It's Good To Be the King!

The learned and powerful might not labor, but they do work. Low-Tech Companion 1: Philosophers and Kings takes a look at the "technologies" they need to do their jobs at TL0-4. With it, you can:

• Take charge by choosing your political system and learning what abilities you need to stay on top.
• Wow the masses with temples, palaces, and monuments raised using the included construction rules.
• Get the gods on your side through offerings, ceremonies, and altered states of consciousness.
• Have bards sing your praises, helped by the detailed information on Musical Instrument specialties.
• Bring enlightenment by making practical use of medical, scientific, and mathematical skills.
• Spread your teachings with the expanded guidelines for tutelage, drills, and learning.
• Chronicle your exploits, assisted by the rules for scripts, shorthands, and copying books.

Whether you're a GM designing a campaign setting or the player of one of the privileged few, Low-Tech Companion 1: Philosophers and Kings puts power in your hands.

Low-Tech Companion 1: Philosophers and Kings is a supplement to GURPS Low-Tech. The information on the world of the mind would be useful in any historical setting featuring rulers, priests, or philosophers.

• GURPS Low-Tech Companion 2: Weapons and Warriors contains martial-minded information that rulers can use to keep their kingdoms safe – or to expand their kingdoms at the expense of their neighbors.
