 If you're willing to help GURP thrive even more than it already did, please consider checking out our [[https://www.patreon.com/GlenSRP|Patreon]]. Patronage starts at 1 pound, and you'll already have most of the perks, such as more turrets designs (same stats as vanilla ones, it's just cool homemade new models). If not, you can also just help us by boosting the Discord server (for Nitro users) or simply share the word about how great our community, which you are now a part of, really is.  If you're willing to help GURP thrive even more than it already did, please consider checking out our [[https://www.patreon.com/GlenSRP|Patreon]].

 +====== Roleplay Basics ======
 On GURP, you are playing a character in the world described [[::lore:currentsystem|here]]. To enjoy the experience, set yourself some goals, interact with people as you would if you were that character in that world, use the right RP channels as described in the New Player Guide. If you feel like you got it, then you can start right away on the server. On GURP, you are playing a character in the world described [[::lore:currentsystem|here]].

 Roleplay involves creating and portraying characters in fictional settings or scenarios. Participants assume the identity of their characters and interact with others in the same environment. It's a form of collaborative storytelling where the outcome often depends on the choices and actions of the characters involved. Feel free to use other Sci-Fi universes as examples, but keep it logical within the confines of Space Engineers and the GURP lore. Roleplay involves creating and portraying characters in fictional settings or scenarios.
