GURPSing at GenCon 2024

I am getting excited for August and GenCon! This year will be my 2nd trip and this time around I plan to GM some games as well as play as many as I can.

I am running 3 games this year at GenCon, two of them GURPS games and all three of them written by the amazing JC Connors over at 1shotadventures.com Go check them out, though not the ones I'm planning on running if you're gonna play!

My GenCon GM Schedule looks like this:

FINAL VOYAGE OF DRÆNGR THAR (GURPS) Kicking off GenCon Thursday at 10am!

FINAL VOYAGE OF DRÆNGR THAR (OSE:AF) immediately following Thursday at 2pm

CANYON OF THE SNOW CAIRNS (GURPS) Friday morning at 9am

There are a NUMBER of other GURPS games being run as well. If you're going to GenCon this summer, come play a GURPS game (with me or one of the other GMs!)

Nick and Nose are doing their World Tour and running quite a few games between them again (you may know them from their amazing work on the GURPS Foundry Module)

Saethor's Bane - GURPS Solo Adventure Fully Funded and in Full-Color!

 A special "GURPS but not a session report" post!

My friend Douglas Cole over at Gaming Ballistic puts out amazing third-party products for my favorite game... GURPS.

Saethor's Bane: A Dungeon Fantasy RPG Solo Adventure

His newest project is ending tomorrow. It funded in the first couple of hours on Backerkit Crowdfunding and has reached its one and only stretch goal... turning all the art and maps from black and white to full color. 

"A Choose-Your-Own style adventure for the Dungeon Fantasy RPG. Four mercenary soldiers join the fight to overthrow the dark Overlord Saethor. Play it solo, as a tutorial, or a no-prep convention romp. Will you be Saethor’s Bane … or he yours?"

If you are into GUPRS, and I assume you are, check this project out before it closes Saturday March 9 at 9pm Central.

Tides and Tribulations #12

The group spreads out and explores the Sinker. Everyone was kind of doing their own thing this time around. On-going GURPS adventures set in the beautiful and evocative Bay of Spirits setting by Randy M. at Roan Studios.

Æsbiorn Ljotsson

As part of the 2024 Character Creation Challenge, I present my second GURPS character of this month.

This character is the GURPS version of a pre-gen character for a Viking-themed one-shot I'm planning on running soon. He was first created as an OSE character, now he is GURPSified!

Æsbiorn Ljotsson, the Bear, is a drunk, wildman who often finds himself in trouble and Drængr Thar always gets him out.

"You grew up with Drængr Thar and he always called you friend, no matter what trouble you found yourself in. He was ready to bail you out, stand by your side, and now that he is in trouble, you know that you must finally repay your debt and bring him back home."

Alexis Harris

 As part of the 2024 Character Creation Challenge, I present my first GURPS character of this month.

Alexis Harris. She is a 22 year old getting her start in the field of archeology. She dreams of being a treasure hunter, but for now, just biding her time working on whatever dig site she can get involved with. She loves reading and practicing yoga. She has some self defense martial arts training and her grandpa showed her how to handle a pistol when she was young, though she hopes she doesn't have to use one.
