GURPS Psionic Powers is one of my favorite systems for powers in GURPS 4th edition. One of my favorite powers is psychic vampirism. All the coolness of vampires, without having to drink a pint of Blüd Light every day. But it’s more than that, psychic vampires don’t just feed on lifeforce (or, rather, don’t have […]

I’m slowly catching up with things – Life(TM) happened again and man everything sucked for a while. Luckily, I’m back-back in the saddle. Here are the things that happened in May and June this year. Authorial Highlights I submitted another article I co-wrote with J. Edward Tremlett and both it and the previous Hot Spots […]

Boil and Bubble: Warcaster
Damage-dealing spellcasters using standard magic need all the help they can get. Sure, highskill can make tossing 3d Fireballs a breeze, but when compared with warriors or archers who can fight all day long and don’t really spend FP, things get . . . annoying. Suddenly, semiphenomenal cosmic power really does come with itty-bitty living […]

Having a patron in GURPS Dungeon Fantasy (other than a god) could use with the same treatment it got in GURPS Monster Hunters. Here’s how I’d do it as a utility power-up . . . . . . if you’d like to read more, consider becoming a patron! Note: the link to the actual content for […]

Carpe Blogiem: Author, Patreon, and Blog Highlights – December 2017 to April 2018
What can I say, it’s been a while – almost six months. Where have I been for half a year? Honestly, I’d rather not discuss it. Let’s just say that Life(TM) intruded in an extremely ugly way and there was simply no time for blogging. I barely had the time to write or keep up […]

The Hurt Locker – Blightspore
As I’ve said before GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 6: Artifacts is probably one of my favorite GURPS books so far. I love making artifacts for it and I even ported its system over to GURPS Monster Hunters because it works so well there. Here’s a new Dungeon Fantasy item: Blightspore… . . if you’d like to […]

Boil and Bubble: Trained by an Arch-Caster
GURPS Dungeon Fantasy has a lot to offer– even (or especially) to those who don’t play it. The power-ups framework shows quite well how to do or build a myriad number of things. The following new caster power-up helps to differentiate casters who’ve had special training or genius teachers/mentors… . . if you’d like to […]

The Hurt Locker: Mudstompers
GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 6: Artifacts is probably one of my favorite GURPS books to date. It takes an extremely un-GURPS-like approach to solve a problem the system has: it makes up (balanced) stats for things that GURPS might otherwise struggle with (e.g., absolutes like invulnerability or “instant death” attacks). Anyways, here is a new artifact […]
