November 28, 2019: Happy Thanksgiving!Being Canadian, I usually wish people a happy Thanksgiving in October, but this roundup falls on the American holiday, so hey.

GURPS Power-Ups 9: Alternate Attributes (November 21, 2019; PDF) GURPS is famously a toolkit; indeed, many gamers have opined that it's a system for creating a game rather than a game in its own right. By deciding which supplements your campaign will draw on – and within those, which traits and optional rules you'll use – you can make it work for almost any setting, genre, or style of play. Yet a few elements are so fundamental that they'll always be there unless you delve deep into house-rules territory; e.g., using six-sided dice, building characters on points, and rolling low for success. Attributes are one of those cornerstones. Alternate Attributes aims to help you get the gaming experience you want by renaming, repricing, rescaling, subdividing, adding, and subtracting basic attributes and secondary characteristics; recalculating the latter from the former; and then adjusting other traits, point budget, and behavior in play to accommodate your tinkering.
