About the adventure
After the Troy war, Odysseus (Ulysses) started his journey home and proclaim that the human race would be better off without the gods, thus officially becoming the first "godless" Greek. After very harshly and unsuccessfully trying to convince him otherwise (see "the odyssey" by Homer), Zeus, fed up, decides to give up on Terra and creates a new world where Humans would have to compete with other humanoid races to stay alive and needing the help of the gods to do so.

About me
I am an educator and a ear trainer. I GM games for boys and girls of all ages. Starting at 11 all the way up to 63 years old. I roleplayed for 45 years and been a GM for 35 years. Like almost everyone my age I started playing D&D and was later introduced first to AD&D and later on GURPS, Battletech/Mechwarrior and a few other game systems. Since then have been favoring GURPS for its very adaptive and narrative rules and Battletech for its incredible universe. I created a fantasy universe with 7 chapters/modules. That universe was created using AD&D rules and later adapted for GURPS. The first 2 modules was played at leat 5 times and subsequent modules were added to the time line at the players requests.

Creating your character
The first session will be about character creation. Using the GURPS system including GURPS basic 3rd edition, magic, fantasy folk with some rule changes. Each charracter will have 250 pts (heroic level) starting base. For those who are not familiar with the GURPS system, I will assist them individually.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
We will probably meet in my GURPS Discord channel. I will most likely use the Roll 20 interface for map showing and dice rolling and/or the free version of Fantasy Ground.
What Xavier brings to the table
Every character is part of the story. Every action could be describe as if read from a book. That is why I use the GURPS system. I want to be able to tell details of the action. For ex: "The blow broke his left arm. He had to drop his shield. Ignoring the pain, he raised his sword and kept on fighting." It is much more difficult to do that with the D&D system.
Homebrew rules
40 pts disadvantage max Every race other than humans have some fine tuning, (not exactly as describe in Fantasy Folks) There are other races that are not listed in Fantasy Folks that are available. (to be discussed at session 0S)
