Pyramid: Back Issues – Page 8 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 #3/52: Low-Tech II (February 2013)

Everything Old Is New Again!

When it comes to getting things done with technology and artisanal efforts, the past isn't what it used to be; it's better than ever! This month's issue is devoted to more gear and know-how of a bygone era. Our tinkerers' trove includes "Lord of the Manor," an exploration of how many households and what crops you need to sustain your Wealth. Composed by Matt Riggsby (co-author of GURPS Low-Tech Companion 3: Daily Life and Economics), it uses the GURPS Low-Tech foundation to keep your lands well-tended.

Pyramid #3/51: Tech and Toys III (January 2013)

It's the Tech of the Town!

There's one fact that science-fiction fans may have noticed: The future keeps getting more awesome! This month's issue is devoted to futuristic technology and gear. Our cutting-edge cache includes "Ultra-Tech Too," a collection of items from Kenneth Peters – the co-author of GURPS Ultra-Tech – that couldn't fit in that original volume.

This issue's treasure includes "Races as Professions," an old-school approach of the good old days, when being an elf or a dwarf was both a background and a vocation!

Pyramid #3/49: World-Hopping (November 2012)

Pick a World, Any World . . .

Pyramid is here to help, with an issue devoted to world-hopping: places to go, and how to get there. Your space-age strongbox includes "The Fast Reach," an oft-dangerous cluster of star systems that allows speedy travel between two distant regions, as detailed by Matt Riggsby (author of the otherworldly travelogue that is GURPS Locations: Hellsgate). It includes a system map and tips for how to incorporate it into many types of spacefaring settings.

Pyramid #3/44: Alternate GURPS II (June 2012)

Rules Made To Be Broken!

GURPS is designed to be the game system you want it to be, with a plethora of possibilities and options of all types. But sometimes, you want to push the system to strange new places. Sometimes you want to be radical or experimental. This issue is for you. This month's theme is Alternate GURPS II – a sequel to the wildly popular earlier installment. This month's highly optional boundary-breaking brilliance includes "The Last Gasp," an extensive overhaul of the core Fatigue Point system. Hit your wall more gracefully with systems for long-term fatigue . . . and use the new Action Point system to influence your moment-to-moment actions!
