Munchkin Quest 2 – Looking for Trouble

Trouble Is Good!

Trouble means gold. Trouble means leveling up. And with Munchkin Quest 2 -- Looking for Trouble, you can find trouble with up to six players. More help against the monsters! More friends to backstab! More competition for the loot! Whoops, forget we said that last bit.

And now the dungeon has Traps. Axes and arrows, flames and falling rocks . . . Maybe you can dodge. Maybe you can push your buddy in front of you.

Explore 18 new rooms . . . the Tomb Room! The Doom Room! The Chamber of Horrors! If you survive, spend your gold at Ye Swankie Donjon Shoppe . . . or Ye Cheape Donjon Shoppe, if you're not picky. Shake off those pesky monsters in the Sun Room, and get healed at the Temple of Generic Niceness.

And new monsters! Flee the stomping power of Bigfoot! Fear the tiny terror that is the Fright Sprite! Fight the sticky menace of the Gummi Golem! Plus more weapons, scrolls, and potions to equip your character, new curses to inflict on your fellow munchkins, and a new kind of passageway that lets you grab gold between rooms.

Munchkin Quest 2 -- Looking for Trouble was designed by Steve Jackson and illustrated by John Kovalic, the troublemakers that brought you Munchkin and Munchkin Quest.

5.75" x 11.75" x 3.5" box, with nine 3.5" square heavy cardstock room tiles, over two dozen link connectors, 100 full-color cards, six monster standies, dice, rulesheet, and enough tokens, level counters, and sculpted plastic pawns for two additional players.

+6 Bag o' Munchkins

Official Munchkin Plastic Bag!

Extra bonus: free Munchkins -- now in the sex of your choice!

That's right, now we've got both Munchkins and Munchkin Babes in six colors -- the four colors found in Munchkin Quest, plus the purple and orange from Munchkin Quest 2 -- Looking for Trouble. You can get six Munchkin pawns, like those found in the initial set, or six female Munchkin pawns (planned to appear in a 2010 Munchkin Quest supplement, but ready to bash monsters for you now!).

The obvious thing to do is to keep the Munchkin pawns around for the day one is lost, or throw the Munchkin Babes into your Munchkin Quest box and use the correct pawn for whatever sex your character happens to be at that moment.

But if you're truly evil -- and your friends let you get away with it -- you'll show the world just what a munchkin you really are by using these pawns in other games.

In Munchkin

Any time you are entitled to go up a level -- or when you do something that WOULD earn you a level if you weren't already Level 9 -- you may, instead, place a munchkin pawn in front of you. In any combat, you may discard it for a 1d6 bonus. You may only have one in front of you at a time. Unless, of course, you "lose" these rules and tell the other players that you're allowed to have more. Six is a good number.

In Other Games

Because you're a munchkin, you may claim a munchkin advantage for using these pawns in ANY game. For instance:

• In any roll-and-move game, if you use the munchkin as your pawn rather than one that came with the game, then once per game you may add or subtract 1 space to the move you roll.
• In any game in which you start with money, then if you use the munchkin as your pawn, you start with 10% extra. Round up, of course.
• In chess, a munchkin pawn can move forward two spaces at any time.

If you create your own official rules for using the Munchkin pawn in other games, please share your rules with us at the Steve Jackson Games forums.

GURPS Mass Combat

There Will Be War!

Whether you’re trying to stop the Dark Lord’s invading army, lead a Ranger company against the Axis in WWII, or command your own crack mercenary regiment in a far-flung star empire, you’re likely to get into battles that are far too big to resolve with ordinary GURPS combat. GURPS Mass Combat is the answer! It presents a powerful abstract system that lets you resolve land, sea, and air battles at any tech level. Features include:

• Rules for logistics, movement, reconnaissance, and many other things that matter to a military force even when no enemy is in sight.
• Integral treatment of air superiority, amphibious assaults, airborne troops, sieges, and everything else that’s important when the enemy is in sight.
• Round-by-round resolution that puts the commander in control, letting him choose his strategies and instantly see the results of his skill and cunning.
• Equal attention to the aftermath of battle: pursuit, casualties, looting, recovering losses, and more.

Everything is fast and easy to use in play thanks to extensive examples, quick-reference tables, and ready-to-go stats for the strength, weaponry, and mobility of numerous unit types. It’s all generic, too, covering realistic, fantastic, and superscience troops at every tech level, and providing guidelines for customizing their quality, special training, and equipment. And it never loses sight of the fact that GURPS is a roleplaying game -- every hero gets a chance to shine, and the rules emphasize what the PCs do and what happens to them.

GURPS Mass Combat requires only the GURPS Basic Set, Fourth Edition.

GURPS Lair of the Fat Man

Every so often, there comes an adventure so grim and gritty, so revolutionary, and so serious that it elevates the super-spy thriller genre to new levels of sophistication.

GURPS Lair of the Fat Man is not that adventure.

This espionage tale, set in the early 1980s, pits the heroes against each other as part of a multinational team called UNISTOMP. Can these super-spies trust each other and their cohorts' nations enough to save the world, protect their countries' secrets, and learn the truth about the Fat Man? GURPS Lair of the Fat Man is an oddball romp through super-spy clichés, in the style of 1960s espionage films that don't take themselves too seriously.

This scenario includes five pages of maps of the Fat Man's lair (plus ancillary maps), full information about the Fat Man's plans, and GURPS stats for the Fat Man's henchmen. It provides lots of helpful advice for running this tale, including details about how to keep things from getting too silly, ideas for sequels or making this part of an ongoing campaign, and alternate possibilities for the Fat Man's curious secret . . . including suggestions for making it more or less realistic!

