GURPS Planescape is back

I've had all of my website offline for a couple of months.

However, at least my Planescape pages are back. This includes my in-progress conversion of Planescape to GURPS. What's new is that I've started changing things for the fourth edition of GURPS. A handful of racial templates (Githzeri, Aasimar, Tiefling) have been converted, as have all of the faction templates. I've converted a few of the fiends as well.

Oh, wow. Your site's been around for quite a long time, and it's nice to have it back to point people to.

There were a lot of broken links the last time I looked at the site. I'm glad they're cleaned up.

You'll still find some broken links in there; I'll be chasing them down and cleaning them up as I find them. Mostly, though, things should work.

3rd or 4th? oooh hard call for which. They are different enough that you do have to do different stats for both. I'd personally say do 4th ed as new stuff is coming out rapidly for them.

Used to be third, but I'm in the process of converting to 4th, as I'm mostly using GURPS/4e for everything myself.

I ran a GURPS/4e Planescape game a few days ago, as a sort-of one-shot. (One player had played GURPS Planescape with me, though it was last a year or so ago when we were doing GURPS/3e; the other two were probably in it just for this game only, and one player was running a character that had been an NPC.) I ran an only-slightly-modified version of "Love Letter" out of "Well of Worlds", and the characters did a good job of keeping themselves out of combat-- so some of the crunch didn't come into it. They did make good use of a few GURPS knowledge spells, though, and there were some very key social skills rolls in there as well. It was pretty jolly, although the guy playing the Doomguard fighter seemed to have confused the Doomguard with the Xaositects... (insert irritated rant about D&D alignments and simplistic interpretations).

That's okay, since Pereid (Doomlord of Dust) made the same mistake.

Ah, the GURPS Planescape! 'Tis good to see it has returned Cool.

I wanted to use some of this material a few months back when I started some basic conversions of my own. Guess I don't have to continue with those anymore... Laughing out loud.
