Good news, everyone! Everything is now free. If you cancel your subscription, I'm not going to hold it against you. If you do not cancel - I will appreciate your support!

Well, the Discord channel didn't last long, since Discord got blocked over here. Unless a stable way to circumvent it emerges, I will be unable to check what's going over there and post updates. Posting updates here would get annoying quickly with all the notification emails, so I decided to introduce an update sidebar on the blog where you'll be able to see the updates to GCS libraries and Monstrous Compendium.

In addition, since Discord doesn't work anymore, if you ever need to contact me, you can send me a message here on Boosty, leave a comment on the blog, or contact me on Twitter/X (@EnragedEggplant).

These are the libraries of all my wizardry spells to make character creation easier. Will be updated as new spells are written.

I decided to create a Discord server. Even though I'm not a fan of this platform, it still may be useful for the ease of communication. So, if you'd like to talk all things GURPS, make suggestions, or even help me with my projects, feel free to join! (Well, since now it's blocked, I'll remove the link)

All right, let's have some more high-effort content than what I was posting previously. This is the first installment of my unofficial GURPS Monstrous Compendium. The idea is to rework the standard GURPS statblock to make it more useful for the GM. With this format, the GM will have to flip through the books much less, and even when he has to do it, he will have page references to know exactly where to look. For now, the monsters are D&D conversions, but as always, they are not 100% identical to their original versions, as I always rework certain abilities and remove others. Systems are different, game assumptions are different, and some abilities make no sense in GURPS. However, we have to keep in mind that monster lore between different books and editions is different, and sometimes significantly so. Very often, you may encounter contraditions or retcons. For these monsters, I'm trying to do due diligence and combine all lore into a single monster entry. Of course, since contradictions are impossible to avoid, I have to choose what version I like more and sometimes even expand the information with stuff of my own making. So, don't use this manual as "100% D&D canon material," this is just my version.

Now that the document is big enough, I am releasing it for the general public for free. The work-in-progress version of MCII will be available for the supporters once I get to it.

This is different from the RAW Psionics library that I posted earlier. This one includes all my houserules (some powers do not exist anymore, some were merged, some split, some got new limitations, etc.) and all psionic abilities from my blog.

When I wanted to build a certain psionic monster in GCS, I found out that the Psionic Powers library that GCS has is something of a hack job. Instead of giving you full ability builds, you are given abilities are prebuilt packages that you cannot adjust. Thus, I decided to make a proper library myself. Now, you can take any psionic ability and adjust it in any way you'd like.

However, you may notice some differences in point costs. Most of them are related to how GURPS Psionic Powers calculates costs for abilities that deal partial dice of damage. The book intentionally omits one step of rounding, which isn't something you can do in GCS. What you see in this library is what it is supposed to cost with proper rounding. In most cases, the difference is very minor, but sometimes it is noticeable. In certain other cases, the costs are different because the book has miscalculations. Later on, I'm planning to create a library for my own psionic abilities with all the houserules and new/altered stuff.

Have you ever wanted to simply take a ready-made monster statblock from the blog and modify it in GCS? Or simply import it into Foundry and have your player character fight it? Now you can. Well, sort of, because this batch does not contain all the monsters, but merely some of them. Some made by me, some made by one of the subscribers (Egor Shaposhnikov; big thanks to him!)

In the future, I (or we) will expand this library further.

Update (March 12, 2024): many new sheets

Update (February 11, 2024): many new sheets, some edits to the old ones

Update (December 26, 2023): updated some of the sheets, added many new ones (see the changelog file)

This archive contains GCS files for the occupational templates from my blog. At this moment, only templates for the core 11 D&D classes are present, but I will convert the rest later.

This post contains a compilation document of all my Sorcery spells, a spreadsheet for colleges and costs, and a GCS library. Will be kept updated.
