Gadgets in GURPS Character Sheet

Infornific · 11-19-2022, 10:26 PM

Apologies for posting this here, but I had a question about GCS and I can't get the GCS Discord to work.

Does GCS include gadget limitations (Breakable, Can Be Stolen, etc)? I tried looking for them and couldn't find them in any of the files.

You may get a better answer from the gcs Webpage. https://gurpscharactersheet.com/

It would still help other GURPS players to post the answer here if you get one, though.

I didn't see a way to make contact other than the Discord which I can't get to work. I also can't help thinking I'm missing something really obvious & simple.

The files are stored in text format, so I went through them with a file search (not exhaustively, because it shows false positives for things like Gadgeteer, the word "Gadgeteer" in Hidebound and the word "stolen" in Kleptomania, so it was a long list and I only checked the likely-looking ones) and didn't spot anything.

Also, "The Overlord of Jupiter" in the "Tales of the Solar Patrol" section has some Gadget advantages and the modifier is just typed out as "Gadget - can be stolen - must be forcefully removed", which suggests that there isn't any ready-made one for that, or wasn't when that character sheet was made.

The Gadget limitations might be tricky to lay out in GCS, since some of them have a lot of variables.

You should just be able to add them. Click on the little + at the top right of Limitations on an Advantage.

Thanks for the feedback. Looks like I wasn't missing anything obvious.

I can see that in the tutorial but can't see that in my trait editor. Thanks for the advice but I think I'll try something else.
