GCS Master Library

GCS Master Library Data

GURPS¹ Character Sheet (GCS) is a stand-alone, interactive, character sheet editor that allows you to build characters for the GURPS 4^th Edition roleplaying game system.

This repository holds the Master Library data files for the GCS project.

Most of the data here has been entered in by users of GCS and contributed back to the project for everyone to make use of. If you see mistakes or omissions that you've fixed in your copy, or have data files you'd like to contribute, please create a Pull Request to get them merged into the Master Library. A contributor to the library created this short video tutorial demonstrating the Pull Request process. If you are unable to create a Pull Request for some reason, you can instead create an Issue and attach the file(s) containing your changes to it, along with an explanation of what it is you changed.

When adding page references, please use the abbreviations from this list. If the book isn't in the list yet, please ask what should be used so that this list can be updated appropriately.

gcs_master_library's Issues

Create Halfling ancestry data

As of GCS v4.35, it has been possible to create custom ancestry data to control how the various randomizable attributes on a character sheet are generated.

Can't use body type or attribute presets anymore

This is a regression. I saw the option a few versions back, and just noticed it's gone. I can still manually edit the attributes and body type, but there's no way to load presets anymore.

Arch Linux (amd64, linux 5.13.8-arch1-1)
GCS 4.34 (Java 15.0.2)

Windows 10 (amd64, version 21H1, build 19043.1110)
GCS 4.34 (Java 15.0.2)

I'm making this an issue as I don't see any other issues or open/closed pull requests explaining why it's been removed, so I'm assuming it's a bug.

Tactical Shooting Targeted Attack Rounding Error

GURPs Tactical Shooting Pg 45 on Targeted Attack states
The default penalty equals the modifier to hit the target: -2 for Arm or Leg, -3 for Groin, Pelvis, or Vitals, -4 for Hand or Foot, -5 for Face or Neck, -7 for Skull, or -9 for Eye. It’s -10 for chinks in armor on any of these locations (this replaces that location’s penalty), but only -8 for chinks in torso armor. Assume -4 for Weapon; use such a TA normally for pistols, etc., but roll at +1 vs. large weapons (rifle, etc.), -1 vs. small ones (dagger, holdout pistol, etc.).

By improving TA, the shootist can buy off up to half of his default penalty (round up). Write the TA as “TA (Specialty/Target).”

Examples: TA (Pistol/Leg) defaults to Guns (Pistol)-2 and can’t exceed Guns-1. TA (SMG/Skull) defaults to Guns (SMG)-7 and can’t exceed Guns-3

GCS' preconfigured skill in tactical shooting rounds down, not up for all instances of the skill. This just appears to be an issue in the setting of the preconfigured skill and is easily adjustable
Specific example: TA (GUN/Skull) capped at -4 instead of -3.

Transhuman Space Page Reference Mappings have many errors.

Transhuman Space Bioroids.txt

Martial Arts Iron Legs incorrect location DR

The Iron Legs advantage/perk is supposed to grant additional DR to the legs only if additional points are spent, with a single point obtaining bonus effect ST to the area to make it safer to kick and the like. However, as it is currently coded, it instead functions exactly like Iron Hands, granting Hand DR at 1 point per rank.

Disintegrator Pistol (Ultra-Tech) should have damage "6dx6(∞)" not "1d+2"

Converting old files

The installer for 4.22.1 doesnt work making it impossible for me to convert my old gcs files

Wrong page for LT's Cord/Rope item

Should be LT23 instead of LT43

[Master Library] Added conditional modifiers to Hard to Kill and Hard to Subdue

Added conditional modifiers to:

Referenced PDF aren't opening on GCS

Previously, referenced books were open inside GCS in a tab, with the term highlighted. Now, when I click "open reference page", my web browser opens with the pdf file.
Is this a new feature or a bug?

Crewman/TL missing from Basic Set Skills

It's on B185.

