Munchkin #1

Based on the immensely popular card game, Munchkin comes to comics! Munchkin takes place in a very flexible mashup of genres. Originally a satire of fantasy roleplaying, it has since then taken on non-fantasy and non-gaming elements, and the new comic series is a direct reflection of that. Munchkin #1 features four stories set in and around the world of the game, featuring Spyke, Flower, and all the other characters, monsters, and settings players have come to love. Every first-printing copy contains an exclusive card for the game.

The first printing of this issue includes the Spyke Leads the Chargepromo card.

Pyramid #3/75: Hero's Jackpot

Reward Yourself!

Sure, you can say that being a hero means trying to do the right thing in bad situations. But the truth is, sometimes you're doing it for the loot. This month's Pyramid -- the PDF magazine for roleplayers -- looks at rewards, gifts, and stuff that heroes can use . . . whether they're in the past, present, or future! This vault of awesomeness includes:

• "Just Rewards," a mini-supplement that suggests new and different bonus abilities for GURPS Dungeon Fantasy adventurers, from that series' mastermind Sean Punch. Gain the power of mingled trollblood, become a saint of the city, or have a psychic awakening!
• "A Familiar Path," ideas for bringing preternatural companions to your side with GURPS Thaumatology: Ritual Path Magic. Frequent Pyramid contributor Christopher R. Rice shows how you can summon, create, and control your own bonded friend.
• "Rewarding Colonial Omsford," this month's Eidetic Memory offering from GURPS Ultra-Tech author David L. Pulver. Discover what sort of benefits David gave to one hero over the course of an epic space-opera campaign -- plus get insight into what worked and what didn't. This feature includes a new GURPS Spaceships vessel, new weapons, and other awards waiting to appear in your world.
• "Stealing Magic," an assortment of systemless magical items suitable for any nimble-fingered hero. Find out what you can do with the Fluid of Free Passage, the Twin Potions of Returning, the Coward's Cloak, and more!
• "Drinkable, Wearable, Impossible Points," an exercise in how to translate GURPS Power-Ups 5: Impulse Buys into the realm of physical items. Do you dare to don a Star Tattoo you acquired from a dead body, or a Fortune Ring that pushes you toward Chaos?

This issue also offers a Random Thought Table that takes its inimitable look at the whats and wherefores of heroic compensation. Whether you're a GM seeking fresh rewards, or player looking for what you didn't know you couldn't live without, this issue of Pyramid is a treasure trove of unseen amazement!

Transhuman Space: Bioroid Bazaar

Embrace Genetic Diversity!

In the year 2100, humanity is remaking itself using mature biotechnology -- and creating new kinds of living things. Transhuman Space gamers have the option to play genetically edited human upgrades, enhanced or specialized parahumans, or completely synthetic bioroids. Even if they don't decide to tamper with genetics, they'll encounter plenty of modified beings walking down the street or flying spaceships.

Transhuman Space: Bioroid Bazaar completes the job started in Transhuman Space: Changing Times of updating relevant game templates from earlier Transhuman Space supplements to GURPS Fourth Edition, this time covering the setting's genetic marvels and half-human monstrosities. It also gathers a couple of Fourth Edition templates from other supplements, and features a few new designs, including the disturbing Leonardo and Bīngmǎyǒng bioroids and the tragic J7-S53 "upgrade." In all, Bioroid Bazaar delivers:

• GURPS templates for over 20 human upgrades and parahumans.
• Over a dozen bioroid templates.
• Templates for six uplifted animals.
• Game insight into advantages and disadvantages, quirks and perks, features, and meta-traits of interest to biotechnological enthusiasts!

From the ocean depths to the Arctic wastes, and outward from there to the "Flying Dome" of Luna City and comet herder ships in the Outer System, biotechnology is changing what it means to be human -- or more (or less) than human. Come, see what's on the market in the Bioroid Bazaar!

What makes this edition "deluxe"? It's got a big gameboard to keep your cards in place, and six pawns with plastic stands that you move on the gameboard as you level up! Plus a card to go with each pawn, to make it easy to remember who is what color and whose sex has changed!

Go down in the dungeon. Kill everything you meet. Backstab your friends and steal their stuff. Grab the treasure and run.

Admit it. You love it.

