Pyramid: Back Issues – Page 7 of 13

The latest volume of Pyramid alternated its monthly issues between three broad themes: Fantasy/Historical, Modern, and SF/Futuristic. Each individual issue was also dedicated to a specific topic, ranging from established GURPS settings (such as Infinite Worlds and Transhuman Space) to specific genres (including cliffhangers and martial arts) to special-interest topics (such as space colonies or tools for wizards).

Pyramid #3/62: Transhuman Space II (December 2013)

The Future Is Back!

The world of tomorrow comes into focus again, as countless near-future possibilities coalesce in front of your eyes. This month's issue of Pyramid takes a look at the Transhuman Space setting. The latest installment features "Three Offices, Port Lowell," which explores a handful of the factions active in a bustling Martian town. The Transhuman Space Line Editor, Phil Masters, gives details on a few of the key people (including GURPS stats) and places likely to make the lives of residents and visitors very interesting.
