During a session I was running, I realized that the cleric of the team had the Exorcism skill and was fighting undead, but never got a chance to actually use the Exorcism skill! I found an excellent analog was Intimidation (as covered in DF10: Taverns, p.13), except only affecting “magically-created undead creatures”. As a holy […]
I was looking at some old spreadsheets of mine about character attractiveness (in GURPS, physical appearance is simply called “Appearance“!) and realized that there were some gaps in levels. There was Attractive, which gave +1, and Handsome, which gave +2, but +4 to those attracted to them. I felt that there was too much of […]
In fantasy, subraces are the perfect way of taking one somewhat generalized species and giving it a special twist. In the case of aarakocra, subraces archetypes are built upon birds and their fantastic variety. Below are a few examples of aarakocra subraces, as well as the paperwork I used to keep score!

For the last few days I’ve been mulling over a few ideas, from steamships to walking cars, and I eventually decided on recreating something close to the T-45 Power Armor. Unlike more high-tech powered suits, type T-45 uses early steel alloys instead of more advanced composites. According to my math, it’s also surprisingly cheap–compared to other […]
Here at Reinard Motors, we know how important it is to get where you’re going, and at our military branch, we know that wherever you’re going may not be on the road. So we’d like to present the Reinard Motors Parkour-Class Scout Car, a feat of 21st century, somewhat German engineering. Its 100 kW (134 horsepower) […]