Munchkin is the mega-hit card game about dungeon adventure . . . with none of that stupid roleplaying stuff. You and your friends compete to kill monsters and grab magic items. And what magic items! Don the Horny Helmet and the Boots of Butt-Kicking. Wield the Staff of Napalm . . . or maybe the Chainsaw of Bloody Dismemberment. Start by slaughtering the Potted Plant and the Drooling Slime, and work your way up to the Plutonium Dragon . . .

And it's illustrated (in full color!) by John Kovalic!

Fast-playing and silly, Munchkin can reduce any roleplaying group to hysteria. And, while they're laughing, you can steal their stuff.

GURPS Powers: Enhanced Senses

It's a Sensation!

Special abilities come in many flavors. But if you don't notice the enemy sneaking up on you, you can't attack or protect yourself. If you don't notice tiny clues, you can't solve mysteries. Improved senses can solve your problems -- or save your life!

GURPS Powers: Enhanced Senses is your guide to sensory powers. Use it in a wide range of campaigns, from biologically realistic science fiction to four-color supers. Five power frameworks let you play a brilliant detective or enlightened sage; an animal or cyborg; or a full-fledged superhuman. Choose from over 70 abilities, many with two or more variants, to design exactly the super-senses your adventurer needs. Infrasonic hearing, inner awareness, super-balance, and more could be yours!

And you'll find more than powers in these pages. Enhanced Senses brings together game mechanics from many previous supplements, clarifies them, and extends them. You'll learn how to apply existing modifiers more broadly, and you'll discover newly defined modifiers and new variants of familiar advantages. You'll also gain more details on existing Sense rolls. Want to know how much light a candle or a crescent moon gives you, how hard it is to read an eye chart, how much hearing damage is caused by a rock concert, or how fast you can read Braille? The rules are here.

Based on recent human and animal research -- from bat sonar to mole noses -- Enhanced Senses shows you how to describe realistic sensory powers, or set realism aside for the amazing abilities of comic-book heroes. Taking your GURPS game to new levels of insight has never made more sense!

Car Wars Classic (Reprint)

Drive Offensively!

He triggered the rear guns once more. A direct hit! The blue car skidded as the driver lost control – then flipped and caught fire.

That would teach him not to tailgate . . .

Drive the freeways of the future -- where the right of way goes to the biggest guns. Players choose their vehicles -- complete with weapons, armor, power plants, suspension, and even body style. Then they take them out on the road . . . to come home as "aces," or to crash and burn. If a driver survives, his abilities improve, and he can earn money to buy bigger and better cars. Advanced rules let players design their own customized cars, trucks, and cycles.

Playing time 30 minutes and up, for players 10 and older. Any number can play . . . games with 2 to 8 are best.

Pyramid #3/77: Combat

These Are Fighting Words!

One of the joys of RPGs is the ability to solve a whole range of problems with good old-fashioned battle. This month's Pyramid -- the PDF magazine for roleplayers -- looks at matters great and small, past and present in relation to GURPS combat. This action-packed issue includes:

• "Combat Writ Large," a detailed compilation and expansion of all things size-related, from GURPS guru Sean Punch. Finally, the rules you need to battle giants, dodge deadly face-eating aliens, or grapple gremlins are in one place!
• "Low-Tech Armor Loadouts for the New World," a peek behind the curtain at GURPS Loadouts: Low-Tech Armor from that supplement's author Dan Howard, plus new historical armor loadouts covering Spanish conquistadors, Shoshone warriors, Aztec war leaders, and more.
• "Ancient Egyptian and Roman Armies," this month's Eidetic Memory offering from author David L. Pulver, adding to his GURPS Mass Combat with two detailed real-world forces of interest to historical or time-traveling heroes: armies of the Egyptian New Kingdom and early Imperial Rome.
• "On Target," an optional mini-supplement from Douglas H. Cole (GURPS Martial Arts: Technical Grappling) that adds choices, strategies, and new rules to the venerable Aim maneuver. Take advantage of an All-Out Aim, use a Quick Aim technique, or roll on the Aiming Critical Success Table!
• "It's a Threat!" -- a guide to determining how deadly GURPS Dungeon Fantasy monsters are (with all Dungeon Fantasy critters up through Pyramid #3/76: Dungeon Fantasy IV). See each creature's Offensive Rating, Protective Rating, and Combat Effectiveness Rating, or calculate ratings for your own monsters. Never deliver too small a threat or too great a danger to those meddling heroes . . . unless you want to!

