About the adventure
A post-apocalyptic world, in which what little refined gasoline and clean water are worth their weight in gold. Your fearless leader, Maximus Decimus, has led his wild forces to a gasoline reservoir, and will be returning to their citadel with their liquid gold. However, other forces conspire to dethrone him, and his loyal followers must engage in Road Wars as well as fighting their former comrades. The Road Wars are initiated by someone close to him, but who has turned, and who is still loyal to their War King?

About me
I am a longtime TTRPG GM that loves Pathfinder & GURPS, with a large library of books, art assets, and time to share with my players, it is my favorite thing to do. I am a huge fan of roleplay and often modify mechanics to benefit storytelling & session fluidity. I use Foundry VTT, which is free to my players, and includes vast customization options for every campaign & every participant. Please take a look at this Google Sheet for all of my GURPS games: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OIi-Yp_5L2k4LvJ_L-YxgZ_YF7QIsZr4h0PIoit8fKM/edit?usp=sharing
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Characters will be made in GURPS Character Sheet (GCS) a free program with a large database of character-building assets. The PCs are made with 150 Character Points, -50 Disadvantage Limit. Each player will get a chance to consult with the other players in the Discord server, but ultimately will end up making their Character with the GM, before their debut on Session 1.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Have a Discord & Forge Account, as Discord is used for all communication and The Forge is used to host the Foundry VTT game. Both accounts are free to make and maintain. Players should also read GURPS 4th Edition Basic Set, Chapters 1 - 4 to learn how to make an average character. Additional reading ideas will be provided during the character-making process as well as during the Session 0.
What John brings to the table
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. The continuous, evolving Combat will be a backdrop to the real core story, which is rooting out double agents.
