The Dragon Tablets: Iteration Two – Adventuring Gear

Gamemastery Item Cards - 2007 by Vincent Dutrait

We’re continuing with the posts on gear. And having posted about weapons and armor already, we’re looking at adventuring gear this time. GURPS Action 1: Heroes, GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 1: Adventurers, GURPS Monster Hunters 1: Champions, and GURPS Low-Tech all have lists of such gear. The Elder Scrolls and other fantasy works may have additional items of use to add to the list. This gear list will not include alchemy and crafting, those systems will get their own posts in a later iteration.
