I did a search and couldn't find an answer, so I apologize if this was answered elsewhere.
In GURPS Space, there is a formula: L=1/G^(2/3) Where L is the linear dimension (height or length) and G is the local gravity. What unit is L in? How am I to utilize this formula? With Earth-like gravity, that gives an L of 1. The base unit for length in GURPS seems to be yards, but there are definitely things on Earth longer than 1 yard. I know it probably doesn't matter in the grand scheme of the book, but I'm really curious as to the intent of the formula. I suspect it means my randomly rolled 80 yard long critter should not be so large if I wish to be true to biology and physics as we know them, but I don't know what the cap should be on a world with Earth-like gravity. |
