“How To Be A GURPS GM” Released!

More Tokens in Combat
I recently ran a couple of GURPS games at Gamex 2014, and stumbled upon a great method for pairing colored tokens and dice to speed up large combats. The encounter called for the four PCs to fight against eight NPC creatures […]
Using Lego Minifigs for RPGs
As a nice follow-up to my post a couple weeks ago about different tokens and miniatures for tabletop RPGs, I recently came across an excellent discussion at the GURPS forums about using Lego minifigs as gaming figures. I did actually have some first-hand […]

A friend of mine drew this for me in high school: The other two are pretty self-explanatory, but the “flaming haycarts”?