If double agents, brainwashed "zombies," and a flamethrower brassiere are your cup of tea (or glass of martini), then GURPS Lair of the Fat Man is for you!

GURPS Thaumatology: Magical Styles

Academy, fraternity, guild, order, school, society . . . fantasy has many names for wizardly cliques and factions. Sometimes, these are merely social constructs. Just as often, though, such groups represent philosophically distinct sects with unique magical methods, known as magical arts or styles.

GURPS Thaumatology: Magical Styles aims to bring this richness to your fantasy worlds. For the GM, it offers tools for giving diverse magical arts distinctive thaumatological roles in the campaign. For players, it presents detailed advice and all-new abilities for creating memorable wizards with meaningful differences in training and philosophy. Contents include:

• Detailed instructions for grouping skills, spells, and other abilities into cohesive styles.
• A college-by-college look at the basics taught to beginning wizards, complete with handy spell lists.
• Practical tools for restructuring colleges and prerequisites.
• Magic Perks – new perks for wizards only!
• Advice on extending all of these things to clerics and other non-wizardly spellcasters.
• A detailed, fully worked example: the secretive Onyx Path.

GURPS Thaumatology: Magical Styles is most useful if you have both GURPS Magic and GURPS Thaumatology, but it's a valuable aid even if you're using only the magic rules in the GURPS Basic Set. Those who would rather not use styles will still find both Magic Perks and the advice for magicians on choosing skills and spells valuable in any GURPS fantasy campaign.

Create a world that could never be! GURPS Fantasy is the complete toolkit to let you build a campaign of heroic deeds and wondrous magic. It discusses the genre in depth -- with all its subgenres and inspirations (myth, novels, movies, etc.) -- allowing you to handle any kind of fantasy.

GURPS Fantasy gives detailed, concrete advice for assembling fantasy settings -- from the basics of the landscape itself, through its inhabitants and cultures, to the details of believable histories and politics. It also examines the nature of supernatural forces, and discusses the impact of wizards, monsters, and gods. And, of course, it looks at the many ways that magic and users of magic can work in a fantasy world.

And, perhaps most important, it advises GMs and players alike on the kinds of characters appropriate to fantasy -- including ordinary folks, people with fantastic powers, and nonhumans.

Whether your model is Tolkien, Jordan, or Leiber, this book will let create a town, a country, or an entire world. The softcover reprint contains the same material, with black-and-white interiors and a lower price.

GURPS Psionic Powers

Behold the power of the mind! GURPS Psionic Powers takes the freeform options of GURPS Powers and turns them into ready-to-use packages of psychic strangeness. You can use the abilities as presented, confident that they are built from -- and entirely compatible with -- the rest of the GURPS Fourth Edition character-creation system (including GURPS Powers, which is not required to use these packages, but is recommended).

Even better, you can use the entire system in a campaign: GURPS Psionic Powers distills the complexity of hundreds of possibilities into individual powers and power groups. Why bother trying to figure out what advantages, enhancements, and limitations you need to describe psychic netrunning (part of the Ergokinesis group) or dream-stealing (just one aspect of Psychic Vampirism)? This book does all the hard work for you, and each power is described in levels, making it easy to represent stronger psychic gifts. In addition, the new rules and suggestions allow the entire system to work together to simulate many types of psychic ability.

Whether you take it for individual parts or use it as a cohesive whole, this supplement is your one-stop shop for mental mastery. With GURPS Psionic Powers, the mind is an open book!

• Maps for all three levels of the station.
• Templates for people likely to be found around the station, including urban explorers, pickpockets, cultists, and serial killers!
• More than dozen noteworthy NPCs tied to the area, who might cross heroes' paths for good or ill.
• Descriptions of the unique supernatural threats and phenomena of the station, including spirits of the subway, mural wisps, and a chthonic demon.

GURPS Classic: Religion

The Universe. Some Assembly Required.

So you want to dance with the gods. You want a priest who can call down bolts of power from the skies. You want to cure the diseased and dying, and you want hordes of fanatic followers to bow to your every command.

What you need is GURPS Religion.

GURPS Religion gives you everything you need to delve into the mysteries of creation and divine power. It opens up whole new vistas of roleplaying. Recreate gods from fantasy and myth, or create your own pantheon and answer the cosmic questions . . .

Who created the universe, and why?

Is there one deity or many?

Are the deities wise and benevolent, or are they rash and vengeful?

How do the characters get divine power?

GURPS Religion allows you to design a complete cosmos. It also helps you decide what part (if any) the gods play in characters' day-to-day lives, and how to create the social institution we know as religions.

There are also sections on designing clerical characters, and rules for the magical powers granted to the faithful.

Power, magic, birth, death, and intrigue. The world of the gods is vast and complex. You can be a pawn of the Powers That Be. Or you can make the universe bend to your will.

You have the knowledge. You have the power. Create the Universe!

• From the Bronze Age to Punk Rock, the Mayan Empire to Japan,
• From priest-kings to rocket scientists, philosophers to courtesans,
• From steppe-lords to saints, playwrights to tyrants . . .

Through brilliance or luck, charisma or courage or sheer lunacy, these are the people who stamped their very different images on history. When your players face them, in battlefield, court, or laboratory, they can change the world -- or at least, come away with quite a story.

