The Ultra Simplified GURPS Combat System You Probably Don't Know About

Are you a person who wishes there was a way to run combat in GURPS that was super simple? One even simpler than the Combat Lite chapter of GURPS Characters (pp, B324-328)? What if I told you this system exists in an often overlooked GURPS book and that even if you are aware of it, you might have missed that you could just use it as the combat system?

Wealth in Glasstown

Working my way around wealth rules in GURPS was done with intent. I needed to work out how I wanted Wealth to matter in Glasstown (my in-development six-guns-and-sorcery megadungeon). 

Wealth and Money in GURPS: Bean-Counting vs Abstraction

The one part of character creation that I like the least, (and the one that I often see players forget they need to do) is buying starting equipment. I know that some people really do enjoy the fantasy shopping minigame, but I have always seen it as a necessary evil. Even after that is done, in play, characters often need to buy (or sell) things. Regardless of how you feel about it, role-playing games need rules for player character economics and GURPS is no exception.

A Possibly Nonsense But Playable Solution to The Crossbow Conundrum

So there's a problem with crossbows in GURPS. I go into it here. Essentially Rated ST has no limits, and nor does it change bow stats no matter how arbitrarily high it gets. This is despite the TL4 Steel Crossbows saying they exceed this nonexistent limit at the cost of halving ST for range and damage (which pretty clearly makes them useless).

Bugstiary Adventure Seeds: Maurakappi

Continuing the adventure seeds for The Bugstiary, (written by me and published by Gaming Ballistic LLC for the Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game) we have the ant-folk.

Bugstiary: Maurakappi Player Characters

Readers will always surprise you. When I wrote The Bugstiary I never imagined anyone would want to play an ant. The maurakappi (pp. 27-34)  have highly regimented societies totally devoted to their queens, which is not something I expected DFRPG players to want for a PC race. After the book was published, probably thanks to the excellent maurakappi art by Billy Blue, many readers lamented I didn't include player rules for them.

I missed several weeks so here's a longer post of adventure seeds for The Bugstiary, written by me and published by Gaming Ballistic LLC for the Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game.
