Always something there...

Small updates to GULLIVER Mini and GLAIVE Mini resources for GURPS: Minor updates to this one-page resource for building odd-sized creatures (PDF) and this one-page resource for designing low-tech melee weapons (PDF).

I like GULLIVER, always wish it had made it into Pyramid to be raked over by Kromm a bit and become semi-official. I'm using it in designing the big and small races in my next campaign.

I personally have no use for GLAIVE, but it too is very nice and would make a great tool for GMs that like to whip out weird weapons.

31 Reasons and 3 Kinds of Rolls are good pages to point new DMs and Players to get them into the game. I'll keep them bookmarked...

2 New Talents was an interesting look at the Reaction and non-need for Alternative Benefit. However, as I allow my Players to make up talents (with GM oversight), lists of new Talents aren't my bag. But... you might want to keep a page of all Talents you create, that would be a decent resource for GM that are more parsimonious than I.

RPG reality check: Are falls deadly enough in GURPS?: In which we place a doctor's claim about fall mortality up against GURPS rules. Real life or our game: which is harsher when you crit fail that rooftop parkour stunt?

The only thing I'd recommend here is a quick note at the top to "Read The Comments Section" as that is as gold as the article itself, and of good use to GMs who, like you did, might be thinking "Hey, falls aren't deadly enough, but maybe T-Bone has some ideas on how to spice them up!" but then never make it to the comment section to see how to do so without simply doubling the damage...

Rules Nugget (GURPS/DFRPG): Better Aim: A tiny tweak to the Aim maneuver that just makes the workings a little tidier, nothing more.

Yoinked. Simple and effective, I have no idea why I never came up with this before, I blame the repeated head trauma I've taken over the years.

PDF resource for GURPS takes shape: Robert E. Howard’s “Hyborian Age”: A free PDF download from site contributor uE5Xg9p2, outlining the places, peoples, and dangers of the original Conan source material, with careful attention to how things map to GURPS.

Oh, very noice! Will you update when he fills in all those Lorem Ipsum paragraphs?