Each character is represented by a full GURPS character sheet, biographical notes, and scenario ideas from the subtle to the bizarre -- ready to use in games, or adapt as NPCs or adventurers.

GURPS Traveller Classic: Alien Races 1

Two Major Races . . .

In contrast to the Imperium, the human-descended Zhodani have long embraced psi powers. Within their vast interstellar empire, crime is almost unknown, workers are uniformly happy in their jobs, and mental illness is as easy to cure as a paper cut, thanks to advanced powers of the mind . . . and periodic visits from the Thought Police.

The Vargr are a race of aliens descended from transplanted Terran canines. Removed from Earth hundreds of millennia ago, the Vargr have continued to develop on worlds millions of miles from their planet of origin, and now control hundreds of worlds, under almost as many separate governments.

Both are formidable rivals to the Third Imperium. Alien Races 1 for GURPS Traveller has everything you need to set a campaign in the Zhodani Consulate or Vargr Extents. It includes starship deck plans and vehicle designs, weaponry, rules and templates for creating player characters and NPCs, up-to-date history and cultural information, and much more.

Three Minor Races . . .

Also included are three significant "minor Races" from Zhodani and Vargr territory: the tyrannosaurian Drakarans, the arachnoid Clotho, and the newly discovered, enigmatic Sheol. Almost unknown in Imperial territory, these races are growing powers in the Zhodani Consulate and the Vargr Extents.

Endless Trouble!

GURPS Traveller Classic: Planetary Survey 4 – Glisten

Jewel of the Marches

The "Jewel of Deep Space," the Glisten system has no habitable world, yet it is the capital of the Glisten subsector, site of a Scout base and a major shipbuilding yard, and home of the Mining School of Glisten. Its rich asteroid belts combine an advanced technology with an almost inexhaustible supply of raw materials. Glisten is a major industrial and economic powerhouse in the Spinward Marches.

In addition, nearly every planetoid in the Glisten system has its own local culture and society. The diversity of the hundreds of worldlets makes Glisten a wonderfully rich backdrop for almost any type of adventure.

This book concentrates on the five asteroids which make up "Glisten City," the government and business center of the system. Trade, business, scientific investigations, and high-level politics rub shoulders with gritty asteroid miners, huge factory complexes, shipyards, and interstellar intrigue.

GURPS WWII Classic: All the King's Men

Winston Churchill promised the British forces would "never give up, never surrender." Now you can fight as one of His Majesty's own in GURPS WWII: All the King's Men! Watch as the storm clouds gather over Europe in the late '30s . . . and an unprepared England declares war against a Germany in its fighting prime. Experience the fear and heroism of Dunkirk, the sweltering seesaw of Africa, and the final triumphs of the Anglo-American campaigns as a battered British Empire pulls victory from the jaws of darkest defeat!

All the King's Men describes soldiers from across the British Empire, the way they were recruited, trained, and sent to war, the men who led them, and the battles they won and lost.

You'll also find a cross-section of British weapons and equipment -- from the very good to the very bad, from sidearms to the battleship King George V -- and a host of campaign and adventure ideas for GMs.

So, keep your chin up and get your lads in the thick of it -- sharpish!

Transhuman Space Classic: Under Pressure

The Other Frontier

As mankind reaches to the planets, a last frontier remains on Earth . . . the oceans. Governments, corporations, political idealists, and outlaws are staking their claims. There are oceans on other worlds, too: Europa, Mars, Titan -- all unique and full of possibilities.

Transhuman Space: Under Pressure describes the oceans of the 22nd century, from the teeming seas of Earth to the icy ocean of Europa. Ocean arcologies . . . mining operations and terrorist foes . . . adventure and intrigue in an environment far more hostile than mere space.

This book also includes new character templates -- including new parahumans, bioroids, cybershells, and uplifted animals designed for aquatic existence -- and modular design rules for aquatic vehicles, compatible with the system in Transhuman Space: In The Well.

Pyramid #3/6: Space Colony Alpha

In this issue of Pyramid, the PDF magazine for roleplayers, our theme is "Space Colony Alpha." In these 44 pages are tools, tips, and inspiration for any group of determined futurists looking to stake a claim on a distant world. Contents include:

• "Surprises from Mother Nature" --four life forms that can present unique challenges for colonists. Each has GURPS stats, but is generic enough to plug into most space-faring games.
• "When the Dark Eats You," which offers generic information on neuroses and mental afflictions likely to trouble the first off-worlders.
• "The Super Colony," with ideas for how to combine colonization themes with more-than-human abilities.
• Ready-to-print cards that allow you to make a representational map for a colony, with key features and how they relate to each other. Build it to your specifications, or "deal" out a random colony!
• Plus articles dealing with the "whys and wherefores" of getting a colony together -- why colonists travel, what means do they use to get there, how they might set up their new homes, and how the travelers' distance from the homeworld affects the campaign.

In addition, Pyramid serves up more goodies that make a magazine fun, including odds and ends, Murphy's Rules with Greg Hyland, reviews and recommendations that fit the theme, and a "Last Word," where we ask an industry luminary to pick a word or phrase related to the issue's theme. This month, Ken Burnside, creative force behind Ad Astra Games, gives the last word on the first colony.

GURPS Classic: Mars

The Red Planet. To the ancients, it was the God of War. To early astronomers, it seemed a world much like ours. To today's space explorers, it's the next step after the Moon . . . a harsh world that we might someday bring to life.