GURPS Boardroom and Curia

Strength In Numbers

From street gangs to armies, through political and religious groups, to businesses all the way up to multinational corporations, organizations feature prominently in many adventures. They can be tough to get a handle on, though. Juggling lots of people and resources can leave you feeling like "GM" stands for "General Manager," not "Game Master"!

GURPS Boardroom and Curia comes to the rescue with a simple-but-effective framework for defining organizations for use in adventures. Its stats block offers a way to write up a group in much the same way you would a city (compare GURPS City Stats), an army (see GURPS Mass Combat), or a spaceship (as in GURPS Spaceships). At a glance, you'll know just how powerful they are and how quickly they can respond, and have a concrete idea of what that means in terms of skill levels, point values, or dollars.

Boardroom and Curia also includes a full chapter on how to use these stats when the PCs work for or against an organization -- or decide to found one! Rounding it out are seven detailed examples suited to a variety of tech levels and genres: three real-world groups (the Medici bank, the Provisional IRA, and Médecins Sans Frontières), two that support existing GURPS settings (Biotech Euphrates for Transhuman Space and the Raiders of the Black Void for GURPS Cabal), the sinister Cold War conspiracy of Dr. Zynfami, and a superhero alliance (the Mid-City Defenders).

Stop being confused. Start getting organized!

It's the sickest, silliest Munchkin yet! You are zombies, kicking down doors and eating brains. The "monsters" you're attacking are people, some helpless and some hazardous, with a few rogue zombies thrown in. The armor is whatever you've blundered across during your lurching search for brains. So bravely you'll go forth, with mousetraps on your feet and a bowling trophy protecting your poor rotting head . . . to level up, or to die.

Munchkin Polo Shirt (Reprint)

Sometimes, even a munchkin gets caught in a situation just a little too formal for a T-shirt. For those dressy occasions, we recommend the Munchkin Polo Shirt!

Official Rules

1. 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.

2. You may treat your Munchkin Polo Shirt as a Steed, granting you a +2 combat bonus. (If you do not have the Steed rules, treat the Polo Shirt as a Big item that does not fill the Big item "slot.")

3. The autograph of Steve Jackson, Andrew Hackard, or John Kovalic on the shirt gives you an extra +1 combat bonus per autograph, to a maximum bonus of +5.

4. Wearing two or more Munchkin shirts does NOT give you both bonuses. The one on the outside rules.

5. Use of the Cheat! card overrides Rule 4 and lets you benefit from two different shirts. (It doesn't matter which one is outside.)

6. But under no circumstance is there any bonus for MORE than two shirts at once, and players may never benefit from more than two shirts per game.

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.

Pyramid #3/78: Unleash Your Soul

Tap The Power Of The Spirit!

Heroes and villains are often made of sterner stuff than the rest of humanity. They've got fortitude. They've got style. Most of all, they've got spirit! This month's Pyramid -- the PDF magazine for roleplayers -- looks at the power of the spirit, and how it can be used for good or nefarious purposes. Our soulful selections include:

• "Blessed Be," an extensive deconstruction of the Blessed advantage from GURPS guru Sean Punch, with lots of ways to refine its scope and abilities. Now you can become Angel-Blooded, a Wilderness Guardian, or a Speaker for the Gods . . . or countless other options you can build and use yourself!
• "Clerics of Order and Chaos," which adds factions of Order and Chaos to the eternal crypt-crawling struggle of GURPS Dungeon Fantasy. Invite to your party an unholy warrior of order, a chaos druid, and much more!
• "The Voice of the Moon," this month's Eidetic Memory offering from GURPS Spaceships author David L. Pulver. Learn the secrets of a 17th-century cult, the details of its modern reconstruction, and the powers of the Moorstone (with GURPS effects). Defeat these guys, or become members (or former members) . . . and, no matter what, keep reaching for the moon!
• "Cursed Thou Art," Christopher R. Rice's in-depth look at the Divine Curse disadvantage, and how it can be reused or reformed in new and terrifying configurations. Become a Marked One, endure Cassandra's Dilemma, or speak with the Rhymer's Tongue . . . or apply these rules to unleash curses on others!
• "Secrets of the Universe!" is a religious organization that promises to unlock your inner potential. Is it too good to be true, or the dawn of a new era? The choices are yours, with a small add-on from Pyramid editor Steven Marsh that offers to include the abilities of GURPS Psis in many different settings.

