Hm. I can't find what is "Gulth". It doesn't appear in any dictionary and I have no idea about what it means. Maybe something related with cavemen?

What's a Gluth? I keep thinking of the giant zombie dog from Naxxramas but I'm sure that's not what you're talking about.

From what the other forumites posted, I'd infer that he must be an iconic character from an old GURPS sourcebook. GURPS Ice Age, maybe?

Gulth is the unofficial name of the guy on the cover of the old Low Tech book. It's an acronym for Generic Universal Low Tech Human(oid).

The real page for the book, that is the page for the book no the W23 page to sell you the book. They have a bibliography there, which looks huge-ish.

Now that it is off to the printer, I am waiting for the e23 PDF release. :)

I'm confused. I don't see a single person high-kicking OR figure skating on the cover. Has the long wait been all for naught? Alas, poor CCoI, I hardly knew thee...

No worries. It all illustrates items from the history of ice skating and cabaret dancing. As I'm sure everybody knows, Classical warfare, shown in the upper left, was essentially an early form of hockey. The guy in the lower left is from the Ice Age; 'nuff said. And the ship is one of the fearsome cabaret galleys from the Age of Sail, which terrorized the Spanish Main to fund their fearsome production numbers.