GURPS Mars describes Mars as it's been through the ages . . . as science now believes it really is . . . as it may be someday, mankind's first colony . . . and as the wild imaginations of science-fiction writers have pictured it!

Five different settings provide a Mars for every campaign, from hard science to "Attack of the Bug-Eyed Monsters."

GURPS Traveller Classic: Starports

Anchors of the Imperium

Patrol, trade, and Xboat routes are the lifelines of the Imperium, and starports are the anchors to which they are tethered. Serving as trade centers, customs offices, and outposts of civilization, starports play a central role in the lives of starfarers, and are a crucial source of goods, wealth, and information for even the most planetbound of souls. At the same time, they are havens for smugglers, fugitives, and black marketeers.

Starports classifies standard starports and describes their facilities, organization, and functions. It includes plans of typical spaceports from the Spinward Marches (including Mora, Graniff Field on Raydrad, Rech, Dhian, and Alell) and guidelines for starport adventures and encounters. There are also character templates for starport denizens, descriptions and floor plans of key locations, and deck plans for customs, liaison, emergency spacecraft, and some common starport ground vehicles.

Starports is designed to complement the Far Trader and Starships supplements, and offers a rich, detailed setting for a wide variety of adventures and campaigns in the GURPS Traveller universe.

GURPS Hot Spots: Renaissance Florence

Intrigue and politics. Artistry and adventure. Festivals and food. Welcome to the center of the world -- Florence!

Hot Spots: Renaissance Florence is your tour guide through one of the most exhilarating locations in history, the cradle of the most explosive intellectual and artistic era the world has seen. Florence! For fans of history, the name conjures dozens of adventure possibilities; those with only a dim memory from a long-ago classroom have yet to know of the city's mystique. This book is designed to cater to both groups -- scholars and neophytes alike will find themselves enlightened.

No mere travelogue, Hot Spots: Renaissance Florence has been designed for gamers first. Mostly generic (with a smattering of GURPS information), it's full of useful and interesting information -- history, notable people, places of interest, laws and politics -- that makes the city come alive for roleplayers. Each section also contains one or more adventure seeds that can turn those facts into encounters that will immerse heroes in Florence's charms and intrigues, while a detailed "Campaigns" chapter gives ideas for how to work the city into an ongoing game . . . including many unusual ways to incorporate Florence into other settings!

With Hot Spots: Renaissance Florence, history isn't just something to be read about -- it's waiting to be made.

Munchkin Level Counter for iPhone

Now all you iPhone-using munchkins can get an unfair, yet completely legal, advantage when you play Munchkin or Munchkin Quest!

The Level Counter keeps track of your level (duh). It also rolls a six-sided die (and doesn't cheat). But best of all . . . once per game, you get a Boon . . . an in-game advantage to help you kill the monsters, steal the treasure, and stab your buddy. There are almost 150 different Boons, all illustrated by John Kovalic. The higher your level when you ask for your Boon, the better it's likely to be. And when you reach the winning level, it plays a fanfare. Your friends will hate you . . .

Bonus features: counters for Chez Geek and SPANC (no Boons, though), and a very flexible interface for creating your own custom counters for other games.

And in the December 2009 update (Version 1.1), we added a Kill-O-Meter screen, so you can keep track of combats too!

This app is NOT a stand-alone game! It is a game aid for Munchkin, Munchkin Quest, and pretty much any other game where you need a counter.

It's not just a fashion statement -- it's part of the game! The official Unnatural Axe shirt gives special powers to its wearer during a game of looting, pillaging, and backstabbing.

Official Tournament Rules:

1. If you are wearing an official Unnatural Axe shirt*, you may draw one extra card from either deck when you start play and when you come back from the dead.
2. Your game character is female, even if you are not. Yes, this means that removing or changing shirts will change your sex. (It will not, however, remove the combat penalty for a "Change Sex" curse.)
3. The autograph of either Steve Jackson or John Kovalic on the shirt gives you the additional power to ignore the Kneepads of Allure once per game. With both autographs, of course, you can do it twice.
4. Wearing two Munchkin shirts at the same time does NOT give another extra card, does NOT let you have both sexes at once, and does NOT let you use more than two autographs.
5. Use of the Cheat card overrides Rule 4. (It doesn't matter which shirt is on the outside.)
6. But under no circumstances is there any bonus for MORE than two shirts.

It is NOT an official tournament rule, but if you wish to make a house rule that a "Lose Your Armor" card requires you to remove your shirt(s), we cannot stop you.

GURPS Classic: IOU

Admit it. College would have been more fun if you were allowed to blow up the instructors. And you really would have liked to major in Military Biology, Anti-Social Sciences, Double-Entendre Bookkeeping, or Computer Wizardry. Too bad you didn't know about IOU.

Illuminati University is THE best place to learn Things Man Was Not Meant To Know. With departments like Weird and Unusual Science and Engineering, Inapplicable Mathematics, Misanthropology, and Zen Surrealism . . . not to mention extracurricular activities like Democrats for Cthulhu, Moopsball, and food fights that set off nuclear alerts . . . this is college as it should have been. And gadgets? Everything from the Crockpot of the Gods to the Enigmatic Alien Device Button-Pushing Table.

Illustrated by the one and only (two and only?) Phil and Kaja Foglio, this book supports three different campaign styles . . . Silly, Weird, and Darkly Illuminated. GURPS IOU takes you from creating a character to enrolling in classes, to study, finals, and the occasional academic blood feud, all the way to graduation.

If you survive.

