GURPS 4E Utilities

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.frp.gurps (More info?)

So, I was looking on the GURPS site, and saw that the vast majority of
utilities are still 3E. Are there any made up for 4E yet? I especially
liked Warren Wilson's combat play aids. I would also like to see a "body"
with hit location information listed on it, without having to photocopy the
book. Of course, *anything* is better than nothing ;-)

You're not the only one.
I'd expecially like to see a computer program like a "Character
Builder". It should not be that difficult to do.
I used for 2 years the GURU, and I liked it A LOT.
In 4th ed., it should be easier to do, thanks to the flat costs.

Well GURPS Character Assistant is the official utility for GURPS 4th
edition. http://www.sjgames.com/gurps/characterassistant/

Unfortunately it is delayed. The GURPS 4th edition page lists it as coming
out March 2005.

Will it be free?
I'll check it anyway... And use it surely if it's free!

I can wait... Sitting aside the river (I have REALLY my home 50 meters
away from the longest river of Italy). 😛

No it won't be free. It will cost about $20 (I think a little less for
download only).

Lucky you, I'm sure it's very scenic. Although, you are probably in the
flood zone, so I don't envy you during heavy rains and the insurance is
probably quite steep.

Really, it's a quite ordinary area, with 2-story houses, little towns,
etc., but I can reach Mantova (Mantua), Ferrara and Padova (Padua) in
more or less 1h by car or train each. ^__________^

The last flood we had here was in 1951, and it was really a disaster.
We had a huge rising of waters a few years ago, but nothing happened
thanks to the higher riversides built after "the '51".

The floods are more common in the centre-to-south area (I'm in the
north, 70-80 Km away from Venezia (Venice)), and they are not so
common anyway. I sleep safe. ^____^
