  • Love it

    I’ve been waiting for some more GURPS podcasts to help explain the game. Some others are a little harder to understand due to audio clarity.

    I started with combat because I’m still trying to learn. But if you take requests I’d love some explanation of how it’s different than DnD. Not better than, so much of GURPS talk is often how it’s superior to DnD. What I’d like to know is how to handle it differently than what most people are used to.

  • Starts out strong, but soon devolves into Pat ranting about rules he doesn't like and Che letting him. Pat seems to suffer from "one true wayism," a strangely common problem among GURPS players, even though he would surely be the first to say that he doesn't. If I didn't know anything about GURPS and I were listening to this podcast, I might conclude that GURPS is a bad game.
