I asked a similar question last thread so forgive me for spamming but I've been digging through the splats and I am having autism choice paralysis.
Basically, it's my first time running GURPS and the concept is "urban fantasy". Instead of a warrior in plate armor swinging an enchanted mace at an ogre in a dungeon, it's a merc in tactical gear swinging his hyperkinetic baseball bat at an alien pig cop in a warehouse. Effectively the same thing, but with a coat of 2000s nostalgia.
Action and the gear books are the easy choices, but I don't know if I should pull from the actual fantasy books and reflavor everything as high tech. Can regular axes and spears stand shoulder to shoulder with TL8 guns? Is there a quick and dirty template you can apply to melee weapons to bring them up to TL8 standards? Or am I just overthinking this?
