Who is this GURPS you are speaking about? There are different answers depending on what you mean: SJG, the publisher, would have to purchase the rights to a RPG conversion of the Bioshock material, which is frankly unlikely to happen these days -- too expensive. In past decades, there was GURPS Myth or GURPS Alpha Centauri ... The loyal and productive fan base is slightly less restrained, but even they have to respect intellectual property. Talking about ways to write up this or that copyrighted character on a mailing list is OK, but creating a fan-based GURPS Bioshock site would be messing with two sets of copyright holders. I haven't played the game myself, but I guess plasmids could be handled in part by GURPS Bio-Tech (available in 3E and 4E), and in part by rules for supers (GURPS Supers for 3E, GURPS Powers for 4E, since 4E Supers is about the comic setting). Building a Big Daddy would be 3E GURPS Robots and/or 3E GURPS Vehicles. Unfortunately, 4E isn't that far with the vehicle rules yet. _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
