What's happening in the host's campaigns?
Che and Pat discuss their recent GURPS gaming experiences, with Che sharing his excitement about running a GURPS-powered game set in the world of Karameikos, which had its first successful session.
They note that the system encourages detailed world-building through character bios and mechanical choices, leading to the creation of new organizations, patrons, and story elements.
Che emphasizes the beauty of having multiple narrative threads and the flexibility to adapt the setting based on player input. They also touch on the complexity of managing character motivations and the initial setup of the campaign, which involved a mystery investigation.
Pat shares his own experience of improvising a complex random encounter involving Roman magic users in his Memento Mori campaign, emphasizing the value of spontaneous world-building in gaming. They discuss their approach to game mastering, focusing on how to handle player characters exploring a world with random encounters and organic story development.
