This was going to be a post reiterating the rpocess to convert GURPS 3E into Unisystem. The RPG (like FUDGE) which was designed to cover the percieved flaws in GURPS and had a long line of supplements.
Unfortunately, I cannot find the site for the GURPS conversion anymore and that sort of mirrors how Unisystem can't be found either. it being reliant on you sifting out the zombies from their zombie + genre books and readapting their Buffy game. Unisystem's generic book remaining in development hell and Eden Studios retreating back to just being a games store.
So I'm going to reiterate a different site instead and hope anyone who still cares about Unisystem goes through and downloads anything nthye find useful before time erases it.

For a site that hasn't been updated since 2020, it has had quite a life of constant updates since 2001. I particularly enjoy using this site to compose mash-up properties where I can use the adaptions as extra enemeis or as translation keys to mix system.
And while I am under no delusion that boolstering this site on my blog will bring it no more traffic than punching in "Unisystem to BLANK conversion" into Google, I hope it inspires someone else.
I especially like mashing Star Wars with other settings as the used-future meets fairy-tale fantasy nature of the Galaxy is flexible enough to include anything so long as you can sufficiently obscure it's origins.
Hey! Thanks for the shout out. You are right I haven't posted anything since 2020. I've been slowly moving away from Unisystem, trying to create a Frankensteinian system with it, Mutants & Masterminds 3e, DC Heroes and Godsend Agenda 3 to us ein my supers game.
ReplyDeleteBut every now and them I use Unisystem, mostly the cinematic version. I plan to do a new version of the Star Wars adaptation, but I have no idea when.
Anyway, thanks again! :]
