Introduction
Like most gamers, I started RPGing with Dungeons and Dragons. For me it was specifically AD&D 2nd edition, with the classic Deities & Demigods that contained Forbidden Knowledge. I was introduced to GURPS in 1990 and was soon running games in a variety of genres and worlds. I converted all my D&D NPCs, adventures, and other data to GURPS format. I've only returned to the D&D system once or twice since then and as a player only. As a GM my games tend more toward role-playing and problem-solving than number-crunching combat or Monty Hall hording. Most of my campaigns are grounded in realism, but aren't by any means staked to the ground.
My Campaigns
GURPS Zombie Apocalypse. My favorite genre of contemporary horror are zombie films, from classic Romero to present-day B-grade fare. This campaign will seek to cover an epic spread of zombie history, from the initial incidences of the plague through the outbreaks to the eventual near-extinction of mankind (and after). Inspired by the Max Brooks novel, Word War Z.
GURPS Eire. What about an Ireland where the Christian priests didn't eradicate all-things Celtic? Where the Druids evolved to become co-protectors of the kingdom, along with kings and warriors? Where magic thrived and all manner of exotic creature roamed? A quasi-historic justification of a high-mana, high fantasy Ireland.
GURPS Dark Jazz. My interest in 1920s Los Angeles, my love of jazz music, and my alternate universe combine to make this campaign hip and twisted.
GURPS Burqué. Formerly known as GURPS Hackers, this game utilizes characters from my own life and history, slightly altered of course (it is an alternate universe, after all). Most of the NPCs in these games correspond to some individual who actually exists in this worldstream (i.e. Earth Prime).
