Is that true for Thrown Weapon (Dart) (B226) as well, or is it a bug that darts aren't mentioned on B276?

[Edit: Well, actually darts are mentioned (under Spear Thrower), but not the Thrown Weapon (Dart) skill.]

Not another shrubbery

The plumbata, from Martial Arts p231, is thrown with the Dart skill. That's the only statted example I know of.

Until I get they invent a cheap portable device (iPod sized) pdf viewer, I'd stick with the books... but I drool just imagining having my entire GURPS collection in my hand... I once actually got off on the wrong bus stop with a bag ful of 3e books... my shoulder hurts just from remembering carrying that. Still, they're great for a quick reference while playing.

I've gone with a not-cheap but reasonably priced used tablet PC from ebay. $230 got me a crusty old Fujitsu from 2000 with a 5x8" screen that runs Windows XP (not any funky tablet edition, just regular old XP) and therefore will happily run Foxit Reader for lightweight PDF reading.

It ALSO runs GCA, Word, Excel, and Firefox, meaning it handles everything I could want for gaming. It's pretty cool.

The ellipsis (. . .) was there to suggest that it's true for a whole clutch of things. If you can find a skill with no corresponding weapon in the Basic Set, I can promise you that (1) David Pulver and I did it on purpose, and (2) suitable weapons will show up in Martial Arts (now published) or Low-Tech (WIP).
