That's just what it is: a simple summary of ways to handle this matter in character/creature design. Short and sweet.

"Uhn... too weak... passing out..."

That's fine for battle-battered heroes, but do we want dumb monsters conked out in combat? Here's a simple way to have beseiged beasts raise bloody hell – and then properly die – like good monsters should.

BS 431 offers a nice table for putting falling distance together with velocity. But did you know you've already got a tool for generating those numbers? You guessed it: that ever-handy Size and Speed/Range Table. It'll even tell you how long it takes your PC to plummet off a cliff. Or calculate spacecraft travel statistics. And other fun stuff.

How badly does a "miss" miss? Can a miss be a simple failure to attack? Should those questions ever matter in the game, here's a simple suggestion that breaks down the miss.

A look at an unusual option for GURPS: skill and attribute costs that just go up, up, up. It looks odd, but offers a surprising number of nifty benefits. Put on your game engine-hacking cap and read on...

GLAIVE is an original set of rules for weapon design and related topics, for GURPS 3e.

Okay, here's a topic I've yabbered about enough on my site and in forums, but it still pops up often as a frequent GURPS player question. I'm going to post a one-stop overview here, which I can point to when the topic next comes up.

Why do ranged and melee TH use different rules in GURPS? What happens when a weapon is really big compared to the target? What happens when combatants are odd-sized? Does SM apply in melee? If so, how can two tiny combatants possibly strike each other? Why can't ranged weapons get a bonus for really close range? And if they can't, again, how can tiny shooters ever manage to blast each other?

All is answered: there exists a GURPS Unified Theory of Hitting Stuff (or GURPS Unified TH System; it's GUTHS either way). Read on.

Have you heard this one before? "Why can't SJG offer a simple fantasy expansion – something less than the full Fantasy or Banestorm – to bring in the newbies to GURPS, especially from D&D?" Well, leave it to the fan base to deliver. The hardworking Tail Kinker has released a second edition of Caverns and Creatures, a fantasy supplement for GURPS. Read on.

Of all the rules hacks at the GURPS Diner, this is surely the least ambitious. It's a look at a simple, single, "for the heck of it" rules change: handling defenses with regular skill rolls, instead of the oddball "skill/2" mechanic.

As always, it's yours to use, abuse, or refuse, as you choose.

The first time I saw GURPS I din't like the four attributes. In D&D you have 3 physikal an 3 mental attributes. I looks like in GURPS you have 3 pysikal and 1 mental attribute. I like symmetry, so I din't like the GURPS attributes.
I don't think so any more becaus for one is IQ a physikal attribute too (that's what you have your brain for) and on the other hand ST, DX and HT are used by ghosts too and play a role in mental task (like spells).

So you have 2 attributes, IQ and DX, used for Skills and you have ST and HT for hit points and fatigue (one way or the other). Thats symmetrical.
But Speed goes with HT+DX, breakng the symmetry.
Is there somthing to say about ST+IQ? I think demons brake pentagramms that way, but appart from that nothing commes to my mind. And why does ST has no role in Speed.
