Sorcery: Least Spells II

Sorcery: Least Spells II

There's a lot of new spells in the new book. It will probably take twelve or so posts to convert them all. But at least I am motivated to do something!

Sorcery: Least Spells I

GURPS Magic: The Least of Spells came out not long ago. After buying it I felt that I spent my money well - this is one of my favorite books despite the standard magic system not being used in my games. It's time to convert the plethora of cantrips into Sorcery. Don't forget to buy the book, it's worth it, especially if you use Magic-as-Skills!

Sorcery: Dungeon Fantasy Spells

Sorcery: Dungeon Fantasy Spells

Have you read Fantastic Dungeon Grappling? You should. Aside from a nice streamlining of the Technical Grappling rules and providing the rules for swallowing people whole for the first time, it has a short section with new spells. Let's convert them (and two Kickstarter DF spells) (one, two) into Sorcery spells.

Monsters: Clawbugs

Monsters: Clawbugs

Clawbugs are scorpion-like battle creations from Geneforge. Plated clawbugs have thicker armor, but are slower. Stinging clawbugs have poison. Cool.

Monsters: War Tralls

Monsters: War Tralls

Let's do a couple of Geneforge write-ups. War tralls are yet another variety of the big guy creation. But now we got the boring creations out of the way and can make the more interesting ones.

Ultra-Tech: UAC BFG-9000

Ultra-Tech: UAC BFG-9000

Let's stat up the other energy weapon from Doom with the Beam and Blaster Design System article and TheRyujinLP's houserules. It's not going to be 100% authentic, but representing all the tracer beams stuff is a big hassle - let's settle on a single-shot weapon that needs 3 seconds of charging to fire an explosive projectile that contains TL9 C-cell worth of energy.

Ultra-Tech: UAC Plasma Rifle

Ultra-Tech: UAC Plasma Rifle

Remember Pyramid #3-37? The one with the Blaster and Laser Design System article? I do. If you do, I suggest you to check out GURB and Hard Maths, as they have a ton of additional options for that article. Let's play around with the beam weapon design system and try to recreate the plasma rifle from Doom.

Monsters: Battle Alpha/Beta/Gamma

Monsters: Battle Alpha/Beta/Gamma

I'm kind of swamped with various projects right now, so let's squeeze out a simple monster post that converts three creations from the Geneforge video game series. They are big, strong, resistant to damage, but are a bit smarter than the thahds from the previous post. Fur is optional, according to the game's wiki.

Monsters: Thahds

Monsters: Thahds

While I'm working on something bigger, let's do some more Geneforge writeups. Thahds are simple battle creations that can absorb a lot of physical damage, but are vulnerable to magic. There are several thahd variants, but only two of them are described on the wiki - so there you go.

Arena: Simple Ultra-Tech Gunfight

Arena: Simple Ultra-Tech Gunfight

Let's step away from fantasy beatdowns and try out a simple Ultra-Tech gunfight. The arena is quite cramped, has lots of cover. We're not going to use too many extra rules here (such as scopes, HUD links, grenades, and all that).
