GURPS goes 4th Edition... yeappeeeaaaa

GURPS: Generic Universal RolePlaying System from Steve Jackson Games We are happy to get see that the new Edition of the GURPS system come out now. As the 3. Editon was still good it developed over the time some inconsistencies and knacks. For most games the old edition is stil good and mostly better as other "like to be" universal systems.

The main thing of change are a more modular system for rule uses. It give the Gamemaster a little bit better ability to set focus on "quick'n'dirty" or "high detail" characters and campaign planing. There are now skill-groups that can be used to represent a profession or university study that include some skills rather as before a lose collection of some skills a charakter learned. This give a muche higher degree in developing character story and background descriptions.

If you like to try it by yourself, there is a free aviable GURPS-light of the 4th Edition as PDF.

Or much better just order the "Gurps Basic Set: Characters" and "Gurps Basic Set: Campaigns" Basic Rulebooks at Amazon.com or Amazon.de

Books from Robert M. Pirsig and his Metaphysic

After parsing the website of FreeMind I was surprised to read there about Robert Pirsig. Especial about the recommendation on a book called Lila I never heard about that book before but seems it was published some years more early and now get sold out. Look like it has an interesting insight on some metaphysic.
The interesting there is the way of thinking and constructing personal metaphysics. It is, in his idea, kind like people who use the FreeMind-Software love to note down her work and ideas.
It seems that outside more books and people with great philosophical ideas exist as we can get before our eyes. There is realy the need to collect and group all of that existing philosophical seeds of meta-universes to give people a more easy overview and guideline. People need to have seeds from many different directions and kinds of metaphysics to develop there personal thoughts that will bring humanity to higher level of illumination.

Late night posting VS. Cascading Styles
