Co-hosts Che Webster (Roleplay Rescue) and Patrick Mullen (Cry Havoc T2K) talk about GURPS - the Generic Universal Role-Playing System published by Steve Jackson Games - and using it to run long-form roleplaying campaigns. We discuss topics arising from using the game system aimed at intermediate users of the rules who wish to progress towards deeper and more immersive role-play in whatever fictional worlds they imagine.

What do we mean when we talk about character development with the GURPS system?
Che and Pat discuss the concept of bonus character points in GURPS, clarifying that they are not experience points but rewards for attendance and good role-playing. They discuss character development in tabletop role-playing games, focusing on mechanical rewards and how different systems handle character progression. Pat emphasises that mechanical increases in character abilities are a common feature across many RPGs.
Pat and Che discuss their approaches to awarding points in role-playing games. Che explains his system in Karameikos, while Pat shares his method for Twilight 2000. They both emphasise the importance of these awards in motivating players and providing clear objectives for both characters and the party as a whole. Pat and Che discuss the Superior RP Award process, where players nominate peers for outstanding roleplaying moments.
