It's not that simple. The rule (p. 82) works as follows. If you reach exactly 0 hit points, you're only unconscious, and dying. (You lose 1 hit point per round after that until you reach −10 hit points and really die, or until someone spends a round tending to you, in which case you stop losing...

Try GURPS Dungeon Fantasy. It's a lot of templates and procedures to make GURPS easy to use with the dungeon adventuring experience.

Good! Wanna play some GURPS?

Then do four quartlings make a gallonling? Are quartling children pint-sized?

Don't be silly! The offspring of a human and a halfling would obviously be a three-quarterling.

While I can imagine those human-looking half-orcs keeping a low profile, half-ogres obviously can't do that. Where they don't blend it, they probably use intimidation instead. "I don' care if I ain't got no tie. Yer gonna let me eat here, or I'm gonna pound yer head in."

Furthermore, one hopes the breeding details do not escape the Game Master's head...

Gary, When you are preparing a town for your own refereeing (as opposed to preparing one for publication), how do you organize your notes? I've seen a number of techniques, including detailing individual buildings, detailing sections or neighborhoods of the town as if they were dungeon rooms...

If someone does something with the Cave of the Unknown in the forest, but no one is there to Know it, is it cool?

No. No one has ever done anything cool with the Cave of the Unknown. ;)

I once played in a campaign where the setting was a relabeled and slightly reworked map of Europe flipped horizontally. It was called "Greyhawk."

It's not a parody at all. It's a close translation of the current D&D rules into proper GURPS templates.

Being a pie-eyed, idealistic narcissist isn't funny in every game...!

People constantly say this, but for the record, I have never, ever seen original D&D books at a used bookstore.

Have you seen GURPS Dungeon Fantasy: Adventurers?

He has the voice of a cricket commentator, that's what it is!

Are you thinking of the original or revised rules? The revised edition filled out the page count a lot! :) Don't forget: a great deal of the text of AD&D Second Edition is explanatory fluff. Another significant part is optional rules (the entire chapter on proficiencies, by the way). If AD&D...

I think you've missed the point of the non-weapon proficiencies. They were never meant to be "very useful." They were supposed to supplement an adventurer's primary skills. Unfortunately, most people made the same assumption you have, and their importance was blown completely out of proportion...

This is another thing that AD&D Second Edition broke. In the first edition, odds are your elven fighter/magic-user would be limited to level 5/9. In the second edition, an elven fighter/mage could get to 12/15 — not much of a restriction. So originally, an elven fighter/magic-user could more or...

That's strange. You don't sound anything like Adric...