Search bar for character sheets

Hello, I would like you to bring back the search bar for the character sheet section, the search bar is a useful feature to manage the characters, including but not limited to:

• Finding duplicated elements (skills, items, abilities, etc.)
• Finding elements hidden in collapsed containers, such as templates
• Finding notes entered via GCS in a character sheet.
• Quickly navigating through relevant elements of a playable character
• Micro-managing characters using the GCS software in the computer, instead of converting the file to other formats and using third party programs (PDF readers, web-browsers, etc.)

GCS is a great program, thanks a lot!

High-Tech Advantages library contains incorrect references for Talents

The High-Tech Advantages library lists the talents Antiquary, Cunning Folk, Evil Computer Talent, Mesmerist, and Occultist, Poet, and Unseelie Talent. Most of these contain page references to H19+ and PU3:6-17. These talents are from Horror, not High-Tech, and I believe they are misplaced.

Skill tags misspell "Maintenance" as "Maintainance".

Thaumatology page references

There are a few references to Thaumatology using "Th:" instead of "T", is this a mistake?

Basic Set Skills - Mechanic/TL (Clockwork) has incorrect page number

Problem: Basic Set skill "Mechanic/TL (Clockwork)" has its page number pointing to B107

Solution: The page number should be B207

misconfigured prerequisites

should be "whose name is Unusual Background (Psionic)" instead it's "whose name is "

Can't add limited use limitation modifier to Spells

As the title says, limited use modifiers cannot be added to spells or skills, only to advantages and disadvantages for some reason.

Wrong white space, small export bug to Fantasy Ground PC xml (dis/advantages)

Hi,
just tried out the function in V.4.32 to export a character sheet for Fantasy Ground PC (xml format).

Basically it worked fine, but I found a little issue regarding the export of advantages:
The export file contains an additional (wrong) space character (blank, white space) at the end of the name string, as can be seen below in the example! I don't think it was intentional...

<adslist> <id-1429c314-d18d-4f50-a135-1bb1b6268cc7> <name type="string">Absolute Direction </name> <points type="number">5</points>

For the test I used GCS on Linux Mint 18.3 x64.

Minor default fix (Breath Fire)

The default Melee Weapon attack for Breath Fire Spell should be DX-2 (M76) instead of DX-4.

Code of Honor (Theatrical) missing from Banestorm Advantages

It's on BS186.

Add Crewman skill to Basic Set skill list

Psidar Advantage is missing

The Psidar advantage from Psionic Powers is not avaible on the default libray, just the skill.

TA and Combinations

Are Targeted Attacks (MA68) and Combinations (MA81) missing from the Martial Arts skill list? I can't find them. Yes, they are optional, but they are so widely-used that they should probably be included.

Page Reference Basic Set Campaigns should have BX instead of B als letter

Environment: all
How to reproduce the Bug: Example: See note section of Monsters and Animals (e.g. Basilisk or Camel). Page reference is B459 but should be BX459

Further analysis:

Striker Advantages Missing Modifiers

I'm not sure whether it is intentional, or if there's some limitation with implementation, but all Strikers are missing modifiers completely, but I've seen it be a problem for a long time. You have to edit them manually each time to add the modifiers. So, it would be nice if they were there even if they didn't do anything, so they can be enabled to make modifications to their cost.

Health (Alchemy) default is wrong in Magic Skills

This technique's default is Alchemy-2 (M217). Currently, it is set to Alchemy-1.

DFRPG should offer trait skills not including template-restricted stuff

There should be a trait list without the exclusive abilities described only within templates, such as Heroic Archer, Lifting ST and Herb Lore. It should be feasible to sort by page reference and exclude everything within professional or racial templates, rather than manually.

Heavy Sleeping Bags have incorrect prices and weights

The heavy sleeping bags from High-Tech have incorrect prices and weights. They should be as follows:
Heavy Sleeping Bag (TL6): $100, 15 lbs
Heavy Sleeping Bag (TL8): $500, 4 lbs

export to text does not include spells

File -> Export ->Text PC
Spells are missing

File -> Export ->HTML PC
Spells are there

Content for Discworld?

