A RPG "self"-insert story

Prologue

CHOSE YOUR RPG GAME SYSTEM.

Um, what? Who said that? Oh, this is a WEIRD dream...

"GURPS 3rd edition, with the option to pull from 4th edition books. With editing of description text."

ACCEPTED. CHOSE BOOKS:

You didn't specify a set number. Better pull my favorites.

"Basic, Compendium I, Magic, Grimoire, Spirits, Psionics, Lensman, Magical Styles, Perks, Pyramid magazine, Shadis magazine. If we're going into World of Darkness GURPS Mage: the Ascension."

"Equipment books: High-Tech, Ultra-Tech, Ultra-Tech 2, Bio-Tech, 4e High-Tech, 4e Ultra-tech, 4e Bio-Tech."

ACCEPTED. BEGIN CHARACTER INPUT:

No listed point budget? OVERPOWER, and hope that my "overpower" isn't underpowered for the setting. If I'm up against Gharlane of Eddore, I'm screwed anyway.

"I'm going to use the character sheet labeled 'Troy Guffey - Dimension Hopper - Ultimate version' with the background that I used in 'Ship of the Line: Your Chance' " (demung)[ Story-29357-13/ ]

That sheet had multiple power sources. GURPS Standard Magic, Psionics(the cheaper 3e version)(mine were mostly low-level(1-3), but Telepathy had a cis-lunar range mod, inspired by Lensman)(Mind-Shield as a 4e 'absolute/wild' advantage at level 10), Spirit magic (reminder to self: ADD Path of Gadgets!), and TL13 Ultra-Tech.

With a Lensman-style budget, at least 2000CP... :-D :- :-P

The sheet was also a mess, with hand-written stuff all over, and stuff left undone, unpriced advantages.

ACCEPTED. ALLY ADVANTAGE NOT ALLOWED. SHIP MASTER ADVANTAGE NOTED: Ship build sheet?:

Wow, it accepted that overload of stuff?

"Hephaestus Forge TL13 nano-factory star-ship. Add Burroughs continua drive."

Hopefully, specifying my story chapters in that story would add a full colonization load.

ACCEPTED. CHARACTER EDITS? FIVE MINUTE COUNTDOWN BEGINNING

5 minutes? Crap! The sheet was originally only TL8!

Duplicate all tech skills from TL8 to also TL13. Make sure my Magery specifies that it draws power from the Fires of Creation, not local mana. Remembered to add Path of Gadgets. Added Magic! skill... Add "Adventurer Society" Magical Style (with accompanying Style Perks). Nuts, add some non-magical Perks! Ambidextrous? No, already on the sheet.

Good thing I can pull up the books to check. Neural Interfaces are as handy as advertised!

Equipment list:
Leave all the TL8 crap in, but add my TL13 stuff.
4e Nano-suit 'armor', 3e TL13 omni-blaster, enchanted cournucopia of C power cells, Backpack nano-fac, grav slug-thrower rifle, variable light laser pistol, implanted micro nano-fac, and micro-swarm hive. Long-range radio comm. Virtual Interface Implant with my Yui loaded in her ALO pixie form as an LAI. My internal eLibrary loaded with "every book I own, or have enjoyed, plus 'classics'", full copies of Wikipedia, , Twisting the Hellmouth, Spacebattles, Youtube. Oops, full grimoire of "All Spells published"

Try adding VERY Non-standard meta-game advantage: "Can make 'GM decisions' ".

ALLOWED, WITH RESTRICTION.

ONE MINUTE.

Crap, what the hell else am I forgetting?! Um, internal add full copies of every computer game site, including databases and walkthroughs...
Specify copies of the other "Dodekatheon" templates included in the Forge's database. OH! 'Current archive of Internet'. The Forge already had listed a database of all published material, and all "mass-produced" items for my TL8. (Or maybe it would be Buffy's TL8?)

TEN SECOND WARNING.

NEUN

Did that just switch languages on me?

HUIT

Panicking...

CINCO

WTF, isn't that FIVE? What happened to the numbers in-between?!

ICHI

That's ONE!
BAKA!

And the world came up around me...
