GURPS Spaceships 7: Divergent and Paranormal Tech

Ether and Magic and Psi . . . Oh My!

GURPS Spaceships 7: Divergent and Paranormal Tech introduces dozens of new options for spacefaring vessels, allowing them to go where no traditional technology has gone before! Now shipwrights can add tachyon sails, digestive systems, magical power plants, armor made of wood or orichalcum, plus other strange and wonderful innovations. This supplement also provides new rules for unusual or divergent settings: zombie spaceships, pseudo-atmospheric movement, cosmic crystal spheres, and more. Finally, it includes eight ready-to-use vessels that demonstrate the weird options here, such as the ether-crossing Soul Slaver; the psionicly powered psi-jammer; and a spaceship that's the upper torso, head, and arms of a dead god! It also discusses two more "ships" that are actually space monsters -- wise captains avoid angering space whales . . .

With this information, the only limit is your imagination -- and even that's not an absolute barrier.

This is the seventh volume in the GURPS Spaceships series by David Pulver (co-author of GURPS Fourth Edition). It requires only the GURPS Basic Set and GURPS Spaceships. It expands on the tactical combat rules presented in GURPS Spaceships 3: Warships and Space Pirates, adding new options suitable for unusual space vessels.

Pyramid #3/15: Transhuman Space

This month's Pyramid -- the PDF magazine for roleplayers -- is devoted to Transhuman Space, the science-fiction setting that's getting closer every day. This month's futuristic features are:

• "Transhuman Action," a full set of guidelines for combining the fast-paced GURPS Action rules with Transhuman Space. Written by Transhuman Space Line Editor Phil Masters, this meaty article includes information on converting existing GURPS Action templates and material, five new lenses, and information on how to convert the heroes from Transhuman Space: Personnel Files 4 – Martingale Security into a full "Transhuman Action" campaign!
• "42 Fedorov Road," a near-future apartment complex that can be used as an adventure backdrop or a base of operations for near-future natives. Written by Transhuman Space architect David Pulver, this brief includes information on the building, its history (including maps), and its half-dozen residents.
• "Dark Places of Earth," a guide to five of 2100's most horrific hotspots, with adventure possibilities for each. Learn the secrets of the Torture Garden or the Proving Ground -- if you dare.
• "Inhuman Space," an essay by GURPS scribe William H. Stoddard that looks at the world of Transhuman Space through the prism of Lovecraftian darkness. Horror from beyond the void never seemed so close . . .
• "Big Media Memetics," a set of optional rules for memes and memetic campaigns. If you've got the means, motive, and money, you might be able to mold minds.

This month's installment of Pyramid also includes other goodies that make a magazine fun: an Earth-Mars Calendar insert (good through 2101), Murphy's Rules with Greg Hyland, Steven Marsh's Random Thought Table, and other odds and ends. Until the day you can plug into a slinky simulation of the Transhuman Space universe, this issue of Pyramid is the next best thing!

GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 9: Summoners

The awesome eldritch energies harnessed by those who can summon allies from thin air should never be used for deeds as frivolous dungeon-crawling expeditions -- unless there is the promise of really good loot. Dungeon Fantasy 9: Summoners details the amazing abilities of those who can bring powerful beings into the world. Anyone who seeks to tap the natural and unnatural realms in a Dungeon Fantasy game will find much to covet herein:

• Four new templates for those more than able to delve into dungeons: the demonologist, the elementalist, the necromancer, and the shaman.
• Detailed stats for spirits and servitors that can be brought forth: ghosts, guardians, undead, elementals, angels, demons, and more -- 18 in all.
• Dozens of lenses and customization notes for most of these otherworldly allies. Learn how the "Lord of the Tides" differs from a regular water elemental!
• Detailed campaign advice and adventuring ideas that help the GM fully incorporate summoners into the campaign.
• New rules that better reflect the power and peril of summoning.

These fundamental forces of the universe are waiting to be commanded by anyone willing and able to seize them. But be careful: With Dungeon Fantasy 9: Summoners, the difference between life and death could be in keeping good spirits.
