Everyone makes at least one 50 point character. Then we fight them using all the hyper technical details of GURPS combat. With the typical RPPR style humor. Look at http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/ to get an idea of what GURPS combat looks like.
Use http://sourceforge.net/projects/gcs-java/files/2009.01.01/gcs-2009.01.01.windows.zip/download to make a character.
If anyone had maptools scripts to help speed that up, that would be super.

Well my idea is to run a PVP based game

I checked the character sheet out, but it seemed to be missing a lot (i.e. advantages and disadvantages), is there something special I need to do to get that to show up? Or did screw up before I even started?
: Kroack February 18, 2010, 09:25:46 PM
Wait... does decreasing attributes count towards the Disadvantage limits?
Doesn't it just give you moar points?

Yes, lowered attribute points count against disadvantage total. P 120 of the character book.
Fuck, I gotta drop ten. Hang on, I'll fix him.
Alteration:
Alright, changed enhanced Dodge to enhanced Block and changed Swim to Shield, making Stan's metal garbage can-lib his go to piece of equipment.
Second Alteration:
There, changed the original post. Left HT at 10 so he only gains 25 points from defects. And I dropped Jump a little so I could keep Swim and get Shield.
So Ross, these aren't like arena fights are they? Cus, I got plans.

So I've come to the sad realization that I probably won't be able to figure out GURPS as much as I would like to before playing and that I don't really have the time to roll a character at the moment. However, if you are playing using Maptools and Skype, I would like to sit in and watch if people don't mind and it ends up happening...
Or you could post what kind of bum you want and those of us who are more GURPS aware could design a character for you.
Playing just rolling d6s, it's easy.

Targeted Attack: Knife Thrust; Neck.
Yeah, the Highlander in the MLoEG game I'm planning did something similar, but the neck only takes double damage from cutting attacks and a Knife Thrust is piercing damage. You need to Swing.

I am talking 20-40 damage. To a normal human bad guy.
: Tadanori Oyama February 24, 2010, 05:39:04 PM
So, since I am playing a 500 point badass in a GURPS game - what happens when I make a called shot to the groin with a 9d pi sniper rifle?
I am talking 20-40 damage. To a normal human bad guy.
So, normal human bad guy with only 10 to 12 hitpoints.
Depending on the realism of the game I'd have to say that you can't do that much damage to a dude's groin. It's just not a vital enough organ that taking it off is going to result in instantly death. It would be gruesome, that's for sure.
Of course, GURPS doesn't have people instantly die unless they get to some multipul of their HP in negatives. They do have to make the Health Test to see if they stay alive though.
If you did 20 damage, I would describe the bullet splattering the crotch area and the individual either curling up in an attempt to control the bleed (if he made his check) or his eyes rolling back and crumbling into a heap (if he failed it).
At 40 damage, depending on the tone of the game, I think the bullet would have to hyper-decelerate, imparting maximum impact force, shattering the pelvis bone and likely rupturing any and all internal organs stored within such as the large intestine, the bladder, and possibly the liver.
Any higher than that and he's basically cut in half.
Addition-
If gruesome is the goal than at high damage levels, again using the hyper-decelerate explaination, the bullet could catch his tail bone, ripping it out his back and creating a "rip" at the bottom of the dude's body so that all his vital elements dropped out (since his pelvis and hips shattered from the decelerate force they aren't there to hold anything in) and his liver and other guts would be dangling from his intestines. And if he makes his Health Test than he lives long enough to look down at the mess before dying.

I disagree. The two longest arteries in the body meet in the groin. My doing enough damage to the area you essentially ensure a person bleeds to death.

They met in the upper groin area, coming up from the inside of the thighs, right? My arterial mental map isn't as good. I assumed Ross was literally aiming for the dude's balls, ie the lower groin.
I would assume that with as much damage as Ross does, he's basically splitting the dude's pelvic bone in half.
: Tadanori Oyama February 24, 2010, 06:42:34 PM
Ironically (from my understanding of fire arms) if the guard was wearing something to protect his crotch, than the bullet would be slowed but likely still penetrate. Slowing the round or dulling it's point allows it to transfur additional energy to the subject, resulting in greater damage.
And, of course, if Ross clipped the head of the round before the shot so that the bullet would split on impact than he'd blow the whole lower gut of the guard out his ass.
Well, maybe not exactly that... I exaggerate to make a point.

well it was an unnamed soldier so he pretty much died on the spot
Well of course he died! It's an action movie. What's important is how he died.
Big difference between a railing kill (one of my personal favorites) and a getting shot in the middle of an open field kill.
So, ask a stupid question, why would you aim at his groin to begin with?

Eyeball shots were a bit too hard since I was in a moving car going 90 mph offroad.
Well there you go then. I suppose he was too far away to just throw a knife as well?

He sneaks around the long way, behind the Hot Dog Hut and around Shop Mart and the adjoined Gas Station so he can rig the dumpster in the alleyway. He'll brace the front wheels of the dumpster, then force a wedge against the back wheels from behind so the dumpster is being pushed forwards, held in place by the bracing on the front wheels, then tie a line from the braces to a trip wire so the next person who walks infront of the dumpster will pull loose the braces and the dumpster will roll towards them and (hopefully) crush them against the far wall.
Sneaking in.
Rolling 3d6: (2+1+6): Total = 9
Scrounging for the parts he needs.
Rolling 3d6: (6+1+6): Total = 13
Trapping the dumpster.
Rolling 3d6: (6+1+2): Total = 9

I don't care what you guys are debating - he said his groin isn't vital. Fuck that. My groin is vital.
