Kromm says, "Points will exist in the spirit of a running tally, not a conserved quantity."ĭlpulver says, "It should also be mentioned that TS is not a strictly space centred setting. points will still be tracked, but experience won't be held back if you upload your brain into a starship and suddenly gain ST 10,000."īlacksmith says, "no you can not learn anything ofr a 1000 years" Kromm : Not pointless, but not balanced via harsh and unforgiving accounting.ĭlpulver says, "Characters will be able to oscillate wildly in point total as they alter their bodies - or are altered. Kromm says, "So the TH philosophy will be implicit, but visibly so."Ĭd : the question would probably be reversed: will posthumans view humans as people or property. Kromm says, "These books will actually take a different approach to running the game, too - flexible outlook on points, different approach to skills in an expert-system-heavy environment, etc." It will be a "realistic" setting rather than a utopian (or dystopian) one. JamesG says, "Can I jast say a quick thankyou for holding the chat at a decent time :)"īlacksmith says, "are they viewed as property or people?"ĭlpulver says, "Another issue worth mentioning: this is in many ways the `world book' for GURPS Biotech's vignettes." It's also a chance to extrapolate future trends and technologies, and create a swashbuckling half-sf setting that is as fun as any space opera, and easier to GM as well."ĭlpulver says, "The basic concepts - uploading, altering your own body, smart drugs, and so on will be covered."ĭlpulver says, "Posthumans will be presented in a neutral fashion - some people think that evolving everyone into super beings is good, others are frightened by it."Ĭd will probably forgo stuff like food to buy this series. Kromm : It will be integrated into the design, but not worn on the sleeve in a 'Philosophy' sidebar, most likely.ĭlpulver says, "Yes, badman. SwiftOne says, "I've got the concepts, but I'm curious if any major decisions have been solidified or changed since the last chat"Ĭd says, "okay, will this coverany transhumanist philosophy?"Īnthony says, "relatively realistic at least )" JHG baps Ralzakark! Ralzakark has been baptized.īadman says, "Realistic colonizing of the solar system, right?" Sauronth says, ""Is this an evil plot to limit the number of attendees by holding the chat at 3pm?"" Kromm says, "And we want Europe to know about this, too :)"ĭlpulver says, "So, is everyone familiar with the basic concepts?"ĭlpulver says, "Or would you like some discussion of that first?" SwiftOne expresses gratitude for the unusual-hour chat Testing, testing."ĭlpulver says, "And also, to give JFZ a chance to hold forth a bit more, as he was lurking on the sidelines mostly last time." Kromm says, "For the log: GURPS TRANSHUMAN SPACE chat #2. Find out what developments have taken place since the last TS chat.ĭlpulver says, "It is scheduled at this ungodly hour for those of you who might not be able to make other ones, such as post-humans, etc." Zeigler talk about the GURPS Transhuman Space series, an upcoming line of hard sf world books set in the solar system. Pulver, Sean Punch and (hopefully) Jon F. Pyramid Chat 05/08/00: Sean Punch David L.
