rare materials or substantial symbols. Contagion: +1 for clothing or personal item that subject would miss, +2 for physical pieces like skin or saliva or hair or fingernails or stone chip, +3 for blood or semen or fuel, +3 for present unresisting child or spouse. Sacrifices: +1 for consumables, +1 to +3 for valuables and money, +2 to +4 for animals, +1 to +5 for humans. Extra +1 for magical stuff. Acolytes: +1 for 3 assistants, +2 for 6, +3 for 12. Parameters Multiple Targets: Sketch map or drawing of town plus name gives -2, Thaumatology page 130 for resistance rolls and number affected, 2-3 people gives -2, 4-5 gives -4, 6-7 gives -6, 8-10 gives -8, 11-14 gives -10, 15-20 gives -12, 21-30 gives -14, 31-50 gives -16, 51-70 gives -18, 71-100 gives -20, etc. Area: Diameter of circle or longest dimension in any direction on range/size/speed table gives SM as penalty. +0 for 2 or less yards, 30 yards gives -7, 25 miles gives -26, 15 yards gives -5, 3 yards for -1, 5 yards for -2, 7 yards for -3, 10 yards for -4, 20 yards for -6, 1 mile for -18, 50 yards for -8, 70 yards for -9, 100 yards for -10.

Complexity of Effect: 2-3 gives -1, 4-5 gives -3, 6-10 gives -4, each +5 to max number past 10 gives further -1. === Any questions so far?
