  1. Promise: For today, I will share a picture of some RPG dice, my wedding cake. My marriage vows are the central promise of my life. RPGs played a role in our courtship and continue to be a significant part of our relationship. (It’s a good thing we were playing #GURPS back then instead of #Genesys, or the baker would have had a much more challenging job depicting a critical success.)

  2. By the way, gerade gesehen: "Bundle of Holding" bietet gerade diverse #GURPS Regel- und Quellenbuchpakete für einen schmalen Euro an.

  3. @video_play Aktuell läuft noch unsere #GURPS #InfiniteWorlds Runde, sowie die #MaskenDesNyralathotep Kampagne in unserer #CallOfCthulhu Dauerrunde.

    Im Herbst pausiert die Infinite Worlds Runde und es startet mit den gleichen Leuten eine #Shadowrun5e Kampagne. 😊

  4. Build any character you can imagine with GURPS 4E. The massive Essentials and genre bundles are now live, offering hundreds of dollars in content for a fraction of the price. #GURPS geeknative.com/241020/steve-ja

  5. Some musings on what I like in #ttrpg :

    I do like it when player characters get more powerful and competent over time. But the power curve of #DnD and its derivatives is too steep for me - I like it when a campaign has room to breathe.

    Thus, some of my favorite RPGs have a middle ground of slow but steady improvement - where the players can pick some minor improvements after each session or two which become impressive over time. #GURPS and #WFRP are some good examples of this style of play - the characters can become very powerful over the course of a long campaign without actually developing into the equivalent of superheroes.

    What is your preference when it comes to the power curve in RPGs?

  6. I got the revised version of #GURPS 4E (well, the PDF version).

    I just wish there was a snowball's chance in hell for convincing my local #ttrpg group to use this.

  7. Discipline: In a #GURPS game, I played Rafe, a street kid who eventually grew into a skilled swordsman working for a baron. My GM surprised me with a very moving knighthood ceremony he'd read about (in the Banestorm book, I believe). Rafe had to demonstrate the self-discipline required to stay awake all night kneeling still on the chapel's stone floor, while friends shared insights and advice. It was an amazing experience for me to hear how Rafe was viewed by all those NPCs.

  8. J’ai toujours bien aimé les suppléments thématiques de #GURPS. Je pense que celui-ci va bien me plaire…

  9. If you are in any way curious about #GURPS , Bundle of Holding has a bunch of the books for sale.

    It still ranks among my favorite #ttrpg , although sadly I don't get to run it these days.

  10. That’s a hell of a lot of #GURPS for sale over on Bundle of Holding.

  11. The GURPS basic set 4th edition is getting reprinted in a single volume: warehouse23.com/products/gurps

    This is an interesting choice though its size will still look daunting to new players. GURPS has very simple rules but their breadth is enormous. It's not a ruleset per-se but rather a toolkit from which you only extract the bits you need for your campaign. Doing so starting from the full spread of rules is rather daunting (but quite rewarding).

  12. Bundle of Holding are currently not offering one, not offering two, not even offering three... but offering FOUR bundles of GURPS tabletop roleplaying bundles courtesy of Steve Jackson Games... and that's just the start of the GURPS 4E Week promotion!

  13. Because they believe "none of this is real," they treat deadly situations with reckless apathy or a complete lack of self-preservation.

  14. How it started: "Roolipelikartat piirrän itse, mutta hahmografiikkaan vedän rajan"

    How it's going:

  15. Does anybody want to get into GURPS with physical books?
    I have the 4th Edition Basic Set (2 hardcovers, Characters and Campaigns, 575 numbered pages) and the additional volume Fantasy (softcover, 240 numbered pages, also 4th edition)
    I'm asking for 10€ for the Basic Set and 5€ for the Fantasy book, plus actual shipping (unless we can meet in Cologne somewhere). Due to shipping it's probably not worth it if you're outside of Europe.

  16. Starting a new #GURPS game this evening.

    Stumbled upon a map of Venus that depicted it with Earth-like water oceans and now I’m going to use it as a sword and sorcery setting. Am excite.
