>GURPS is the "Generic Universal RolePlaying System." It starts with simple rules and builds up to as much optional detail as you like. It's designed to accommodate any background: realistic or larger-than-life; past, present, or future. The possibilities are endless!
>The GURPS Basic Set contains the complete core rules for character creation and advancement, task resolution, mental and physical feats, combat, injury, hazards, and NPC reactions. It includes basic magic and psionics systems, and starter lists of personal equipment, creatures, and vehicles. It also offers a plethora of practical advice on designing settings – their laws, governments, technologies, economics, and more – and running campaigns there. And it offers a sample campaign frame, Infinite Worlds, that can accommodate adventures set against a wide variety of backdrops.
>In GURPS, characters are built on points. You can create any hero you can imagine by selecting attributes, advantages, disadvantages, skills, and other traits. The GM chooses the power level by specifying the players' point budget, and then GURPS delivers the goods – it supports everything from "ordinary folks" to "gods." You can make character generation even simpler by using GURPS Character Assistant, the official character-creation program.
>Almost everything else in the game – from swinging a sword to firing a laser rifle to negotiating a good price from a merchant – boils down to a 3d6 "success roll." While there are lots of rules, they're all variations on the same theme. GURPS is easy to learn!

Replying to last thread..
>>52703848
TL 4, big game is still Very Dangerous to hunt with the weapons of the time. I'd allow them muskets because despite their power they are heavy, slow and bulky weapons. Lining up a shot with them takes careful positioning, finding the prey and getting a shot off, all things that should be rewarded.
Ways animals can be dangerous despite guns:
1) As said by.. >>52703934
Stealthy animals, like big cats, adapt by denying the hunter a clean shot. Staying low in long grass or moving though the jungle, perhaps waiting on branches overhead, these can get in and kill very fast (See the rules for pouncing under trampling). Hunts should be carefully orginized daylight only affairs and at night anyone that fails to stay with the group and in a well defended place might die. >>52703927 this is also really true. Bites that turn into grapples, with the option to worry, can quickly kill.
2) >>52703634
Really, really tough animals. Things like cape buffalo, hippos, elk, Antioch, large boar. These combine being mean as fuck with being so tough a single gunshot might not bring one down. Historically, these are among the most dangerous animals, especially the more territorial examples. Dangerous to charge, likely to knock people down.
3) >>52703934
Packs or swarms. "Clever girl". No matter how well armed a hunter, something sneaking up behind you is a Bad Thing.

>>52708161
>craziest animal encounter
This one time, the players were kicking it in a backwater village. Wowing the locals, challenging the status quo, winning duels and maiden hearts.
And then a horse screams over the horizon, and everyone freezes
And then a dragon bursts over the hillside, screeching like rending steel, dropping the equine carcass in the midst of the revelers.
Everyone panics
>>
Is there a concise summary or a table somewhere of all the damage types and their corresponding wounding multipliers and the various hit locations that also have multipliers?
As in, impaling is x2 and when the target is vitals it's x3, but for all damage types and locations.

>What is /awg/?
A thread to talk about minis and games which fall between the cracks. /hwg/ doesn't entertain fantasy (for good reason) and the other threads are locked to very specific games, so this thread isn't tied to a game, or a genre, lets talk about fun wargames.
Any scale, any genre, any company, any minis. Skirmishers welcome. Rules designers welcome.
>Examples of games that qualify
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_miniature_wargames
Grimdark Future, Age of Fantasy, Mighty Armies, Dragon Rampant, Of Gods and Mortals, Frostgrave, Hordes of the Things, Songs of Blades and Heroes, Freebooter's Fate, Dark Age, LotR and anything that doesn't necessarily have a dedicated thread (gorkamundheim).

Traveller is a classic science fiction system first released in 1968. In its original release it was a general purpose SF system, but a setting was soon developed called The Third Imperium, based on classic space opera tropes of the 60s, 70s, and 80s, with a slight noir tint.
Though it can support a wide range of game types, the classic campaign involves a group of retired veterans tooling around in a spaceship, taking whatever jobs they can find in a desperate bid to stay in business, a la Firefly or Cowboy Bebop.

On what? Damage Dice? d20 rolls?
Damage dice it could work, but only on something small, like Cantrips. Exploding Fireballs would just fuck everything.
D20 rolls... well, you'd have to arbitrarily replace all of that with a mathematically equivalent system so you don't have to spend 20 years fixing AC, DC, and all else, and derive new methods of determining what you roll from stats, either Step Dice or Dice Pool.
I refuse to believe that you could think an exploding d20 could possibly be balanced in 5e, no one is that retarded. Well, actually, yes there is, but I refuse to believe I could ever come in contact with them.
>>
>>52780530
Wouldn't really matter on a D20 as they're all binary rolls, it doesn't matter if you roll 15 or 1500.

/tg/ I'm working on a gaming system with a organic character creation system (something more akin to WW) and recently decided to do away with experience. My initial thought would be to replace abilities that have levels with an achievement system (deal X damage with this spell to raise it to rank 2), but on further consideration, that only works with some abilities (start 150 fires to raise pyrokenesis to rank 2 and the character stands there lighting fires and putting them out until it levels). I have some other ideas, but I'd like to hear the suggestions of some experienced players (my test group has varying levels of experience). Complexity is roughly that of 5th edition.
So /tg/ how do you get rid of experience in a game system?

Everything costs two things: time and money/something of exceptable perceived value.
>>
>>52779301
>get rid of experience
You know not what you wish to do.
The first example I can think of is Ars Magica, but that has a heavy emphasis on what you do during downtime (specifically, seasons-long downtimes), and adventures still provide "free" skill points to spread around as you choose. Based on how you're describing your system, it's probably the best example of what you're trying to do, but it's already on the complex side. If you made each method of upgrading skills and powers unique with different values necessary, it becomes 10 times worse, probably more if you make powers unique skills rather than having them key off a given set of skills like AM does.
There's also Call of Cthulhu style, where if you use a skill during a session, you check against it for advancement after the session, and you only advance if you fail that check. It's very firmly tied to a roll-under system, or something similarly bounded, so as to slow down advancement as you get more skilled, but if that's what you're using, it should work far more simply than AM's system. It also doesn't help if you want to keep the playing field level for long periods of time, since people can start with more, lower skills and advance to become competent universally while the advanced specialist isn't likely to advance much, which is fine for CoC since individual characters are very prone to death and replacement, but wouldn't work so well for higher-power things.
>>
>>52779417
But in the end, that essentially works the same way that experience. I'm trying to get away from an experience system or something technically different, but essentially the same.

Cheaper is better, you trust fund kiddie. What, you think armies march on Panzer tanks?
Armies march on two things: their stomachs and their wallets. Iron is plentiful, easily worked and cheap. I don't give a fuck if your 2 foot bronze sword stored in a tomb keeps an edge for 3,000 years; my iron sword just needs to keep an edge for 3 months, and it's currently buried in your guts because I could afford to outfit 10 soldiers instead of just 5. They're raping your lands, pillaging your women and burning your water as we speak.
Fuck bronze, and fuck bronzaboos. We picked iron for a reason, and it wasn't because Hittite women are easy. And they are very easy.
