It always brings IT/programming colleagues up short when they learn that, with my degrees in social sciences, *I'm* the one who pivoted to *their* field.
That's where editors get their pencils, red as the fires of Hell.

West Wing LARP. Turn the whole damn lawn into a rose garden and have a bunch of people dressed as Allison Janey and Bradley Whitford doing mass walk-and-talks.
I do so enjoy the Star Trek Title Card Generator.
Did I mention this? I used some basic economic practices to come up with a rate to convert prices between GURPS and D&D. If you want to use price lists from one in the other, the numbers to convert by are here.

I keep thinking I should try this with some other ttrpg, but does anything have comparably sized equipment lists? Runequest, probably. What else?

I dug up some Rolemaster for this exercise and came to the conclusion that $1 in GURPS is worth about 1.03 cp. RM currency may be excessively complex (because Rolemaster), but at least it's decimal.
There's already a GURPS Conan, and it's quite good (major influence on HOT SPOTS: THE SILK ROAD), so...maybe Ben Bova's Star Watchman books? I enjoyed them at the time, but there's clearly not enough to base a whole game on, so good for a curse.

Not all STEM guys, ofc. But anybody who’s ever worked in, say, education, humanities, health care, etc can tell you that they’ve met their share of STEM guys who are under the impression that they could just effortlessly pivot to your field if they wanted to do so
