What happens when you scale GURPS from tabletop combat to empire-level wargaming?
Pat dives into his new Kriegspiel project — a structured, macro-level wargame tied to his ongoing Star Trek campaign. Players take on roles like Starfleet Task Force commanders, Klingon Regional Governors, and intelligence or diplomatic chiefs, with mechanics rooted in GURPS Realm Management and mass combat systems.
Che and Pat explore the broader value of collaborative worldbuilding through player action, contrasting the Kriegspiel approach with games like Microscope.
