Vegans in GURPS

Post Reply New Topic

I really hate ultra radical types regardless of what they are standing for - all they do is alienate other people . . . plus, I can't afford to be that much of a purist

But, having said that I think consistency is important, too - like vegetarians that wear leather but not fur are amusing to me . . .

I don't think anyone is concrete enough to block out every process that kills animals from their lives. Oh well. I can cook some awesome vegetarian meals! All you really do is substitute meat for mushrooms and nuts.

The topic was about the feasibility of a vegan race called Vegans in a game called GURPS. GURPS is an acronym for Generic Universal Roleplaying System.

GURPS differs from Dungeons and Dragons in that it doesn't have levels or pre-defined character classes. Rather, characters are created by spending a number of points alloted by the gamemaster at character Creation (as well as being awarded as experience). The system uses 3d6 instead of the D20, creating a skill bell-curve. And in general, combat is a surefire way to die (although it still remains more forgiving than games like Riddle of Steel).

Err...no; however, the GM has every right to deny you extra experience points for the sake of "bad roleplaying." This means, if you will be messed up if you lie and have the "Truthful" disadvantage. Oh, BTW, as the game is point based, taking disadvantages gives you extra points to spend on other things (advantages, attributes&skills).

LOL! I'm vegan (been vegan for like 12 years) and I found this article to be really funny.

I agree with TaliDaRadical, and I am a vegan too, though only for about 10 years.

There is a mistake though, the Vegan Scoiety was founded in 1944 and so they would have to have landed on Earth much earlier than 1970.
