Over at Huge Ruined Pile there's been a great series of posts for a Dwarf-Land campaign. If you haven't read them please do so. I've found them very inspiring and as I've been knocking-about the ideas for a wee-folk campaign I ended up typing the following notes for use sometime/maybe:

Move by size
Slight...................... 12
Stout, Short............ 9
Small, Wee, Tiny.... 6
** Pesk can fly 3 faster then their normal land speed. Can't fly in plate and fly 1/2 speed in mail.
Armor
Slight Mail...+4 .... 70 gp
Stout Mail...+5 .... 75 gp
Short Mail...+4 .... 60 gp
Small Mail... +4 .... 50 gp
Wee Mail... +4 .... 40 gp
Tiny Mail...+3 .... 30 gp
Slight Plate...+6 .... 420 gp
Stout Plate... +8 .... 450 gp
Short Plate... +7 .... 360 gp
Small Plate...+6 .... 300 gp
Wee Plate... +5 .... 240 gp
Tiny Plate... +5 .... 200 gp
One simply can't fit in a wrong-sized suit of armor.
Size S Helm...+2 .... 30 gp
Wee Helm... +1 .... 15 gp
Tiny Helm...+1 .... 5 gp
Larger helms can be worn but they are knocked off on any even hit roll and impose a -1 hit and save penalty for the wearer.
Size S Wicker Shield...+1 .... 5 gp
Wee Wicker Shield...+1 .... 3 gp
Tiny Wicker Shield...+1 .... 2 gp
Size S Wooden Shield... +2 .... 10 gp
Wee Wooden Shield... +2 .... 6 gp
Tiny Wooden Shield...+1 .... 3 gp
Size S Metal Shield... +4 .... 50 gp
Wee metal Shield.....+3 .... 25 gp
Tiny Metal Shield.... +2 .... 10 gp
(you can use a larger size shield but it imposes a -2 penalty to your attacks)
I have no idea which AC method I'd be using so I listed types as pluses for now.
Size-S is still subdivided into Slight, Stout, Short and Small but otherwise stats don't vary; A Stout helm would be too big for a Small Character for example.
Weapon Damage modifiers
I whipped up a complicated table but not sure if it's ready for prime time.
Quickie notes:
Size S weapons use normal D&Dish stats
wee -1 to damage
tiny -1 to hit, -2 damage
It's mostly just these notes for now but I see no reason not to share.
Good times. :)
