GURPStalk
Co-hosts Che Webster (Roleplay Rescue) and Patrick Mullen (Cry Havoc T2K) talk about GURPS - the Generic Universal Role-Playing System published by Steve Jackson Games - and using it to run long-form roleplaying campaigns. We discuss topics arising from using the game system aimed at intermediate users of the rules who wish to progress towards deeper and more immersive role-play in whatever fictional worlds they imagine.