This issue also unleashes a Random Thought Table that looks at maintaining and controlling the unbelievable, plus Odds and Ends featuring a Murphy's Rule that's too cruel to be kind. Regardless of how you harness the power or peril of the spirit, this Pyramid will give you a faith lift!

GURPS Zombies: Day One

Where Did All These Zombies Come From?

Zombie geeks love to argue about runners vs. shamblers, and whether zombies are defined by mindless behavior or strictly by flesh-eating, infectiousness, and undeath. The topic is nuanced enough that you could tell a new zombie story each day. The catch is that gamers expect a campaign to last a bit longer than that. Which is where GURPS Zombies: Day One comes in.

Day One sketches out eight zombie scenarios in broad strokes, looking at genre, backdrop, theme, scope, and power level -- and of course zombie type. In each case, it recommends what parts of GURPS Zombies are worth keeping and what's best discarded for a coherent story. The result is an octet of densely packed campaign seeds:

• Empire of the Necromancer-King offers a fantasy realm overrun by cursed zombies. It certainly feels like an apocalypse, but the heroes must battle the hordes using swords and spells, not chainsaws and shotguns.
• Fields of Fear conceals dark doings in a town in the Antebellum South. You don't need a global onslaught of infectious ghouls to be very afraid. In fact, it isn't the zombies you need to worry about . . .
• Savage Streets rips a page from today's news to bring you a city held hostage by drug-crazed, face-eating maniacs. Go ahead -- tell them they're not real zombies!
• Zeta Force assumes that almost every kind of zombie exists and then casts the PCs in the role of "Men in Black" tasked with keeping the world safe without revealing the truth.
• Ultimate Zombie-Fighters jumps right into a video-game-style apocalypse in progress. Wrap your fists, grab your katana, load your shotgun, and get ready to rack up a body count!
• Alpha and Omega puts the heroes in the zombies' place . . . sort of. Would you want super-powers if the price were to become a hideous, hunted outcast living in humanity's dying days?
• Time of the Zombies starts where most zombie stories end: after society's destruction. Scrounge around in the ruins and rebuild, but be careful -- worse things than zombies lurk out there.
• Depravity Well crashes brave space voyagers on a world that unleashed the wrong nanotech. Can a handful of brave women and men hold out against a whole planet of immortal flesh-eaters?

No matter what kinds of zombies you prefer or how mighty you like your heroes to be, there's something here for everyone!

Pyramid #3/79: Space Atlas

Getting Out of Your System!

If you've got a spaceship, you likely want to leave our solar system and travel to new worlds. This month's Pyramid -- the PDF magazine for roleplayers -- can help by providing new planets to explore and ways to get there! This passport to the unknown includes:

• "Ostara," a colony of outcast Earth troublemakers who have turned into something else, thanks to a psionic-inducing plague. Presented by David L. Pulver (co-author of GURPS Bio-Tech), this setting features the planet's history, situation, and GURPS stats for its oft-dangerous native life.
• "The Vanishing Sun," detailing an entire solar system that somehow ensnares ships. Christopher R. Rice describes this enigma's backstory, its system features, a new GURPS template for the curious Quicksilver-Born, plus adventure and crossover ideas for bringing this challenge into your campaign.
• "The SkipTime Hub of the OceanWe," a new systemless alien culture that's willing to bestow slivers of their precognitive abilities for a bit of culture.
• "Halfway to Anywhere," an in-depth look at calculating the delta-V required to traverse between worlds. Use its formulas (or the included spreadsheet) to maneuver from planet to planet in the best hard-science tradition. Rely on Hohmann transfers, gravity slingshots, and other maneuvers or techniques to make the most efficient use of your limited resources. And its calculations are all fully compatible with GURPS Space and the GURPS Spaceships series!
• "Homeward Unbound," an intriguing new way for a person to travel across the galaxy almost instantaneously . . . even if the trip back is more challenging.

GURPS Monster Hunters 5: Applied Xenology

Not All Threats Are Born From Nightmares

Until now, GURPS Monster Hunters has focused on the paranormal: Champions, often empowered by magical and mystical abilities, face supernatural monsters from myth and legend. GURPS Monster Hunters 5: Applied Xenology is here to prove that horror meshes with science, too!

