One of the things I rather like about GURPS is how it’s divided its skills into different tech levels. TL3 Smith is different from TL9 Smith. Is it crazy granular? Yeah, in a way, but it allows one trait to be multiple traits with minimal new rules and description and that is always a win with […]

The Hurt Locker: The Magical Mo of Shennong
The Magical Mo of Shennong Power Pool: 30 FP Origins: Cosmic, Divine, or Magical. A mo is a food grinder that can be found in in ancient China. This particular one (and its copies) is an extremely useful mystical tool that can find a massive amount of people on very little making it useful […]

Here’s another item from my campaigns and based on Arthurian myth. It’s typically paired with the Shield of Evaloch Arondight Power Pool: 45 FP Origin: Cosmic and Mystical. “Let see who shall assay to draw me out of my sheath, but if he be more hardier than any other; and who that draweth me, wit […]

Ahhh, where to begin? This was my first solo work. I’d previously written GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 19: Incantation Magic with Antoni Ten Monrós and Dungeon Fantasy Traps with Jason “PK” Levine. Of course, one could say my numerous Pyramid articles were “solo” as well – but there is a difference of length that really makes them […]
