GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 12: Ninja

Look around you, right this instant. Do you see anything threatening?

No?

Uh-oh. That means there might be a ninja in the room.

GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 12: Ninja brings these black-clad butt-kickers to your Dungeon Fantasy campaign. The ninja uses a mix of special powers, combat abilities, wits, and gadgets to accomplish his goals . . . and if his goals include "eliminate you," then you're in trouble.

This supplement includes:

• Dungeon Fantasy templates for both ninja and assassins.
• Lenses for mixing ninja abilities with other professions. Beware the ninja-barbarian or the ninja-wizard!
• A lens to add ninja prowess to your existing Dungeon Fantasy adventurer.
• Cool abilities for those with ninja training, including Shadow Walker, Shifting Visage, and One With Shadows.
• More than 10 new, exotic weapons that are especially suitable for mysterious martial artists.
• Dozens of items of equipment, ninja tools, artifacts, and magic items – gadgets and gear that allow the "impossible."

Even if you're not playing a ninja, maybe you can take their loot! With the GM's permission, many of the cool weapons, gizmos, and magic items herein would make incredible loot for those who've successfully thwarted the darkness dwellers.

Whether you're looking to join a clan or learn their shadowy secrets in the hopes of staying alive, Dungeon Fantasy 12: Ninja has the information you need. Read it, if you dare!

Pyramid #3/22: Banestorm

If you're looking for a quaint little fantasy getaway, why not consider a trip to Yrth? Be warned; you may find it hard to go home again . . .

This month's Pyramid – the PDF magazine for roleplayers – is devoted to GURPS Banestorm, the premier GURPS Fantasy campaign setting. Most of its articles can also be adapted to other fantasy settings or games with little difficulty – including GURPS Dungeon Fantasy. This issue includes:

• "Ansonne: The Black Heart of Araterre," detailing the setting's swashbuckling cesspool of sin. Written by Matt Riggsby (GURPS Hot Spots: Renaissance Florence, GURPS Locations: The Tower of Octavius, and more), this complete guide to the city – including a full-page map – provides everything you need to make Ansonne the source for an exciting adventure or the focus of an extended campaign.
• "Places to Come From: Heroic Origins on Yrth," giving insight on how to incorporate epic backgrounds into Ytarrian campaigns. Written by Phil Masters (GURPS author extraordinaire, including co-author of GURPS Banestorm), this article offers two example campaign locales that can provide excellent background elements or mysteries for heroes.
• "Whatever Happened To . . .?," describing famous individuals from our world who might arrive on Yrth – and what they might try to accomplish once they're here. Each person includes ideas for how they would adapt and why heroes might interact with them (or their legacies).
• "Arvey: The City of Silver Hills," is another place for Ytarrian adventure. In addition to providing its history, areas of interest, and notes on its movers and shakers, this article also contains full GURPS character stats for three of its citizens – although whether they're friends or foes depends on the adventurers' goals . . .
• "The Crystal Wilds," a description of a natural cave formation that could be the focal point for an archaeological adventure or ongoing campaign developments. Is it realistic or fantastic? Yes!

In addition, this Pyramid offers its usual fantastic features: Murphy's Rules with Greg Hyland; Steven Marsh's Random Thought Table; and other odds and ends – which this month includes a player's version of the map from GURPS Banestorm: Abydos.

You don't need to be a magic man to know which way the wind blows . . . unless you're trying to fathom the mysterious cross-dimensional Banestorms, of course.

GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 11: Power-Ups

Dungeon Fantasy 1: Adventurers gave you powerful delvers who could cut a swath through the world and take its stuff. Dungeon Fantasy 3: The Next Level added racial templates, rules for mixing professions, and all-new power-ups, making your adventurers even more awesome. Now Dungeon Fantasy 11: Power-Ups raises the stakes again, bringing more – and more-powerful – power-ups to the table that will really boost your heroes' kill counts and bank accounts!

Inside you'll find power-ups for every profession and race in Dungeon Fantasy 1-10 – and for every budget. At one end are more than 50 perks to modify your spells and combat moves; at the other are more than 80 significant new abilities, priced at up to 100 points. Many options – like the bard's Songs, elementalist's Storms, and necromancer's Foul Limbs – offer several subtypes and specialties. And that's not even counting hundreds of minor abilities and suggestions, several new spells, and more. From the silliness of Combat Haberdashery through the sheer power of the Secret Teleportation Spell, a true munchkin is sure to see something he likes. Fortunately for the GM, these power-ups come with guidelines for acquiring and using them . . . and for designing new ones.

While intended for Dungeon Fantasy, these power-ups are suitable for any GURPS campaign involving dungeon crawls, and are sure to provide players and GMs alike with new ideas no matter what genre they prefer!
