About the adventure
A group of friends and strangers are exposed to a radioactive meteorite, but are released when experts confirm they are fine. Afterwards, they experience a strange phenomena, and have gained the power of Astral Projection when they sleep. Now, they manifest an alter ego with superpowers, to help fight their crime-ridden city. However, others were exposed as well, and an outbreak of superheroes & supervillains. Thanks to their powers, the real people can work their 9-to-5 jobs and maintain their normal lives. Should they die in "Astral-form", they only lose partial health, and can recover over time, to continue their regular lives.

Additional details
How to prepare
Bring a solid character idea, and maybe character art, with a token. You'll need to have Discord to communicate. Reading GURPS 4e Basic Set is all that I ask, additional books & rules will become available as needed. The players should also make sure they have GCS (see above).
What I provide
Foundry VTT, which is free to players, a library of GURPS 4e books that will be available to players, and custom art assets & maps, some powered by AI. Ambient music will be used to set the tone and mood of a location or scene. The players will be expected to roleplay heavily throughout the session. Any Combat or Puzzles will be laid out smoothly to aid in the creation of solutions and tactics.
Gameplay details
The GM and players will have a Session 0 where they discuss content they don't want to see, and how to go forward so everyone is happy. Players can also discuss breaks, as needed, for longer sessions.

How will character creation work
Character Creation will take place individually, with each respective player and the GM. Once both parties agree, the characters will be introduced to each other in a Session 0, which will include meshing the characters. Character Creation will remain active until Session 3, meaning players can fiddle with their character for a bit to make sure it is a right fit. This is to ensure everyone is having fun with their characters, and no one feels like they wasted points on a feature. Character will be created in GURPS Character Sheet (GCS), which is a free program with comprehensive data on GURPS 4e.
