Dungeon Dining: Exotic Eats and Remarkable Rations for Fantasy Travelers

Building off a one-note wisecrack in a past forum post, I've written up a whole one-note article on fantasy rations for DF/DFRPG adventurers. If you're bored of the same ol' regular, dwarven, and elven fare, try these power lunches instead:

Cat-folk rations: For better Night Vision - and a silkier coat. Me-ow like it!
Halfling rations: Okay, this is just lots of regular rations. But a full stomach helps hungry hungry hobbits stay focused on the job.
Gnome rations: The bulk of the article, with over a dozen mix-and-match effects that those clever inventors can bake into your trail loaf. How about energy-boosting food with a rat-repelling smell? Maybe even in liquid (think grenade!) or paste (doubles as face paint!) form?
Orc rations: Dirt cheap or even free (roadkill?). But you may need an orc's poison and disease resistance to survive it.

All those, with per-meal, daily, weekly, and monthly prices and weights for load-out convenience. As well as suggested bulk discounts from Samwise's Warehouse Club. Bon appetit!

Fictional character write-ups for GURPS 4e

As I muse in a comment on the 'Cats, nostalgic action cartoons is an area that remains largely untouched by GURPS' hundreds of supplements. With a bunch of cinematic rules (including free-wheeling simplifications inspired by the Action series), perhaps some fun bits from SJG's own TOON game, and a writer versed in the genre, GURPS Cartoon Action could be a fun thing...
