However, I am broke and buying Tabletop Simulator at this time is not a smart decision.
In regard to port forwarding, you either login into your router, if your ISP allows router access, or call isp to do it for you, however some scummy ISPs may want you to pay for that.
First you should google "router model port forward" and "your isp port forward"
If you check that and it's ok you can open command prompt and input "ipconfig" and press enter
Your routers ip address should be listed as something like "default gate"
You input that ip into your browsers address bar and you should see something like a router access panel that will ask you for login and password, if you have them they usually are on a sticker on your router, if you don't then your ISP probably doesn't want you accessing the router.
From that point information you find when you googled "router model port forward" and I guess this
https://forums.rptools.net/viewtopic.php?t=3492 should carry you.
I hoped that helps you.

I can't see something like this being fun online without VC. Stamps and text have their limits. if someone is tired, they could just not talk much or only when they have to. I'm not planning to play, just saying.
I watched ¨Houkago Saikoro Club¨ (After School Dice Club) while it was airing. It's a regular SoL about TTG, can't really recommend it unless you're into them. I have no idea how this works but someone made a steam workshop collection with the games they play in it.

Also for the books, just go to 4/tg/ and find the GURPS thread. You'll know where to find it.
Right now I'm thinking, at least on my end is that the players would need Basic Set, Martial Arts, and Action series. We'll probably be also doing Gun-fu too.
So in short:
This what you'll need to at least skim over:
Basic Set (One Volume)
Action (1-4, 7)
Martial Arts
Gun-Fu
In terms of points, everyone starts off with 200 points to spend on their character. With Appearance (Beautiful) at [0].

I've been playing Baldur's Gate for some 24 years now.
No.119256
>>119254A couple of things:
You should have some advantages like combat reflex/disadvantages so can have more points.
Also you are free to use any of the templates from the Master Library thing, I would recommend since this is an action game, go to Action > Classes > Specialists, and grab whatever you feel would work for your character.
Change the tech level to 8.
Skills increase by 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16 etc, so you're basically wasting points
Wrench needs to have the skill level, just have it be associated with the Mace skill. (Click on the Wrench item, go into melee, scroll down until you see: Default and change it to be Mace at +0)
Good things of note:
Increasing your dexterity is a good thing, means you aren't spending points on skills.
In short good job, most people would panic at this stage, make sure you keep the GCS file so you can update the character as well. Also skim-read Basic Set.
Also on Saturday we'll be in the process of fine-tuning the characters so there more optimized.

It's no issue for me, and the first real tabletop session with like dice rolls and true combat is next week, this Saturday we're just trying to otmpize the characters and get a crash-course on the system, like contest rolls, combat roll (Attack, if defender defends, no damage, if defender fails their defence, they take damage) that kind of shit.

No.119320
I'll probably post the roll20 link tonight.
>>119318I only have two issues:
1) The skills usually have like an Easy, Medium, Hard, Very Hard kind of thing, I'm assuming you're going with easy for all of them (which makes it at +0) which is why the skills are like, really high
2) You need a ranged attack if you want to be viable in this game. Or at least stealth so you can use that wrench of your as a club.
All of this will be rememdied tomorrow so let's not worry about it too much.
No.119321

No.119425

Plus its like dwarf fortress adventure mode where combat is like, you can target a limb at -2 for a targeted and minus the hit location.
So for example, Combat Medic getting hit in the torso, damage is 40, it negates 35 of the damage.
Any of this make sense?
