Another thing I like about CP2020 is that the basic rules are fairly generic. Change the skills, gear and lifepath and your set. I'm running a campaign set in the present time, where the players are occult investigators, and I simply deleted Cyberware, told the players to document whatever prices and gear they wanted, added a magick system courtesy of P.E.I.Bonewitz and made some obvious modifications to available skills. Voila! Instant horror! The mods to get a medieval campaign going are somewhat more involved, but still not bad. New roles are also readily created, which should eliminate the GURPS fan's cry of "No More Character Classes!" |o|\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/|o| |o| Of Course I speak | michael carson | Carpe Diem, Man. |o| |o| only for myself. | c1741@moncol.monmouth.edu | Carpe Vitam, too. |o| |o| Would YOU let me +---------------------------+-------------------------|o| |o| speak for you?!? | All flames to: nobody@moncol.monmouth.edu |o| |o|\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/|o|
