Steve Jackson and David Pulver coauthored a novella entitled Thera Awakening that was distributed with the Interplay computer game Stonekeep. This novella describes the back story and history of the Stonekeep world and characters and was completed before the game itself was finished. 
David was the Guest of Honor at the 1992 U-Con gaming convention (held annually at the University of Michigan).

The design rules in GURPS Robots and GURPS Mecha are fully compatible with it. GURPS Reign of Steel uses the rules from GURPS Robots. He is also the author of the modern fantasy setting GURPS Technomancer
