Some Things Need Details

The Dungeon Dudes are using the default game rules for their setting, which means you just buy the equipment off the table included in the Player's Handbook.

For a GURPS Fantasy setting you have to pick a tech level.

I've mentioned that much of the armor depicted in D&D is actually TL4 when most people think of TL3 when they're thinking Fantasy.

The easy way out is, "A wizard did it!"

Or, rather, the Elves and Dwarves did it.

Through different methodologies, they make the TL4 armor that most players expect, and the player will pay twice as much as listed for the privilege.  Rather more, actually, since the armors that the Elves and Dwarves sell are typically decorated, and really should be fitted because of the pride of the makers.

They just don't make cheap, "mass produced" examples of their best types.

Interestingly, this should make the four times as expensive bronze plate armors cheaper than steel.
