RPM:Permanent Rituals Calculator
The RPM enchantment system now has a public calculator. I hope it will make using this system easier.

Saranders
I have another Alien species for you: Saranders, large salamander-like creatures at home in shallow water. They should fit into any campaign with aliens, being just at the edge of a mostly humanoid universe and yet alien enough to not raise any eyebrows in a setting where walking on two legs and using sight as the primary sense is rare.

How to use your Techie
In MH certain templates seem to get more love than others. The Witch and the Inhuman have really taken off. The techie -- I realized I wasn't quite sure how to play an effective techie. Or even how to GM a monster hunter's gadgeteer. So I put some thought about how a gadeteer in MH should operate. And this is what I came up with.

Re: Blog: Worlds Beyond Earth
Letters as Dice
I don't need this anymore, having gained a smart phone, but in the era before super mobile computers, this was a technique I used to play anywhere! The implementation is included.

MH: Android Inhuman
Monster Hunter's 5 had four inhuman templates. But the race I wanted to play the most was actually the android, given just a single box of its own and barely mentioned otherwise. So I had to make one.

Re: Blog: Worlds Beyond Earth
Mystery Seed Generator
Having read G: Mysteries, I found myself both wanting to play and at a loss for where to start. My solution was to take the elements listed in gurps mysteries and build a random generator to give me a seed to work with. I've found it surprisingly effective. Where I was flailing around and rejecting ideas before, now I have large piles of questions I can actually answer. As the answers build up the story comes together. In addition to the example I quickly typed up on the main page, I've built other mysteries with this generator. It stokes my creativity. And so I present it to you. I hope you find it useful.

Re: Blog: Worlds Beyond Earth
Crawler
This is another alien write-up. It actually came to [0] points, which surprised me. Crawlers are somewhere between a snake and a centipede, and while they are blind, they have excellent senses to use underground or in other situations where light isn't an option. The goal here was an alien that was alien merely because it lived in a different environment than humans. I hope you enjoy it, both as a new alien and as an example of how to build an alien species in GURPS.

Re: Blog: Worlds Beyond Earth
Soul Gem Magic
Another magic oriented as technology, Soul Gem Magic is about preserving a memory of another after they die -- as well as their skills! Soul Gem magic is particularly interesting in its effects on society: Is it an actual soul? if the only way to live after death is to die is a special circle, what measures will people take to ensure they don't reach oblivion?
