I ran a GURPS oneshot today because our usual (non-GURPS) GM couldn't make it. To speed up character creation I had everyone use a random Character Creator I found online and Holy Shit it worked out so good.

Half the party were racists, one had dementia (and was also racist) and one of the few who wasn't racist was a bloodthirsty sadomasochist. Most of the game was the elf racists and the human racists arguing with each other before finding common cause because the human racist was horny (and the elf racist forgot what century it was).

The book was called something like "the guide to being an asshole GM". I remember one part from it that referenced the movie Ronin. It said when DeNiro's character starts pressuring Sean Bean's character asking "What's the colour of the Boathouse at Here-Ford?" (Which Bean's character doesn't know because he's lying about his credentials) it advises Bean should have replied with "Here-Ford? Here-Ford? Where's Here-Ford? Do you mean Her-eh-ford? Because I've never heard of Here-Ford!"

I downloaded version 18.0 today and when I tried to apply a delta keyer to multiple clips with the middle mouse button as I was used to doing in 17.4 it didn't work. Is there a new shortcut to do this because I really don't want to have to add a delta keyer manually to 300 odd clips.

EDIT: I found out the answer by experimenting. By selecting all of the files you wish to apply the effects to and then right clicking the file which has the effects you want to replicate, you then click apply composition. Handy because it means you can do it with a two button mouse.

Would y'all use the -50% minor limitation for regrowth if you can reattach severed limbs but not regrow them entirely? What about if you don't need your original limb like a Discworld Igor?

For those who don't know the very broad strokes of their Irish History, Easter holds a very important place in the narrative of Irish Independence due to the (ultimately failed) Easter Rising of 1916. Easter of course being that one annoying holiday that takes place on different days each year the actual Rising took place later in April but most people prefer to remember it on Easter itself (especially because you get the time off work).

What's going on with the traffic on the Antrim Road? Everybody's been pumping their horns for about the last twenty minutes what did I miss?

I'm just getting started with DaVinci and I find that I regularly re-use the same settings on multiple clips. I know I can ctrl+c, alt+v to copy paste attributes but is there a way to store multiple presets or templates to either hotkey paste attributes or even drag and drop them on to clips. I hope I've explained this well enough, thanks in advance.

The question speaks for itself. I'm not a big fan of D&D myself but I joined this subreddit because it has a lot of fairly generic RPG discussion and I wanted to gauge how popular non D&D RPGs are compared to the Dominator.

I always thought that one of the best things about GURPS was that you actually can play any character you want. I usually think of a lot of other system's character creation as basically a box ticking exercise, pick race, pick class, pick subclass. If your character concept doesn't fall neatly within the parameters then that's too bad. Whereas in GURPS you can play an arthritic telepath or a talking dog.

However, my experience of introducing players to GURPS is that a lot of players really struggle to come up with a character concept and tend to bounce real hard off of GURPS as a result. Is this just me or has anyone else had a similar experience?

This is an idea I had the other day and I'm not sure if it's correct but in Powers p.104 there's a special modifier for the melee limitation which is ST based +100%. It allows an innate attack to go off of ST. So I started thinking could you take Innate Attack: Crushing 0d+1(base cost 2) ST based (+100%) Double Knockback (+20%) [5pts]. To get a super knockback "Dragon Punch" dealing Thrust+1. Or Innate Attack: Cutting (base cost 3) ST based(+100%)Armour Divisor 2(+50%) Requires a Sword(-10%) [8pts] for the "Blood Seeking Slash" dealing sw+1 cut.

Is this the best way to do this type of thing? I know there's Infusions or something but they seem really costly, working more

One of my players mentioned it to me in a game last night how his encumbrance meant his move was only 2. Mostly this comes from his armour. I added it up and his armour and shield come to almost 100lb. A quick google suggests that most (reasonably heavy) armour weighed about 30-50 pounds for a full suit which is in keeping for the chest pieces in the book.

I double checked in Low Tech where different values are given, this gives more realistic values. So for anyone without access to Low Tech it's probably best to treat the weight listed in Basic as the weight of a full set and not just the chestpiece.