Transhuman Space: Personnel Files 3 – Wild Justice

Transhuman Space presents a rich and varied background that is excellent for near-now science-fiction gaming. But its rich in detail can make it difficult to know what to do with it. That's where Personnel Files come in handy.

When the assassins killed Steve Hollick and blasted his house apart, they made one mistake: They left two beings living on the site, and two more minds intact and ready to run. Now Hollick's security guard and the better-than-canine dog who was Hollick's masterpiece are out to even the score, aided by two artificial intelligences who also seem interested in justice.

The killers used military-grade hardware and bought off the local cops. What can one man from backwoods Tanganyika, one uplifted dog, and two rogue AIs do against an enemy whom they can't even name yet? They don't know, but they're going to find out.

Transhuman Space: Personnel Files 3 -- Wild Justice provides the basis for a campaign set in remote East Africa in the year 2100. It provides four fully detailed characters suitable for ready-to-run PCs, templates for new characters, or contacts in a different Transhuman Space story line. The supplement also comes with ideas for how to structure this campaign, plus a sample scenario and other adventure ideas to get the story started.

In a world of deep secrets and runaway technology, the heroes in Transhuman Space: Personnel Files 3 -- Wild Justice have a big job. It's up to them (and the players) how they pursue vengeance or justice -- and as Sir Francis Bacon said, "Revenge is a kind of wild justice . . ."

The Stars Are Right

When the stars are right, the Great Old Ones will return. If the stars aren't right, it's up to you to move them around!

In The Stars Are Right, you take the role of a cultist, summoning Lovecraftian horrors from beyond time and space.

The sky is represented by a grid of star tiles . . . and you can change them. Invoke minor creatures to flip over a tile or push a row, creating the correct patterns to summon more and more powerful ones. Eventually, you'll build a horde of Servitors who can chain flips, pushes, and swaps together, rearranging the entire sky to your whims. Change the skies, summon a Great Old One, and win!

The Stars Are Right is a card game for two to four players, ages 12 and up, with a playing time of less than one hour. The cards are hilariously illustrated by Goomi (Munchkin Cthulhu 3 -- The Unspeakable Vault).

Summon the Great Old Ones, who will shower you with power beyond your dreams. Or perhaps they'll eat you. Or both.

This is the licensed English-language edition of Die Sterne Stehen Richtig, published by Pegasus Spiele.

GURPS Psionic Powers

Behold the power of the mind! GURPS Psionic Powers takes the freeform options of GURPS Powers and turns them into ready-to-use packages of psychic strangeness. You can use the abilities as presented, confident that they are built from -- and entirely compatible with -- the rest of the GURPS Fourth Edition character-creation system (including GURPS Powers, which is not required to use these packages, but is recommended).

Even better, you can use the entire system in a campaign: GURPS Psionic Powers distills the complexity of hundreds of possibilities into individual powers and power groups. Why bother trying to figure out what advantages, enhancements, and limitations you need to describe psychic netrunning (part of the Ergokinesis group) or dream-stealing (just one aspect of Psychic Vampirism)? This book does all the work for you, and each power is described in levels, making it easy to represent stronger psychic gifts. In addition, the new rules and suggestions allow the entire system to work together to simulate many types of psychic ability.

Whether you take it for individual parts or use it as a cohesive whole, this supplement is your one-stop shop for mental mastery. With GURPS Psionic Powers, the mind is an open book!

It's a valuable companion to GURPS Space, GURPS Bio-Tech, and GURPS Infinite Worlds, and an exceptional resource for any character or campaign that needs technology from tomorrow . . . and beyond.

• Weapons - from caseless assault carbines and monomolecular swords to antimatter warheads and disassembler nano.
• Protection - How do you stop a nanomorph assassin with a field-jacketed X-ray laser rifle? Try a dreadnought battlesuit and a personal force screen . . . .
• Medicine - Superscience can heal, rebuild, and improve on nature. Death itself can become a temporary inconvenience. With cybernetics and neural interfaces, ultra-tech medical equipment and mind uploading, "medical miracles" become everyday occurrences.
• Transport - Air cars, hovertanks, tilt rotors, grav belts, supercavitating minisubs, matter-transport booths - lots of ways to get where the action is, for the adventurer on the go!
• As technology advances, the line between man and machine may become increasingly blurred. GURPS Ultra-Tech provides rules for establishing the capabilities and limitations of artificial intelligence, as well as templates for robotic or total cyborg bodies, from handy technical 'bots to shapeshifting nanomorphs.

And still more! Living biosuits, computer implants, holographic projectors, psionic amplifiers, neutrino communicators, nanofactories, hyperspectral goggles, chameleon suits, repair paste, Dyson spheres - there's something for every adventure at every tech level.

GURPS Ultra-Tech was written by David L. Pulver, co-author of the GURPS Basic Set, Fourth Edition, and author or co-author of over 60 other gaming books, and Kenneth L. Peters, the author of Transhuman Space: Spacecraft of the Solar System, and a co-author of Transhuman Space: Under Pressure.

This is the third edition of GURPS Ultra-Tech; it has been revised to the GURPS Fourth Edition rules. The oldest material included here dates back to the first edition of GURPS Space; other material was revised from the GURPS Third Edition versions of GURPS Ultra-Tech, GURPS Ultra-Tech 2, GURPS Cyberpunk , GURPS Psionics, GURPS Robots, and Transhuman Space. The softcover reprint contains the same material as the earlier print run (updated for the latest errata, of course!), with black-and-white interiors and a lower price.

