Many gamers love them (me too), so I took the freedom to add them to the according timeline pages. Hope you don't mind. Doesn't tell too much, but makes people curious about the content.

If I offended anyone on the GURPS Wiki I apologize. Because I suspect that someone used my login to harm me. On the other hand, now I have changed my password and my account is safe again. And I wanted to clarify that I really like GURPS, and it is my favorite rule system. and I intend to contribute more material about GURPS in the future. Hugs.

Some time ago I read a book with a pretty flawed protagonist. So I started counting his quirks (if he was a GURPS char) and got about 60.

(OK, maybe some of them would be full-fledged disadvantages, but that doesn't improve things.)

So I thought about making quirky characters while avoiding minmaxing and got an idea for a houserule.

OK to post this here?

I thought about starting a short article about the GURPS Fantasy Folk series. One supplement is out, and three others have been announced as being in progress (at least one of them is currently in final draft stage).

My problem is, I wrote GURPS Fantasy Folk: Elves. I don't want this to look like I'm just promoting myself. So do people think it sounds OK if I start an article about the Fantasy Folk series?

Something I have been thinking about writing - a timeline, or even a book - for some time. Sure, the topic isn't new, but I hope I can give it a new twist.

Anybody wants to add some comment?

Note this doesn't specify time zone when midnight is--I'm guessing it's Central Time, but did let SJGames know about the possible confusion. This is taken directly from sjgames.com. But I doubt they'll mind me publicizing their sale.

Steve Jackson Games has a long history and a large catalog of games, especially in the digital realm. We thought this realm was infinite, but it turns out that each individual PDF is taking up valuable bytes on something called the Information Superhighway and thus causing traffic jams. But we have a solution! Today, ONE DAY ONLY, we're clearing out our backlog of PDFs.

Looking for a GURPS module from 2003? Discounted. Maybe a Pyramid issue from 1997? Slashed. We have to move these digital files, people! Check out the games you can get a deal on:

• GURPS PDFs

• Pyramid PDFs

• In Nomine PDFs

• Car Wars PDFs

• Ogre PDFs

Every PDF deserves a good home! The Recycle Bin on our desktop is already full and we don't know where else we could put them. Our e-loss is your e-gain, so get over to Warehouse 23 and save some of your favorite PDFs from the digital wasteland! The sale ends at midnight tonight.

What is the criterion for All-out defense?

I must activate at the end of my turn for a possible attack on the opponent's turn, right?

But what do I "lose" with this?

Can I activate all-out defense at every end of turn without taking any loss with it? If so, it would not be worth always activating this option ?

(I speak more in the case of double defense, as I know that in the case of increased defense there is a reduction in movement)

It appears that GURPS Wiki does not have a formal method for proposing someone be elevated to Bureaucrat, so I'm doing it here.

I propose that BruceGrubb, who is currently a Sysop/Administrator here, be given the additional position of Bureaucrat.

GURPS Wiki currently only one Bureaucrat, Tycio. While it has four Sysops, only two are active, Tycio and BruceGrubb. (By Fandom standards, an active editor is one who edited an article on the wiki in the last two months--in the case of the other two Sysops, it's been over a year), The position of Bureaucrat is described at the following:

https://community.fandom.com/wiki/Help:Bureaucrats%27_how-to_guide

https://community.fandom.com/wiki/Special:ListGroupRights

https://community.fandom.com/wiki/Help:User_rights#Bureaucrats

Having more than one Bureaucrat can give the site more stability and security. There have been many cases with Fandom wikis where someone would be temporarily inactive on a Wiki, and someone new would come in and adopt the site through Fandom. They could then remove the status of all other Sysops.

In one particular case, someone did that who removed people's Sysop/Administrative status, blocked a number of people from editing (including some who had never even edited there), and then installed their friends as Sysops and Bureaucrats--even though those friends had made very few edits (10 or less).

While Sysop status could be removed by a Fandom user, Bureaucrat status can only be removed by Fandom staff, meaning Fandom can insist on a legitimate reason.

BruceGrubb has made over 57,000 edits, an extraordinary number, and has been helpful to me and others here a number of times in addition to making posts to keep people here informed of things like GURPS playtests (and yes, that includes my own GURPS Fantasy Folk: Elves--please excuse the shameless self-promotion).

I hope the active editors here support Sysop/Administrator BruceGrubb being given the additional authority of being a Bureaucrat of GURPS Wiki.
