GURPS Martial Arts: Gladiators

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Some fight for glory. Some fight for gold. Some fight merely to live another day. These are gladiators, and their valor and martial prowess are renowned even today, nearly 16 centuries after their games were outlawed.

GURPS Martial Arts: Gladiators gives you everything you need to bring the excitement and action of Rome's most celebrated events to the gaming table:

  • Background information: a history of the games, biographies of famous gladiators, and a description of a day at the arena.
  • Rules for tournament campaigns: the crowd's reaction, the referee's decision, victory-based character advancement, and gladiator ranks and prices.
  • Five detailed templates for PCs or NPCs, plus briefer stats for several NPC-only supporting roles.
  • Eleven gladiatorial martial arts, along with variants.
  • Notes on choosing and tweaking advantages, perks, disadvantages, skills, and techniques for gladiators.
  • Weapons used by gladiators - including exotica rarely seen outside the arena.
  • Armor for gladiators, designed to make for a good fight first and to protect the wearer second.
  • Equipment loadouts for 14 gladiator types.
  • Campaign options and adventure ideas.

All this should keep your gladiators busy for years! Or you can take the games outside the traditional Roman arena, using the included options to import gladiators into other genres and settings. Whatever you're looking for, GURPS Martial Arts: Gladiators is sure to deliver. With this book, you'll proudly pick up your six-siders and say, "We who are about to die salute you!"

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
