I grabbed a copy of the 3rd ed Basic Set, but its a little intimidating haha.

Any recommendations for me to bring to a oneshot night to show why Gurps is neat?

  • In 4e, attributes are priced more consistently than 3e. DX and IQ are always 20 points to upgrade by 1, and ST and HT are always 10.

  • 4e doesn't have any kind of Random Characters.

  • In 4e, HP is based on ST and FP is based on HT, not the other way around.

  • In 4e, psionics is not skill-based and is relatively simpler.

  • 4e doesn't have language skills; instead, languages are separate, and there are four levels (None, Broken, Accented, Native) rather than the full 3d range.

  • 4e Tech Levels are more consolidated and some things are different. As an example, modern day is TL8 (the digital age), rather than TL7.

  • 4e has more damage types than 3e.

  • Mental disadvantages in 4e use a 'self-control roll' instead of a Will roll.
