This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Yeah, put out by the same folks (The Tiny Dungeon publishers) who did Solar Blades & Cosmic Spells, and Sharp Swords & Sinister Spells isn't it? They do good stuff. Diogo something. The Old Skull guy.

Gallant Knight Games.  That is correct.

I talked to you about your Cryptworld game and one of my dreams as a gamer has been to play in an X-Files styled campaign.  I'd definitely stick with Cryptworld over GURPS.  I own GURPS 4e and it is quite a rules hog and not a good system imho.

Another RPG I forgot to mention is the now hard to find Supernatural RPG based on the tv series.  It uses the Cortex Classic system and works really well for this kind of game in the modern day.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iDDgmevMHc&ab_channel=GameGeeksRPG

If you are into Gothic horror like me in the vein of the old Hammer Horror films then check out these 2 games:

Leagues of Gothic Horror https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/177744/Leagues-of-Gothic-Horror

And Rippers for Savage Worlds.  Rippers has a very VanHelsing vibe, as In the Hugh Jackman movie.  https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/167295/Rippers-Resurrected-Game-Masters-Handbook  https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/167294/Rippers-Resurrected-Players-Guide

I've wanted to do a Leagues of Gothic Horror campaign for so long now in the spirit of the Hammer Horror films.

Have you ever looked at Chill 3e? It is excellent.   PM me if you would like to discuss.

The problem with GURPS 3E (I never played 4E) is that some Advantages/Disadvantages/Powers didn't really scale well with the Tech Level. A powerful Necromancer in the Middle Ages could become a puny hopeful in a World of Uzis and barrel-mounted grenade launchers - and yet the point cost for his powers remained the same. True, this was not always the case, and the Necromancer could count on factors ranging from the fact that his powers were always with him (even on airplane, for example), to the element of surprise, to powers not tied to direct damage but to more elusive and encompassing effects ("Electrokinesis" could be devastating in a cyberware-heavy environment).

In practice, however, GURPS Magic scaled terribly bad for any TL over three/four. I always wanted to try GURPS Voodoo in a Cyberpunk setting, but I never had the opportunity.

Dunno how and if they tackled these problems in 4E. I heard great things about the "GURPS Thaumatology" line of supplements but I never checked them.

  Missile shield and the bullets are harmless, reverse missiles and all that sweet damage hits the shooter.   So I am not so sure the spell caster is as helpless around tech 7 gear as you may think.  I do not know if this existed in 3e though, as I am looking in the 4e magic book.
