This page gathers a few interesting facts and things worthy of being noted. It searches for ToDo and Note properties on pages, and reports them back here. An important limitation about WikiTalk, though, is that it currently can't process several properties of the same name on one page. This means that you can't put, on one single page, several notes, or several instances of ToDo remarks.

| Forum Threads To Process |
This is a quick conversion guide for GURPS Traveller. Anyone can to read it and put it up for people to edit futher. I think that this is what a lot of people are looking for as we move to fourth edition. The ability to start taking their characters and their equiment across into fourth edition. (Lonewolf) |

| Hiking House Rules |
some people find the previous results really optimistic. According to Hiking Reality Check the problem is mostly because of the length of the basic hiking day, which is 14 hours. Here we should try to come up with some rules that model the fact that such long days of hiking can't be repeated for several days by average characters without them being more and more fatigued, up to the point that they can't hike anymore... |

| House Rules |
This section may grow fast in future, and pages may become too long. I suggest that instead single page for each type of house rules, a list of item is created and each rule or group of interconnected rules gets it's own page. Also, I suggest a two column layout, with balanced number of sections on each column. Each section can have separate page for each sizable or separate rule and a "MiscRules" page for the small tidbits. I can do that if I get approval from lead editor.(author-RaynerApe) |

if your nickname only has one word, you may add brackets ("[" and "]") around it to generate a Wiki link to your own topic. For example, [seasong] generates seasong. However, when you add yourself to the Authors property of a page, don't put brackets. This would prevent your name from being matched by the various WikiTalk scripts that work with properties. Don't forget to remove the brackets from the PeopleWhoContributed property on this page, too. As a general rule, don't put brackets around your nickname when it comes to Wiki properties. |

This glosses over the fact that spells are handled very differently in D&D3.x and GURPS. In D&D a spell's power is dependent on class and any relevent feats while in GURPS the amount of fatigue put into a spell determines its power. For example in D&D 3.x a 5d6 and a 6d6 Explosive Fireball take up one spell slot and fill the same area but in GURPS the 6d6 version takes more energy and covers a larger area. Then there ae spells like Draw Power and Lend Fatigue which have no equivalent in D&D3.x but can boost the power of spellcasters dramatically. |

Converting Heroes Unlimited equipment and weapons to GURPS. |
| Heroes Unlimited Major Powers |
I think that the DR would be better used with DR 20 or 40, with the Tough Skin penalty and the Hardened bonus twice. That way, the total cost would be 125 or 225 points, which is fitting for one of the most powerful abilities. |
How to convert Heroes Unlimited Major Powers to GURPS Advantages. Unlike minor powers, I have not tried to make everything worth the same points cost. Each major power should be worth at least 60 points, however. |

Some abilities have been made less effective than their Heroes Unlimited versions in order to bring them as close to 30 points as possible. 30 points was chosen as this seemed to be the 'average' points value of Heroes minor powers. |

| Pelena |
Pelena is based on my character of the same name from City of Heroes; hence the technological super-powers below are rough conversions of that game's Trick Arrow and Illusion Control power groups. If these technologies are already available in your campaign world, it may be appropriate to change some of those advantages to Signature Gear, although this will largely reduce her points total (depending on the dollar value of the gear). |

| Shooting Range Reality Check |
I'm not sure that 1 point spent in Guns(Rifle) is very fair. 1 point is roughly 200 hours of study, or a week or two of intensive military training. AFAIK, only the "Quick Learning Under Pressure" rules would allow an absolutely untrained rookie to get 1 point in that skill... Without this, he would only have DX-4! Jim Bob#comments: Agreed. DX-4, and the "-3" modifier total, gives us effective skill of 3. Only one in 216 shots will hit the target area, a performance 113 times worse than that actually achieved in practice. Luther#comments: I've to disagree. As Kromm explained 1 cp is in the order of 200 hours of study, more likely to be 60-600 hours. I think 1 cp reflects well this basic training and, as showed on the forums, the GURPS figures are a bit pessimistic but not way too far from reality. |
