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.

The Bugstiary, written by me, and published by Gaming Ballistic for the Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game (Powered by GURPS) is a bestiary supplement to The Nordlond Bestiary and Enemies Book, that contains 34 new arthropod monster entries for the DFRPG. 

In this series of posts, I'm going to give one or two adventure seeds for each monster entry in The Bugstiary.

Powers Systems I've Used, Adapted, or Changed

     GURPS Powers (2005) expanded the rudimentary example of psionics in the Basic Set to the full 4e powers system. In GURPS a "power" is a set of related abilities that share a source (the energy that the power uses or manipulates) and a focus (the specific concept the power is themed around). Mechanically they have a Power Talent that adds to rolls to use the abilities of the power, and the Power Modifier: a shared modifier (typically a limitation worth -10%) that defines the limits of the power.

    I've run (or at least started) a few different games since Powers was published, some like my new weird road-trip Desolation Road and my Transhuman Space technothriller Hearts of Oak, Souls of Fire, didn't use powers at all, but the rest did.
