Sci-Fi Weapons Table

This article is about role-playing games (Tabletop RPG)

This table was created in order to adapt the stats of some fictional and contemporary weapons to the rules of GURPS 3rd Edition, for use in science fiction scenarios, especially in dystopic Cyberpunk and Space stories, or that take place in the universes of the original works in which the fictional weapons were invented.

The table contains the "Bulk" field, used in Gurps 4th Edition, because the author understands it as a positive innovation that can be easily integrated into games using the previous edition. On the other hand, the table does not include the "technology level" (TL) field, leaving its definition to each narrator.

Regarding the Pfläger-Katsumata blaster, from Blade Runner, the stats reflect the view that it is just a big bore handgun with electronic improvements and exotic ammunition (based on the props of the 1982 and 2017 films). The understanding of it as a “particle beam weapon” already has a parallel in the official GURPS Ultra-Tech books as the “heavy blaster pistol” (however, its stats vary in damage potential and TL between 3rd and 4th Editions).

Contemporary weapons were specifically named and had its stats adapted to what the author understands as more feasible numbers.

This table was created during a RPG campaign that takes place in a futuristic space exploration scenario, in the action-horror genre, called "Lost Decade", created and narrated by the author.
