GURPS 4.0?

As it says in the title, I'd love to play in a GURPS game, I've always found the system too intimidating, but I figured I'd take the plunge and see if anyone is willing to run it.

I'd love to play a tank commander using GURPs; other PC's could be commanders too; we'd be a platoon!  Would be great to match Valentines against Panzer Mk. II's in Africa, or Shermans (or T34's!) v. Mk. III' s and better.

Re: GURPS 4.0?

I currently have a couple in the works but I could also put together a solo or small group introductory game in a setting of your choice using just the core rules instead of the smattering of other books my other games will make use of

I would love to participate in an introductory game as well, as I have the two core books only and haven't been able to find a game yet.

Re: GURPS 4.0?

So for an introductory game what sort of setting would people be interested in?  Modern day.  Fantasy,  sci fi, supers

In reply to Astone (msg # 5):

I have a personal interest in Sci-fi, but supers could also be awesome

Re: GURPS 4.0?

Okay cool.  And I could do an interesting twist involving both maybe.  I'll post a few outlines when I get off work tonight and see what you find most interesting.

I may import a couple optional rules or non basic equipment but anything not in core will be fully explained in a game thread

Re: GURPS 4.0?

Okay so the first three that come to mind for each category

Sci-f
Something along the lines of Firefly, Cowboy Bebop, or guardians of the galaxy.  Ragtag bunch of people trying to earn a living

A cyberpunk setting

Post-Apocalypse AI takeover with players as the human resistance


Supers

Super Heroes in the 1920s.multiple power sources by which I mean it is like the marvel univers where science and magic
And other things are all viable options for a hero

 Modern day supers where you work for the government to keep the most powerful supers in line

You are successful supersoldiers but the project is canceled and all evidence including you is supposed to be eliminated.  Leading to life on the run
