The quaint town of Sandpoint
This is part of a series of small posts meant to begin harboring interest for the upcoming GURPS campaign taking place in the world of Golarion. This is also a summarized excerpt from a larger Player’s Guide that will be provided to players once it has been finalized.
The following are a set of traits that have been converted from the associated campaign traits present in the Pathfinder campaign guide for this conversion. While this is not meant to be entirely a conversion of the entire path as is, much of the material from this guide is still relevant.
These are not required but are merely traits that could be added to a character sheet for a certain degree of benefit or definition. Other reasons are allowed for why a character would be in the town of Sandpoint, the same town from the previous Rise of the Runelords campaign I ran. Just make sure to provide insight into a character’s background before the start of the campaign.
Further detail and insight into these traits will be present in the Lest Dispelled Player’s Guide, but take any relevant information from the Pathfinder guide as gospel for now.