From the edge of tomorrow to the star-flung future, GURPS Ultra-Tech can equip your characters and your campaign!

GURPS Action 3: Furious Fists

In Action 1: Heroes, you got stripped-down, hard-core rules for heroes who were too tough to handle!

In Action 2: Exploits, you got so much crunch for running action-movie campaigns that it blew your mind!

The excitement continues with Action 3: Furious Fists. This guide to martial-arts mayhem includes five totally new archetypes for your own personal game of death: the hulking big guy, the untouchable fast guy, the stealthy ninja, the athletic traceur, and the lethal weapon master. Some of these guys fight barehanded, but they don't come empty-handed – you get all the special martial-arts advantages, perks, and techniques they need to dominate. Rounding it out are exotic weapons, new combat options, and practical advice on bringing high-kicking, katana-slashing action to the world of fast cars and big guns.

Whether your adventurers are agents of law and order, actively oppose those agents, or just want to stay out of the way, they're sure to find something they can use. This issue contains:

Transhuman Space: Personnel Files 4 – Martingale Security

Transhuman Space presents a rich and varied background that is excellent for near-now science-fiction gaming. But it's so rich in detail that it can be difficult to know what to do with it. That's where Personnel Files come in handy.

In the world of Transhuman Space, some people still feel the need for personal security. Sometimes combat cybershells and automated systems can handle that -- but sometimes, the customer feels the need for the human touch. (Well, more or less human.) This is where Martingale Security steps in.

Transhuman Space: Personnel Files 4 -- Martingale Security presents a group of professional bodyguards. They're a small outfit -- just five people, counting OVERSIGHT, the office computer -- and new to the business, but they know their stuff. And they're in just the right place for a life of action, intrigue, and occasional mysteries and misunderstandings. This book provides game details for all five 300-point characters, along with their AI assistants and cybershell support systems, plus scenario seeds and plot ideas. In other words, it's a ready-to-run campaign!

GURPS Mass Combat

There Will Be War!

Whether you’re trying to stop the Dark Lord’s invading army, lead a Ranger company against the Axis in WWII, or command your own crack mercenary regiment in a far-flung star empire, you’re likely to get into battles that are far too big to resolve with ordinary GURPS combat. GURPS Mass Combat is the answer! It presents a powerful abstract system that lets you resolve land, sea, and air battles at any tech level. Features include:

• Rules for logistics, movement, reconnaissance, and many other things that matter to a military force even when no enemy is in sight.
• Integral treatment of air superiority, amphibious assaults, airborne troops, sieges, and everything else that’s important when the enemy is in sight.
• Round-by-round resolution that puts the commander in control, letting him choose his strategies and instantly see the results of his skill and cunning.
• Equal attention to the aftermath of battle: pursuit, casualties, looting, recovering losses, and more.

Everything is fast and easy to use in play thanks to extensive examples, quick-reference tables, and ready-to-go stats for the strength, weaponry, and mobility of numerous unit types. It’s all generic, too, covering realistic, fantastic, and superscience troops at every tech level, and providing guidelines for customizing their quality, special training, and equipment. And it never loses sight of the fact that GURPS is a roleplaying game -- every hero gets a chance to shine, and the rules emphasize what the PCs do and what happens to them.

GURPS Mass Combat requires only the GURPS Basic Set, Fourth Edition.

Welcome to a land that's as familiar as history and as fanciful as a fairy tale.

• If you are wearing an official Munchkin shirt*, you may draw one extra card from either deck when you start play or when you come back from the dead.
• Once per game, you may exchange either the level(s) or the Treasure(s) from a winning combat for a single draw from the Fairy Dust deck.
• Either Steve Jackson's or John Kovalic's autograph on the shirt lets you trade for a Fairy Dust card twice per game. With both autographs, you can do it 3 times.
• Wearing two or more Munchkin shirts does NOT give you both bonuses. The one on the outside rules.
• Use of the Cheat! card overrides Rule 4 and lets you benefit from two different shirts. (It doesn't matter which one is outside.)
• But under no circumstance is there any bonus for MORE than two shirts at once.

It is NOT an official tournament rule, but if you wish to make a house rule that a "Lose Your Armor" card requires you to remove your shirt(s), we cannot stop you.

*On your torso. Right side out.

Vorkosigan Saga Sourcebook and Roleplaying Game

From the award-winning science-fiction stories of Lois McMaster Bujold comes the Vorkosigan Saga Sourcebook and Roleplaying Game . . . set in a future universe of honor and betrayal, war and intrigue, great victories and great defeats. Miles Vorkosigan is brilliant, charismatic, the heir to a noble house on a warrior planet . . . and hopelessly crippled.

No. Not hopelessly. A Vorkosigan never gives up. And when the fragile, dwarfed, odd-looking Miles charges headlong against the universe . . . Miles may break, but he's used to breaking. And he'll pay that price, for his Emperor's honor and his own, because when Miles hits it hard enough, the universe gives way.

Now you can enter the world of Miles Vorkosigan. Play his soldiers, his agents, his comrades. Play Miles himself, if you're up to the challenge . . . and if you think you can dare as much, and talk as fast, as the "little Admiral."

Illustrated by Bob Stevlic, with character art specifically approved by Lois McMaster Bujold.

