Sometimes I get an urge to make some GURPS content, be it something original, or something converted from another system/media. Maybe if I post it here, it will be useful not only to me. Keep in mind that I'm not a native English speaker and please forgive any mistakes.

Martial Arts: Racial Martial Arts Styles
Martial Arts: Racial Martial Arts Styles
Dragon Magazine #303 has a very interesting article that describes many racial martial arts styles (something akin to GURPS Martial Arts: Yrth Fighting Styles). Let's convert them to GURPS.

Martial Art: Sidewinder
Martial Art: Sidewinder
I found another monk variant in Dragon Magazine #331. Works well as a GURPS martial style.

Martial Arts: Sacred Styles
Martial Arts: Sacred Styles
Dragon Magazine #346 has six martial styles for monks who follow specific lawful deities. So, let's convert them to GURPS.

Powers: Kuji-in
Powers: Kuji-in
I was looking through some Dragon Magazine issues and found a short article called The Art of Kuji-in in issue #342. The article describes a ninja art of channeling their ki into spectacular effects via special gestures. It is said that there's 81 different jutsu, but the article describes only seven. Also, apparently this is based on a real-world practice. This is the first time I hear about this. These jutsu seem perfect as premade chi abilities in GURPS.

Spelljamming in GURPS
Spelljamming in GURPS
Spelljammer is topical. I've never had any deep knowledge of the AD&D Spelljammer setting, but I was always curious about it, because it's cool. Not that long ago, a Spelljammer supplement for 5e got released, and it was dross of unimaginable proportions. So, instead I got the AD&D Spelljammer book and gave it a read. This post covers spelljamming movement rules and helms, but not the actual vehicles.

Equipment: Fantasy Gyrocs
Equipment: Fantasy Gyrocs
GURPS Low-Tech has stats for TL3 rockets - highly inaccurate explosive weapons. The description says that the stats are for a typical rocket, implying variations in size and power. What if we were to miniaturize the rockets and launch them not from sticks (like on the picture in the book), but from a handheld matchlock launcher? Yeah, I'm going to make TL4 gyrocs.

Martial Arts: Dragon Magazine Weapon Styles
Martial Arts: Dragon Magazine Weapon Styles
"Styles" in D&D are weird. Some of them are tactical feats, some of them are martial style feats, some of them are weapon style feats, and some of them are class features. I've already covered almost all the styles derived from feats, and the only ones that are left are the four weapon styles from Dragon Magazine #332 (I only convert three because Storm of Flying Strikes doesn't really give me much to work with). Aside from that, it's probably possible to come up with styles based on certain base or prestige classes, and Pathfinder also has some feat chains that represent fighting styles.

Monsters: Monstrous Crabs
Monsters: Monstrous Crabs
And this is the last Stormwrack monster post that covers monstrous crabs. Honestly, I wish the undersea bestiary of D&D was bigger. Fortunately for me, there are also older editions that have many more aquatic monsters.

Monsters: Sea Snakes
Monsters: Sea Snakes
Stormwrack also has sea snakes. Basically identical to normal vipers, but with different mobility options and slightly more powerful poison.

Monsters: Monstrous Diving Spiders
Monsters: Monstrous Diving Spiders
This is a variant of the normal monstrous spider that can dive and capture air bubbles with its body to create dome-shaped air-filled habitats underwater.
