GURPS Meta-Tech

Power Up Your Gear!

GURPS lets you build any ability you can imagine – especially if you break out GURPS Powers. The abilities you create can originate from gear with the addition of a few modifiers and possibly some tricks found in GURPS Supers . . . assuming that you're ready to pay points. If you want to pay cash, then until now, your options were either to fudge things with an Unusual Background or to pore over the official equipment catalogs and hope to spot something "close enough."

GURPS Meta-Tech changes the game with a systematic toolkit for turning abilities with point costs into gear with cash costs. Create abilities as usual, pick a tech level and Size Modifier for the "meta-tech device" that contains them, choose its underlying origin (weird science, steampunk ingenuity, magical enchantment, technology indistinguishable from magic, any of 18 other ready-to-use possibilities, or a new one of your own), and add modifiers that tweak the tech separately from its abilities. You'll end up with a cost, a weight, and any additional stats the resulting equipment requires.

This system comes with all the accessories: traits especially useful for meta-tech devices but that might also have a place on character sheets, skills for designing and using meta-tech, and an appendix of worked examples. Not to mention lots of optional rules for gamers who like extra crunch with their crunch. And, of course, it's all customizable to your campaign's look, feel, assumptions about tech level, and views on item rarity.

Pyramid Volume 2 HTML Archive: The Full Collection

Discover 11 Years of The Best in Gaming!

From 1998 through 2008, Pyramid magazine was an online subscription-only website whose motto was "The Best in Gaming"! It was devoted to delivering news, reviews, articles, and columns about all aspects of the gaming industry. During its run, Pyramid won Origins Awards for Best Professional Game Magazine of 2000, Gamers Choice: Electronic Product for 2003, and Best Nonfiction Publication of 2004. On November 7, 2008, the last weekly issue was uploaded. Since then, the contents of that site have been unavailable, like memories of a bygone electronic epoch . . .

. . . until now, as we proudly present the Pyramid Volume 2 HTML Archive: The Full Collection!

For the first time ever, we are pleased to offer a fully working offline version of this HTML-era classic, as complete as we can make it. All 558 weekly issues are here, with nearly 7,000 individual items, including features and articles from Kenneth Hite, Phil Masters, Matt Riggsby, David L. Pulver, Owen K.C. Stephens, William H. Stoddard, and dozens of other amazing contributors! Comics, industry updates, editorials, convention reports, and more await you, along with other goodies like cover archives of the print volume, logs from Pyramid chats, and article ratings.

This is NOT a PDF! Like the Pyramid era in question, it's designed to be enjoyed at a computer, using a web browser of your choice. Your purchase gets you a download of the ZIP file archive: Extract it to your computer, then begin your journey via the START_HERE.html function! (We strongly recommend downloading the "Preview" sample ZIP first to make sure the experience works on your computer.)

For those looking for just a single article, issue, or year in this volume of Pyramid, we also offer individual year packs for all 11 years – from 1998 to 2008 – at an affordable price. However, we do not recommend those subsets if you have any interest in The Full Collection! Each per-year pack focuses on just the articles offered in its year; a lot of content and functionality present in the full archive doesn't appear in the full-year packs. Buying all 11 year packs will not get you everything in the complete archive!
