I might be doing something more with this world at a later date, so I thought I’d put it up again in a more accessible form.

Meargánta is a martial art that one might find in worlds where somebody can absolutely and unquestionably learn how they’re going to die. In this particular case, it comes from a Celtic-themed culture whose members routinely receive geasa which prophesy that they will be killed by a one-handed man with an axe, or something along those lines; this encourages a certain recklessness among those fighters currently not facing their ultimate bane. Meargánta perhaps encourages said fighters to be even more reckless. Meargánta is a martial art for the grimly stoic; and while it is not deliberately cruel, its fighters tend to be ‘dour.’
Traditionally, all Meargánta initiates are taught the basics of screaming, rushing their opponents, and striking them at very close range, with casual disregard for their own defense. After this is learned, students of the art will concentrate on either Polladh, which teaches even more ways to hurt people directly; or else Fáscadh, is mostly about to how to have leverage and stress points do the hurting for you. In either case (or both), defensive techniques are rarely taught. If this is the person who is going to kill you, then why prolong matters? And if this is not the person who will kill you, why bother?
There is no cinematic version of Meargánta. The entire style is a cold-bloodedly pragmatic way to take full mundane advantage of a wondrous condition. And its practitioners tend to have a personal grudge against the esoteric anyway, as befits people who more or less labor under an unshakeable curse.

Two-Fisted Talents For Adventure!
Continue reading Two-Fisted Talents for Adventure! [GURPS 4e]Field Explorer
This Talent is for the more energetic sort of archaeologist or researcher. It covers the skills used to get to and around the ruined temple, rather than why the temple existed in the first place — or why it’s ruined. If the GM wishes to add Gesture, Melee Weapon (Whip), and Traps to the Talent, raise the cost to 10 points/level.
Field Explorer: Area Knowledge, Climbing, Hiking, Jumping, Streetwise, and Survival. Reaction bonus: students, people inclined to romanticism, anyone you’re currently rescuing. 5 points/level.
Denver Slipstick [TL4+2]
Denver Slipstick [TL4+2]
Description: a precisely calibrated and etched aluminum slide rule, with a reversible slide and T-bar. The slide is actually doubly reversible; turning the slide over deosil, widdershins, and then deosil again will reveal a new set of markings that glow faintly blue and seem to be derived from alchemical symbols and other medieval occult markings. Needless to say, the Denver Slipstick registers as magical on standard scans.
Use: Aside from the usual benefits of having a slide rule, use of the Denver gives a +1 to all Thaumatology or Ritual Magic rolls (no defaults!).
Infinity Thumbnail: Mod (Quantum 3) [GURPS 4e]
Mod (Quantum 3)
This timeline has yet to be discovered by Homeline: it’s a combination of a shifted echo and the site of one of Centrum’s greatest parachronic disasters. Centrum’s been searching for Reality Mod for some time, in fact; it has a quite romantic status among Interworld operatives. The Lost Timeline! An entire Intervention mission, exiled forever from their civilization! But they’re probably all dead, of course. This all happened decades ago, after all.
But the Intervention mission team is still alive — well, except from the people who died for various reasons, of course. The survivors and their children are still there, though; and still making Reality Mod safe for Centrum. As the mission team itself defines ‘safe.’ Or, for that matter, ‘Centrum.’ There’s been some cultural drift.
Called Shot [GURPS 4e]
Called Shot [Protection and Warning]
Regular; Resisted by DX
This spell shifts all attacks to a specific Hit Location on the target. That Hit Location does not receive extra protection! Any attempt to aim at a different Hit Location will take double the usual penalty to hit, while aiming at the spell’s designated Hit Location ignores the usual penalty to hit. Attempting to hit chinks in armor is at an additional -4, before doubling the penalty.
