GULLIVER supplement for the GURPS roleplaying game
General information about GULLIVER for GURPS 3e (a huge supplement for all aspects of creature design and physical performance) and GULLIVER Mini for GURPS 4e (a tiny supplement for building and gaming odd-sized creatures).
Edge Protection: Armor Enhancement for GURPS 4e
My old GURPS Diner article Gird yer Loins! contained two simple ideas for better handling body armor in GURPS: dropping the troublesome PD stat, and introducing a new Edge Protection (EP) stat.
PD has indeed departed from GURPS 4e, so the first idea's text can be retired for good.
The second idea is not any official part of GURPS, yet it (or some variant) is used by many gamers and pops up frequently in online discussions of armor. I'm moving that part of the old article into its own new article here on the Games Diner. In the future, it may get folded into a larger treatise on armor; for now, here's the simple idea on its lonesome.

"GURPS Japan has them. GURPS Swashbucklers has them. GURPS Rome has them. Why doesn't GURPS Middle Ages?"

A great look at historical fighting techniques in the lands of knights.

The GURPS Diner
The GURPS Diner began... heck, who knows any more. 1997 or so? It's an old fixture of the GURPS fan web, and has received hundreds of thousands of visits. (I lost track somewhere during my hamfisted wrangling of hit counters.) There's a ton of original GURPS material, both 3e and 4e. Read on for a full list of what's on the menu.
The New GURPS Delivers... Or Does It?
The 2005 GURPS Diner article, brought into the new Games Diner site. One gamer geek's look at the new GURPS 4e and how well it satisfied his GURPSy wishes.
