Default [MA] It's already been said a million times but-

Awesome book. Finally got it do to a very generous donation and I've finished burning most of the info down in my frontal lobe for two days straight. I know I'm late to the party, but better late than never.

Awesome work guys, just awesome. With this new knowledge, my GMs will NEVER let me play a fencer ever again! :D

...among many things.

Glad to know you like it. MA is a superb masterwork book, and very useful for all kind of campaigns involving combat.

Thanks for the compliments. I'm glad you like the book. And that was a very nice gesture by the generous folk(s) who helped you out with the funds. Thanks all around.

I've actually got people into GURPS with the martial arts rules. They are by far the best rule supplement for GURPS in terms of research and playability.

I also know people who have only bought GURPS because they needed to be able to use Martial Arts.

It is a terrific book. Just the kind of useful toolkit that works so well with GURPS.

4e Martial Arts is a critical head blow to the world of RPGs.

I hope Thaumatology will be other . . .