GURPS Thaumatology: Urban Magics

In fantasy tales, cities can be safe havens, goals of quests, or places to visit along the way. Indeed, magical metropolises have served as settings for entire fantasy campaigns, where the heroes can find arcane adventure by going out their own front doors. When it comes to creating fantastic cities, you don't need an eldritch tome crackling with power; you only need GURPS Thaumatology: Urban Magics.

Building on ideas from GURPS Fantasy and taking full advantage of the possibilities opened by GURPS Thaumatology, this volume explores the distinctive nature of urban magic -- how magical groups are organized, what magical practices a city supports, how cities make magic more effective, and how magic makes cities work better. In addition, it looks at the gods, spirits, and monsters that live in cities. All of these come complete with new GURPS rules and options. This supplement also includes:

• Almost a dozen new templates with varied magical abilities, including suggestions for making them more or less powerful.
• Five types of magic specific to cities: Tap the power of sacred architecture, urban divination, or ley lines.
• How to make a city work using the GURPS magic system. Lights, water, power, and sewage -- there's nothing magic can't handle!
• Eight thematic campaign ideas that keep the action city-centric. Patrol the gritty streets as enchanted investigators, enroll in a magical school, or scheme in mystic mansions.

Whether organizing a mages' guild, tapping a city's unique essence, bargaining with the gods, or designing a magical city-based campaign, GURPS Thaumatology: Urban Magics has what you need!

Once a Servitor of Flowers, Zadkiel -- Cherub Archangel, humanity's mother-protector and champion -- seeks to straddle the line between peace and violence, aiding all Words as best she can.

Discover the protective power of the Aura of Divinity, and how the Ofanim of Zadkiel are able to move really fast!
• full information on the organization, policies, and responsibilities the Zadkielines adhere to. Why does she greatly prefer female vessels? Why do Free Lilim enjoy special protection? These answers and other secrets are revealed . . .
• variations for Zadkiel that put a twist on the ideas presented here. Make her more or less religious, or present her in an entirely different light.
• rumors and adventure seeds to incorporate Zadkiel into a campaign. Humans always need protection.

Angst. Nookie. Roommates. Just another Friday night at Chez Goth.

This stand-alone game puts a new spin on the award-winning (and all too realistic) Chez Geek. You're still living with a bunch of roommates . . . but now you're a Goth!

Nanuk

Winter is coming. All the hunters boasted of their prowess, but you boasted the loudest. Now you have to deliver . . .

In Nanuk, each player bids for how long he can stay on the trail and how much he will bring home. Each boast must be greater than the one before, until one hunter refuses to raise the bid, saying "You're doomed!" Then the hunt begins. Will the hunt leader make good on his boast, or will the doomers be right? Every player decides secretly to help . . . or to let it fail.

Beware Nanuk, the great polar bear, who can end any hunt in failure. If you find an inuksuk, it will protect you -- once. If the hunt is successful, the hunters share the animals collected. But if the hunt fails, the doomers score instead.

Nanuk is a fast-playing, highly social game of bidding and bluffing for 5 to 8 players.

+6 Bag o' Munchkin Babes

Official Munchkin Plastic Bag!

Extra bonus: free Munchkins -- now in the sex of your choice!

That's right, now we've got both Munchkins and Munchkin Babes in six colors -- the four colors found in Munchkin Quest, plus the purple and orange from Munchkin Quest 2 -- Looking for Trouble. You can get six Munchkin pawns, like those found in the initial set, or six female Munchkin pawns (planned to appear in a 2010 Munchkin Quest supplement, but ready to bash monsters for you now!).

The obvious thing to do is to keep the Munchkin pawns around for the day one is lost, or throw the Munchkin Babes into your Munchkin Quest box and use the correct pawn for whatever sex your character happens to be at that moment.

But if you're truly evil -- and your friends let you get away with it -- you'll show the world just what a munchkin you really are by using these pawns in other games.

In Munchkin

Any time you are entitled to go up a level -- or when you do something that WOULD earn you a level if you weren't already Level 9 -- you may, instead, place a munchkin pawn in front of you. In any combat, you may discard it for a 1d6 bonus. You may only have one in front of you at a time. Unless, of course, you "lose" these rules and tell the other players that you're allowed to have more. Six is a good number.

In Other Games

Because you're a munchkin, you may claim a munchkin advantage for using these pawns in ANY game. For instance:

• In any roll-and-move game, if you use the munchkin as your pawn rather than one that came with the game, then once per game you may add or subtract 1 space to the move you roll.
• In any game in which you start with money, then if you use the munchkin as your pawn, you start with 10% extra. Round up, of course.
• In chess, a munchkin pawn can move forward two spaces at any time.

If you create your own official rules for using the Munchkin pawn in other games, please share your rules with us at the Steve Jackson Games forums.

Munchkin Kill-O-Meter

Munchkins love it when the cards start flying. The best combats are the ones where potions, monster enhancers, and other bonuses keep the effective levels bouncing up and down! But keeping count can cause your brain to explode (which is all messy). Now you'll never have to stop and recount again!

With the Munchkin Kill-O-Meter, whenever a card hits the table, you turn the dials to keep track of your new total. Fiendishly simple. You can use it with any flavor of Munchkin, including Munchkin Quest.

The Kill-O-Meter comes with two special bonus cards (one for Munchkin and one for Munchkin Quest) -- and since the dials can be read from either side, we put munchkins on one side and monsters on the other. (And would you believe that making it two-sided let us REDUCE the cost? Printers are funny!)

A digital version of the Kill-O-Meter is available in the Munchkin Level Counter app for the iPhone!