Any chance of Discworld 4th edition content being added to the library? Also, Girl Genius.

Missing Libraries for Social Engineering.

I can put in a PR for this, if nobody else is already working on it?

Corrected Short Bow Acc from 2 to 1 across all ST levels in Basic Set Equipment

v5.0.0 installer does not open

I tried to download GCS v5.0.0 today for Windows 10 but after extracting and running the file as administrator it won't open. I checked the FAQ and looked for a "%SystemRoot%\Sun\Java\lib\ext" folder to delete, but I have no folder, so I don't think it's a problem with Java. Several installations won't work. My installation of GCS 4.37.1 works fine. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this issue.

Master Library v3.7: Basic Set Skills

Hello!

Minor issue, dead easy fix. Riding (Equine) defaults to Animal Handling (Equine) HOWEVER the Animal Handling skill is (Equines) which breaks the default behavior.

Just need to update the Riding (Equine) default to be Equines for whenever the Master Library is next updated.

Create Elven ancestry data

As of GCS v4.35, it has been possible to create custom ancestry data to control how the various randomizable attributes on a character sheet are generated.

Create Dwarven ancestry data

As of GCS v4.35, it has been possible to create custom ancestry data to control how the various randomizable attributes on a character sheet are generated.

"No Depth Perception" Page reference, in Basic Set Advantage Library, listed as 144 instead of 145.

Hopefully this is the correct place to report a minor typo, I don't know if I would actually call it a BUG?

Output Template Loop Counter Documentation

Documentation on the Loop Counters is missing from the Output Template Documentation at https://gurpscharactersheet.com/output_templates.html

The new Output Template variables are available for loops. The new variables follow the same format as the loop start variable — replace “_START” with “_COUNT”.

TL6 Geiger Counter is missing from the High Tech Equipment list

TL6 Geiger Counter is missing from the High Tech equipment list (the TL8 is listed, though)

This was listed on page 49 of the GURPS High Tech book

Bizarrely, the After the End equipment list does have the TL6 Geiger Counter (with a cost modifier)

Missing "Dispel Magic" from DF9:15 Necromancer

On page 15 of Dungeon Fantasy 9, the Necromancer can take Dispel Magic if they have Counterspell and 12 other Deathly spells. It looks like it is missing as an option in the package for GCS, or am I wrong...

Master Library missing classes from Dungeon Fantasy 20

Master Library missing classes from Dungeon Fantasy 20

Detect Lies should get +3 due to Empathy (15) but only gets a +1

I have a sheet for a character that spent 15 points on Empathy and GCS is only giving Detect Lies a +1 due to that. The +1 is apparent according to both mousing-over the Detect Lies skill level and by reading the raw JSON file as well as calculations based on the raw data (character has a Per of 15, spent 2 points on Detect Lies [Per/H] to get an unmodified skill value of Per-1, Empathy only adds +1 to get the value shown on the sheet of 15).

IIUC, GURPS B51, says Empathy(15) should add a +3 to Detect Lies, Fortune-Telling, and Psychology (Empathy 5 adds a +1).

This is for GCS v4.37.1 on Windows 10.

Am I missing something, here?

Wrong book abbreviation for Transhuman Space

Hi,

this is my first reported bug, so please be gentle with me but feel free to let me now, if I should do something differently next time.

I noticed that in the Master Library (v4.16) several traits (e.g. all Infromorph templates) the page references use the abbreviation TS (Tactical Shooting), not THS, which it should be according to https://gurpscharactersheet.com/page_references.html

I would guess that a replace in the "reference" tags (TS->THS) should fix the problem ("TS" is not part of any other relevant references).

On a personal note: I've played GURPS since the 90s and always used the GCA, which seems to be defunct now. So I was very happy to find the GCS project after a hiatus. Thank you for the great work. I might try to help fill the Master Library out (maybe with more Transhuman Space stuff) if a get some free time.

Cheers,
Nils.
