Low Tech Equipment Handout [to share]

[nik1979]

This is filler until the real Low Tech comes around. It is mostly based on the discussion on the forums. It has a simplification of the shield discussion, the bow accuracy discussion, the armors are based on Dan's articles and the horse discussions.

They are in PDF form since I use open office.

Armors, Shields, and Bows go here for Rapidshare source.

GURPS 4e Horses and Here for rapid share source

Recently Revisited Equipment as of Dec 27 2008

Recently Revisited Horse Stats as of Dec 27 2008

(both are Rapid Share sources)

Note on Horses: I didn't bother improving the ST to Wt. ratio as per suggested in the horse threads since it was a very tricky matter because I wouldn't know the ST ranges of different breeds.

If you have any changes to suggest please post it here to alert anyone who is interested in the Hand out.

Notes on the way the information is organized. Seeing such a list of equipment will typically delay game start time. Ideally this information is already organized into Outfits which can be customized or taken as is.

Organizing Outfits and Primary Horses into cards would speed up character creation. Players selecting from the cultural and combat role packages could easily narrow down their choices from their own needs.

11C Outfit Cards are still in the works.

Well, I'm really interested in reading these files, but when I follow your link and try to download, all I get is 404-file not found. Any other way I might get a hold of this?

Same here. "404 - Not Found".

Also a 404 here

Doesn't workl for me either.

First I get to a site where I have to find the actual download URL. Then once I click on that I have to type in a generated code to prove I'm not a bot. Once I do that I get something like a 404.

Ditto for the 1st Crusades document, but I got the horse file no problem.

At a quick glance, this looks like nice work. Are you planning additional handouts to cover the high medieval and late medieval periods?

The Rapidshare link works.

Oh, yeah- and thanks for the list. It's a little retro for the game I'm currently playing in (Iron Kingdoms adaptation, basically TL 4+1), but perhaps it'll be useful useful for the bandits and less advanced cities who can't make the cutting edge gear and have to make do with the old stuff. We'll see what the GM thinks.

Nice layout on the equipment, and very well-done on the horse info. I will probably steal^H^H^H^H^H use these for my next low-tech game.
