Techniques by skill, A-D
The New Technique of the Week series is about inventing new fan-made techniques that aren't for combat skills, magic or psionics. The posts in this thread are meant to index all such techniques, new and previously published. Since I don't have a complete collection of Pyramid volume 3, nor all the GURPS PDFs, there may be a few missing. Please PM me, and I'll add them. The GURPS Repository has an index of published techniques by name.
Plans and objectives. All the threads with new techniques are tagged with "New Technique of the Week."
