GURPS WWII Campaign

[nonconformist]

We had a GURPS WWII campaign going on before, but it died out.....would anyone be interested in a new round?

Whats GURPS?

 

[nonconformist]

A Roleplaying system/rules.

 

[Darth_Pugwash]

Okay, I may give it a shot..(wikipedia is god, by the way)

Do you have a link to the old thread?

 

[Yuri2356]

I'm in, Though I'd prefer to find a way to resurect the old one. (Maybe Lozzy is keeping the needed info sitting arround somewhere, to hand off to a new GM?)

 

[Darth_Pugwash]

Ah thanks for the inadvertant help, Yuri!

Edit: Ah crap, you need a rulebook for this?

It's a freely downloadable PDF...

I've got the advanced WWII ones at home

Sounds interesting, but I'd rather play it with models, eg Warhammer kind of thing. With another person. I hate and never read big threads, too much reading and too unorganized.

YES!!!! .

I was wondering about this the other day, and most definately YES!.

I could ressurect the old one if you want, and I never meant for it to die out but it was hard to get it going again after me and Noncon went on holiday.

I think we need people who will definately keep up though this time, as some of the people in the last game didn't post here often.

And i'm a lot more fluent with the rules now, I hadn't had the full rulebook for long then.

And I have less work needing done right now.

If Noncon wants we can joint host it or something, I have the Characters and Campaigns rulebooks (the two main ones), which are pretty much neccesities for running a decent campaign (the other one I did was pretty poor, in my eyes).

But I don't want to look like i'm trying to steal it from you .

Yes, I do, and I would be happy enough to keep it running, but I don't know if people would want to carry on. Maybe I could summarise the events and have new players for all of the characters? Depending on the support we get.

Whats GURPS?

http://www.sjgames.com/gurps/.

You can download the Lite rules (all you REALLY need for a game here, if you allow the GM to make the characters for you (you can give details but the main rulebook has literally dozens more pages of character options than that book).

Its an excellent and very versatile system, and isn't hard to get into at all .

Sounds interesting, but I'd rather play it with models, eg Warhammer kind of thing. With another person. I hate and never read big threads, too much reading and too unorganized.

You can use models in GURPS, and are meant to in combat (thats covered in the main rules, but only the GM has to control it). The thread isn't so big really, it builds up a bit at a time, so you would need to make sure that you can keep up, and preferably post in it from once every two days (probably minimum) to several times a day (preferable).

And then there's the issue of time zones... .

I just don't like the thread format for this kind of stuff, plus I will forget to check one night, and I already and will soon have more than enoguh stuff to learn. Good luck!

So whos starting this? Me or Noncon?

 

[nonconformist]

Spoiler :

You read my mind exactly...

And me are Noncon are sorting this out.

I've got the basics of the plot drawn up, and i'm starting to work on maps and stats.

If anyone wants to know anything or make suggestions, i'll try to help .

Oh, and Noncon thought of, and I am developing, a "briefing" method for creating a character and chosing their gear.
