Gaming Notes: Playing Giants in any Game System

Ogres. Hulking Trolls. Tree-sized Giants. Mountain-sized Jotun. If they're defined by a size bigger than us, then for this article, they're all Giants. Because whatever the specifics, they all have one thing in common: "TARG SMASH PUNY HUMAN!"

I'm liberating the Big Games notes on gaming Giants from my old GULLIVER rules for GURPS, to give them a proper new home within the Diner (with a little freshening-up too, including a pinch or two of content from other sections).

Although I've got some GURPS 4e-specific notes at the end, the general overview is useful with any game system. Yet it's all pretty brief; sorry, I haven't witten The Complete Guide to Gaming Giants. I'd love to add your notes and ideas here, if you too have played oversized PCs, NPCs, or even just "monsters".

Up the beanstalk we go, then:

GULLIVER Mini download broken and fixed

A friendly reader from sunny (?) Greece informs me that the GULLIVER Mini download was not working. I don't know how long it's been kaput – as long as a week? – and had thought that, with downloads apparently stopped at 157, the reader base was tapped.

The download should be working again. Let's see whether there are still potential readers out there!

The link: GULLIVER Mini

Weirdness

What the gurp is this ?

A forum-ish page that appears to include my actual posts from some old forum discussion, but injected with bizarre misspellings, randomly-added words, and other fly garblings.

And with my posts under the name "kimiko". Huh, you'd think I'd remember doing that.

UPDATE 2007.06.23: The linked page has changed much, and while the thread is still the same (I think), I no longer see my posts, under the name "kimiko" or otherwise. Oh well, it was bizarre while it lasted.

- REMOVED ATTACHMENT FOR MINI v0.4. PLAYTEST OVER! –  

What to include in a mini mini upgrade version?

Do include

The basic rules:

  • Get Linear Scale from SM.
  • Set base ST, DR, and weight.
  • Multiply ST and DR by Linear Scale. HP and BL take care of themselves.
  • Multiply weight by the cube of Linear Scale.

Quick notes on fractional stats

Quick notes on DX, IQ, HT

Notes on Move, Reach, sustenance, combat effects ("use relative SM in melee")

Maybe include

Notes on setting SM

What else??
