GURPS Dark Sun Conversion

[Jürgen Hubert]

Since it is beginning to look more likely that I might actually run GURPS Dark Sun later this year, I suppose it's time I continued to work on this conversion...

First, on weapon materials and prices:

Weapons which are normally constructed without metal (clubs, bows, crossbows and so forth) cost their normal price.

Wood (GURPS Low-Tech, p. 71): 10% of listed price
Horn/Tooth (GURPS Low-Tech, p. 71): 20% of listed price
Bone (GURPS Low-Tech, p. 71): 5% of listed price
Stone (GURPS Basic Set, p. 275): 40% of listed price
Obsidian (GURPS Basic Set, p. 275): 40% of listed price
Stone (GURPS Basic Set, p. 275): 40% of listed price
Bronze(GURPS Basic Set, p. 275): 30 times listed price
Iron (GURPS Basic Set, p. 275): 40 times listed price
Steel (GURPS Basic Set, p. 275): 100 times listed price

I will probably create tables for my own private use which lists all the statistics for the various weapon variants, but I am leery of publishing here for copyright reasons.

But in the meantime, I could use some help with the various Dark Sun-specific weapons - I am sure that many if not most of them have equivalents in the various GURPS equivalents (such as GURPS Martial Arts), but unfortunately I haven't read most of these in detail. So, what are your best guesses for the equivalents of these weapons, and in which book can they be found?
