Co-hosts Che Webster (Roleplay Rescue) and Patrick Mullen (Cry Havoc T2K) discuss today's topic: We're going to run our long-form game using the GURPS Fourth Edition rules. How do we get started setting up a campaign?We discuss the challenges and joys of adapting existing game settings to GURPS for long-form play, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the system's strengths while acknowledging time and work constraints. We discuss setting up a long-form campaign, focusing on the basic interrogatives of "who," "what," "when," "where," and "why." We emphasize the importance of having a clear theme or "glue" that holds the game together, such as a shared goal or faction. Pat shares his experience of running a low-magic ancient Rome campaign, explaining how he and his players chose the setting during a session 0. Pat emphasizes the importance of giving players choices about the campaign's timing and setting to ensure long-term engagement and to reduce GM workload. Big thanks to Andrew for calling in!GOT A QUESTION?Ask us via voice message:speakpipe.com/gurpstalkAsk us via an email:[email protected]:Jon from Tale of the Manticore for the music:https://taleofthemanticore.podbean.com/Logo by MJ Hiblen:https://www.patreon.com/MJHiblenART/DISCLAIMER & NOTICE:The material presented here is our original creation, intended for use with the GURPS system from Steve Jackson Games.
