In Response To: Re: role play (Max Etchemendy)

i am tired, i dont have anything to say, just replying to say that i am still watching this post :-)

: Huzzah, someone familiar with the GURPS System! Visit
: http://marathon.stormpages.com if you haven't already, and see what I
: have online.

: My site doesn't mention GURPS Lite...I suppose adding a link to the FAQ might
: be a good idea, since a lot of the interested people seem to be Marathon
: fans new to GURPS, rather than GURPS fans new to Marathon. Sadly, the
: truth is that GURPS Marathon is a pretty "hardcore" sourcebook,
: in that you won't get maximum usage without owning $80-$100 of additional
: books currently published by SJ Games...I'm not sure how far you could get
: just on GURPS Lite.

: A lot of talk has been going on about the "gun shield" thing. This
: really isn't a rule I would use, nor is it in the book; it's just an idea
: for Johannes, so he can integrate it into any game he players. I'm neither
: defending nor condemning the use of any "gun shield" rule. (In
: other words, since it's not in the actual book, I'm done talking about
: it.)

: Well, see GURPS Robots for robot combat rules. Juggernauts beware the
: creative (and, if he's lucky, cinematically-superboosted) character. Good
: luck and godspeed all ye Marathon security guards! I'll be staying back at
: HQ... :-D

: I'm actually surprised by how well people are taking the game balance issue.
: I expected the zealous Marathon community, which is capable of spending
: hours trying to justify Bungie reality-slips with far-fetched Story Page
: posts (no insult intended to any Marathon fans; I've had my share of weird
: "Marathon Guns" discussion posts), to be more upset by my
: flagrant re-engineering of the combat balance. Yay!

: Sincerely,

: -Max Etchemendy
