GURPS:2300AD

[Nordviking]

Has anyone tried a Gurps conversion of 2300AD?

Hello Nordviking,

have a look at this link:

some time ago I saw a pdf with a GURPS conversion, but I cannot find it anymore.

Jeez, that brings back memories. 'twas Matthew and I who did that one, back in '97. We also did a fairly nice GURPS Jorune conversion (http://www.jorune.org/files/gurps.html).

Hope you find some of it useful, Nordviking

Cheers,
Soren

Yup, it is called Transhuman Space or GURPS Terradyne, for the shutterwarp details just pick up GURPS Space for ideas. In all seriousness, I think it was discussed at SJG at one time before they opted for the above products.

Thanks for all the infomation. I've tried to convert the Vehicles over using Gurps Vehicle Builder. So far I have done the BH-21. Getting the same weight as 2300AD canon is impossable !

The PDF in question might be located here: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/andyslack/

Andy is one of the Traveller greats and did alot of work filling those gaps in 2300AD.

For thoes intrested here is what I did for the BH-21 in GVB. Could not get it all to fit in 380kg so the weight is much greater and more realistic.