In Nomine: Game Master's Guide

When God began to create the heavens and the earth the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the Spirit of God was moving over the face of the waters. And God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness.
- Genesis 1:1-1:4

It can be daunting - as an In Nomine Game Master, you must create the world, the setting, the plots, the people . . . you not only play God, but Lucifer and all the other Superiors, Archangels, and Demon Princes alike.

The Game Master's Guide will help you do all that, as well as:

• Choose how light or dark, gray or stark your campaign is.
• Fit real-world religion into your In Nomine universe.
• Discover the extent - and limitations - of the power of Superiors, and how to handle confrontations with them.
• Pick alternate rules that strengthen or weaken humanity, celestials, and ethereals.
• Tailor your game to be as serious, satirical, or downright silly as you want it to be!

An invaluable In Nomine resource for inexperienced GMs and old hands alike, the Game Master's Guide reveals the inner workings of the universe, how you can change them, and why you might want to do so.

And the players might like to sneak a peek at it too!

GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 8: Treasure Tables

In a GURPS Dungeon Fantasy campaign, there's no such thing as "too much treasure" . . . but over 80 trillion possible treasures should last a while!

Dungeon Fantasy 8: Treasure Tables contains everything you need to deck your halls – and dungeons, towers, and arcane temples – with goodies. Ample tables (almost 50 of them!) let you generate treasures randomly – or semi-randomly, if you have something more specific in mind. Or ditch the dice and use some or all of this stuff as a huge "shopping list" for delvers who already have loot but nothing to spend it on. In the chest you'll find:

• Dungeoneering Gear: From maps and books that tell you where the treasure is, through mighty weapons and armor for defeating its guardians, to handy tools to help you get at that choice gem . . . it's all here.
• Enchantments: Quick and easy rules for giving almost any object nearly any magical effect, along with alternatives for self-powered items and some new enchantments.
• Embellishments: Natural and supernatural improvements to workmanship, materials, and appearance that can turn even a bathtub or a serving tray into treasure.
• Curses: Seasoned delvers know that items found in dark domains may exact a price. Is that sword you just found haunted? Will that shiny magic armor generate a mystical backlash? Finding out is part of the thrill!
• Strange Artifacts: Do you dare to utilize the Gears of Time, don the Arms of Ekeshti, or draw from the Cursing Deck? Many shiny finds are beyond the ken of the sagest sage or the wisest wizard.

. . . and much more. A pile of coins is nice, but this supplement lets you achieve the impossible: Ensure that your munchkins players won't want to find boring old silver and gold ever again!

Pyramid #3/14: Martial Arts

With this month's issue of Pyramid -- the PDF magazine for roleplayers -- we leap into action with the theme of "Martial Arts." This action-packed installment includes:

• "Hardcore," a modern-day GURPS Martial Arts adventure designed for a group of high-octane investigators looking to break up an illegal underground fighting club run by a two-fisted Femme Fatale. Do they infiltrate as one of the fighters, con their way in as part of the audience, or chart another course? Written by Stephen Dedman, coauthor of GURPS Martial Arts Adventures.
• "The Three Brothers Schools of Martial Arts," a description of three GURPS Martial Arts styles conceived by brothers with the means, motive, and martial method to bring mayhem to the city. Though designed for modern-day campaigns, these styles can be incorporated into almost any past or future setting that includes feuding brothers.
• "Fight While in Flight," five new GURPS Martial Arts styles that provide furious-fisted feats for those not constrained to two feet on the ground. Whether you're a super-hero flyer, a winged wonder, or the rider of a flying mount, you'll find something here that gives you an eagle-eyed edge.
• "The Groom of the Spider Princess," an epic campaign-adventure that combines wuxia with Lovecraftian horror into something awful and awesome. This tale, suitable for any system that can handle wire-flying fighters and fearsome foes, starts with a wedding and ends with a bargain. In between, there are a lot of spidery threats.

In addition, Pyramid also provides plenty of bits that make a magazine fun: a card-based system to devise off-the-cuff tournaments, Murphy's Rules with Greg Hyland, Steven Marsh's Random Thought Table, a short encounter set on unstable ground, and other odds and ends. Whether you're a sure-footed student or a martial-arts master, this issue of Pyramid is more satisfying than a last-second knockout!

GURPS Traveller Classic: Alien Races 2

The Aslan want your planet . . .

The warrior Aslan revere honor and glory; their traders and mercenaries are found throughout the Spinward Marches and the Solomani Sphere. Their wanderlust and combative nature make them well-suited to adventuring, while their habit of blatantly grabbing land when no one is looking makes them good recurring foes in a campaign.

The K'kree want to kill you . . .

The militant vegetarian K'kree are driven by their faith to rid the universe of all meat-eaters. Players may join this effort, fight against it, or simply try to make a living amidst the crusade. The K'kree are constantly clashing with the Vargr, and keep an uneasy peace along their borders with the Hivers and the various human client states in the region.

Good thing they don't get along.

The biology, homeworlds, culture, and society of the fierce Aslan and the centauroid K'kree are examined in detail. Alien Races 2 covers their historical involvement with the Imperium, from first contact to the present, and supplies racial templates, rules for playing alien characters, and examples of unique technologies and ship designs.

Two new minor races are also presented here:

• The Inyx, a race of aquatic parasites who absorb bio-electrical energy from their whale-sized hosts;
• The Devi Intelligence, comprising two forms: The Intellects, sentient fungi who resemble colonies of giant toadstools, and their predatory spores, the Shiverbats.
