Very few added systems (no funkly low-tech additions, no ritual path magic) and maybe not even that much from his own book (Martial Arts).<br /><br />Nathan runs DF with more options turned on. Full use of Peter's book, various reworkings of the basic armor rules for weight vs protection changes.<br /><br />I've read about his, and am a player in Nate's, and they both are five kinds of cool.Douglas Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292678529266123501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-40735843270872114642014-07-13T10:19:46.497-04:002014-07-13T10:19:46.497-04:00The changes between 3e and 4e were so most dramati...The changes between 3e and 4e were so most dramatic so I will summerize them off the top of my head here.<br /><br />Pre-4e, Fatigue was based on Strength and Hit Points were based on Health. 4e switched this so that Hit Points are based on Strength and Fatigue is based on Health. <br /><br />Pre-4e, bullets did crushing damage, 4e created a new damage type just for bullets called piercing. Burn and Explosion were also added to the damage types in 4e.<br /><br />Pre-4e, character advantages, depending on genre, were often purchased with a combination of character points and cash. Your cyborg, for example, would buy his innate advantages with character points but to get his cybernetic advantages, he needed to use money, either though the wealth advantage or purchasing money directly with character points. 4e is standardized so that advantages all costs character points with the exception of mundane equipment which can still be bought with money.<br /><br />Pre-4e, vehicles and robots were designed using a different system than characters. In 4e, vehicles and robots are built with character points and have abilties and advantages and disadvantages the same as characters.<br /><br />Other than the above and some rebalancing and refiguring of costs and tech levels, 4e is still the same game as earlier editions. goeticgeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02806200047269447375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-19000954891496023962014-07-12T23:08:23.409-04:002014-07-12T23:08:23.409-04:00There were a lot of changes between 2e and 4e.

The biggest adjustment they made was to streamline combat to a certain degree. It's still a bit fiddly, but much less than 3rd Edition. I think 4e was pretty well received by the fan base and it compatible enough with 3e that conversions aren't too terrible.<br /><br />GURPS Discworld and "Discworld Also" are nice splat books, but a somewhat odd fit for the Discworld setting. It might almost be better to try something like Savage Worlds or FATE with the Discworld setting. GURPS IOU is an interesting setting book as well if you are into zany fantasy/sci-fi/pulp cross-over books.Raging Owlbearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10556804177905125874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-66723912221393658602014-07-12T22:20:58.574-04:002014-07-12T22:20:58.574-04:00The biggest difference is between 3rd and 4th edit...The biggest difference is between 3rd and 4th editions.
