What do we mean when we talk about character development with the GURPS system?


Che and Pat discuss the concept of bonus character points in GURPS, clarifying that they are not experience points but rewards for attendance and good role-playing. They discuss character development in tabletop role-playing games, focusing on mechanical rewards and how different systems handle character progression. Pat emphasises that mechanical increases in character abilities are a common feature across many RPGs.


Pat and Che discuss their approaches to awarding points in role-playing games. Che explains his system in Karameikos, while Pat shares his method for Twilight 2000. They both emphasise the importance of these awards in motivating players and providing clear objectives for both characters and the party as a whole. Pat and Che discuss the Superior RP Award process, where players nominate peers for outstanding roleplaying moments.
