Alt-Onin: Conversion from GURPS to SWADE

 As of this post, we will officially convert the Alt-Onin campaign from GURPS to Savage Worlds (SWADE). This has advantages and disadvantages, but the biggest one is speed and simplicity. Core to this process is the following document:

Savage Samurai

Read it before you attempt a conversion, and DM me if you have any questions. To convert your Alt-Onin PC, build them as a Veteran, with 8 advances. These are tough, powerful characters. Each of you should take the 0-pt class feature "Buke", though Santo no Kai can take "Heimin" if that fits better. That's free, and doesn't count against your advances.

Each of you -ALSO- has a free Edge chosen to best reflect your character. This will make it cheaper to buy higher levels of certain advantages. Again, this is free and doesn't come from your allotment of advances. 

  • Kazumi - "Steady Hands," reflecting your cavalry training, ignoring the -2 penalty to Fighting or Shooting on horseback.
  • Kingoro - "Marksman", reflecting your archery prowess.
  • Kokatsu - "Streetwise," reflecting that you know your way around more than most. 
  • Santo no Kai - "Free Runner", as you are nimblety-pimblety even more than a punch murder specialist. 
  • Tatsuzo - "Menacing," as your character probably is the most intimidating in the group. 
  • Yukichi - "Brawny" because you are so large and in charge. 

Equipment is whatever you have on your GURPS sheet. That won't change.
