IC: GURPS Space One-Shot

Since there seemed to be little interest in a Blue Rose scenario, how about a GURPS Space one-shot adventure? Heroes would be created with 200 points, and several alien species will be permitted, as well as psionics. The plot revolves around a group of explorers who encounter a mysterious derelict ship from a distant past. So, any interest in this? It will be several days (perhaps a month) before I post a recruitment. I need time to convert the adventure from Traveller (which is what I originally wrote it for) to GURPS.

While I own several editions of GURPS character creation has always scared me a little, but I love the genre. So I am interested.

Oh lord, I haven't played GURPS in x decades. But I'm always down for a space game :) Do you have a build guide we can look at or do I need to go to the storage building and see if I can excavate my GURPS books?

Advice in "How to be a GURPS GM" suggests that for a new player you should just ask what kind of concept you want and then create their character for them (other options include templates, build guides, and letting experienced players create their own character and then vetting them). It's not bad advice honestly, I'm curious as to how you might want to handle it.

Anyway, I would probably be down.

This definitely interests me. I have over two dozen GURPS Third Edition books (including GURPS Space) and info on converting to Fourth Edition. Unfortunately, I rarely got the chance to play back in the day.

I can certainly build you characters for you, if you prefer. As for a guide, all I can offer is the GURPS character sheet found at this site. I can also list the templates found in GURPS Space if that helps. They are: Astronaut (Engineering Officer, Fighter Jock, Modern-Day Astronaut, Starship Captain), Bounty Hunter (Repo Man), Colonist (Separatist or Utopian), Con Man (Gambler, Scientific Fraud), Detective (Private Detective, Psionic Detective, Secret Police Investigator), Doctor (Field Medic, Xenomedical Specialist), Explorer (Contact Speicalist), Merchant (Antiquities Dealer, Executive), Scientist (Science Officer), Secret Agent (Superspy), Security Officer (Frontier Marshal, Rescue Squad, Starship Security), Soldier (Armored, Battlesuit Trooper, Engineer, Infantry, Ranger, Space Marine, Elite Trooper, Officer, Veteran), Space Knight, Space Worker, Technician (Inventor), Thief (Cyberspace Thief). Variant builds are in parentheses.
