They should really fix that in GURPS Horror!

[Mercator]

What do you think should be changed in the next edition of GURPS Horror?

I have been accepted for the playtest, and am reading the manuscript right now. It is very good (no surprise, considering the author), and I want to contribute as much as possible to make it even better.

Following on a previous thread by Icelander for Low-Tech, I want to know what experiences people have had with previous incarnations of Horror: what did you miss; what rules should be changed, expanded or removed; what is so good it shouldn't be altered under any circumstance... to make clear what I need, allow me to quote Icelander's original message (edited to remove references to cabaret dancers and ice):

What I am looking for are cases where the rules as they currently stand were insufficient to describe something that happened in a game and the forumites discussed how the rules could have been expanded upon. And after having gotten a pretty good answer, it made you think: "Wow, they should totally include that in [GURPS Horror]. It adds next to no complexity to the current rules and it makes it much easier to stat something that was historically common!"

Or even, some contentious subject was discussed for a long time and Kromm (or someone else) finally made a brilliant ruling that wasn't in the books. When asked why it wasn't official, he'd say: 'Okay, that might need looking into. How about we discuss it during the playtest?'

The only aim of this thread is to collect ideas to present at the playtest, not to discuss details of the manuscript with people not on the playtesting list. I will not reveal anything under any circumstances, do don't bother trying. Also, you won't get playtesting credit for participating on this thread; but you might help make Horror better.

So: anything you'd like to share?

Thanks in advance,

M.