Applied Xenology offers choices for your Monster Hunters campaign. Are the heroes masters of tech, the supernatural, or both? If magic exists, does it rely on willpower and Hermetic knowledge, or on properly programmed computers? Do the monsters the hunters face hail from our world, the third level of Hell, another planet, or all of the above? Applied Xenology will help you find answers:

• "Scientific" character revisions. Every supernatural-themed template from GURPS Monster Hunters 1: Champions and GURPS Monster Hunters 4: Sidekicks is discussed in depth and (where possible) revised to fit a focus on the scientific rather than the paranormal. What happens to the sage if magic doesn't exist? Does Mysticism have a place in a world without demons and undead? How do warriors stay relevant in the face of TL9+ weaponry? Find answers to these and many other questions.
• Technomagic. This revamp adds a "sheen of science" to Ritual Path magic -- but it's more than just a reskin! Technomages need computer hardware and software to operate at full power, creating spells as programmed "scripts" they can run immediately, save, or even email to a friend. And it all works whether you're using Champions or the detailed system in GURPS Thaumatology: Ritual Path Magic.
• Aliens. Terrifying extraterrestrial threats have always had a special place in modern horror, and now your hunters can protect the Earth from them. From classic conspiracy fodder such as Greys, Nordics, and Reptoids to straight-up monsters like Devourers and Insectoids, there's an alien race to fit any plot the GM cooks up (and suggested "close encounters" to provide inspiration).
• And more! Face invisible danger in the form of insidious plagues. Convert supernatural monsters to a more "scientific" form. Play aliens as inhuman PCs. And load up on -- or invent -- new gear.

Applied Xenology provides more options -- for your champions, settings, and bad guys -- so that you can run the game you want. We've given you the tools . . . now go save the world!

Pyramid #3/80: Fantasy Threats

You Can't Spell Wondrous or Hazardous Without Us!

Danger comes in all different kinds in medieval magical worlds. Fortunately, there are heroes to deal with this plethora of perilous problems. This month's Pyramid -- the PDF magazine for roleplayers -- looks at fantasy threats, from crypt-crawling creatures to personal problems to kingdom-claiming connivers. Its phenomenal features include:

• "The Gryndel Menace," terrifying creatures that may have inspired the legends of dragons -- before maturing into something much worse! Discover GURPS stats for the monster in its various life stages, information on the deadly infection it inflicts, details on other strains of the terror, insight into how to use it in various GURPS campaigns, and other awesome info.
• "Gog and Magog," a tale of the war between two goblin tribes who live in the same cave system (along with a monstrous threat that would eagerly devour them all). This adventure framework is ideal for GURPS Dungeon Fantasy heroes who want an adventure that needs more finesse than fighting, and comes with stats for the various agents involved . . . including the fearsome One Who Eats.
• "The Knights of the Iron Table," this month's Eidetic Memory offering from GURPS Mass Combat author David L. Pulver. It takes a familiar legend of a ruler who unites his people with a magical weapon, then gives it a sinister spin. The tyrannical Baron Vordag can be the focus of an adventure or a much more significant foe, with dangers to endure and secrets to unlock. It includes GURPS stats for key people, plus Mass Combat intel for those unlucky enough to face the baron on the field of battle.
• "On the Bounty Board," a look at what happens when the heroes find themselves wanted by the law! Gain insight into how the protagonists might get in this situation -- and how could they could escape their predicament (including advice on how to use GURPS Social Engineering to further this subplot).
• "More Psionic Threats," an assortment of new monsters in the tradition of GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 14: Psi. Can you handle the danger of the void wyrm, astral spiders, chaos ooze, or other mind-blowing menaces? It also comes with two new monster prefixes like those found in GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Monsters 1.

This issue also provides a Random Thought Table that ramps up the danger of the unknown, plus an Odds and Ends featuring a new Murphy's Rules that's unexpectedly out of trouble. For fantasy heroes, this might be our most dangerously different issue of Pyramid ever!

GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Monsters 2: Icky Goo

Puddings and Oozes and Slimes, Oh My!

When you think of Dungeon Fantasy, three sorts of monsters come readily to mind: serious bosses, like liches and dragons; in-between threats, like trolls and dire animals; and hordes of lesser foes, like orcs and zombies. But another very old, very basic category of enemy lurks in every dungeon, and that's goo -- squidgy, nasty, quivering blobs of stuff.

GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Monsters 2: Icky Goo explores the moist, disgusting world of monsters that don't so much eat you as dissolve you. Seven classic archetypes appear, each with many unpleasant varieties:

• Fungi. Toadstools are only dangerous if you eat them, right? Ask again when you're glued to an explosive puffball, choking on deadly spores.
• Jellies. These near-invisible stalkers can immobilize you in an instant. Then they digest you -- and possibly gain your abilities!
• Molds. A rainbow of colors and textures abound, all of them bent on extending their noxious domain to every surface in sight, including your flesh.
• Oozes. Not all goo waits or sneaks. These guys are very active predators indeed! Hitting causes them to divide, but what happens when they combine may be worse.
• Puddings. Not all goo relies on spores and toxins, either. The steroidal freaks of the class, puddings would just as soon beat you up and eat you.
• Slimes. Nothing says "dungeon" like good ol' flesh-eating or toxic slime painfully liquefying you to create more slime. Available in several flavors!
• Spore Clouds. One minute the air is clear; the next, they swoop in from nowhere and inoculate your skin, your eyes, your lungs . . .

The sheer randomness and variety is sure to frustrate even players who've read this supplement, while the GM gets handy advice on creative uses and abuses to ensure that's the case.

The Awful Green Things from Outer Space (Reprint)

Monsters Everywhere!

The crew of the exploration ship Znutar just wanted to cruise around the Galaxy, discovering strange new worlds and playing pool. But then their ship was invaded by the Awful Green Things . . . and suddenly they were fighting for their lives!

In this wacky two-player game, one player controls the Awful Green Things. They grow and multiply every turn – especially if they can gobble up a crew member! The other player commands the crew, frantically trying weapon after weapon (pool sticks, fire extinguishers, cans of Zgwortz) to find something that kills the monsters.

This classic game by Tom Wham first appeared in Dragon Magazine in 1980, and has been a fan favorite ever since! This edition includes Tom's "Outside the Znutar" rules and counters, for going out the airlocks and fighting on the surface of the ship, and upgraded components: a mounted gameboard, heavy die-cut counters, and a full-color rulebook!

• "Iraqi Irruptor Blues," an adventure for GURPS Horror: The Madness Dossier, as told by GURPS guru Jason "PK" Levine. Try to find teammates who have been erased from existence, while fighting against monsters setting loose deadly memes, all in pursuit of a boxful of something . . .
• "Too Similar, Too Different," an in-depth examination of human hybrids from GURPS Locations: St. George's Cathedral author Michele Armellini. Learn how to create these walking (or oozing) nightmares, what GURPS characteristics are most appropriate, and four templates of possible monstrosities.
• "Hellblade," this month's Eidetic Memory offering from GURPS Banestorm: Abydos author David L. Pulver. Discover a tempting weapon that can trap the souls of those it slays . . . but where it puts those spirits is an adventure unto itself. Get GURPS stats for the demonic warders, a map of the Hell-Within-the-Blade, and full details to incorporate this subplot into your fantasy or modern campaign.
• "Anatomy of a Crossroads Bargain," a look at the history and roleplaying aspects of selling your soul for fun and profit. You'll also gain an understanding of appropriate GURPS traits to represent a bargain, and even "escape clauses" to come back from the brink!
• "Bell, Book, and Candle," a systemless presentation of three flavorful items that can help call upon the dead -- each with their own drawbacks. Incorporate them into a modern occult or monster-hunting campaign, or let them be a perilous part of any fantasy world.
• "Altus Brat," a wafer that can bring someone from the dead . . . but at a terrible cost. Discover GURPS stats and rules for the results of using this strange item.

This issue also provides a Random Thought Table that explores how to make your own horrific creations. No matter whether you seek a taste of terror to add to an otherwise normal campaign, or you're running a full-fledged fright-fest, you'll get more than you bargained for with this Pyramid!

GURPS Social Engineering: Back to School

You Have a Lot to Learn

GURPS is one of the rare few RPGs that lets characters improve between adventures as well as from them. The challenge is in making study interesting -- perhaps even an adventure in itself. GURPS Social Engineering: Back to School is the ideal textbook for gamers who want to learn how.

Drama geeks will like the advice on making school-based stories exciting. Nerds will appreciate the new rules for learning and teaching. Popular kids will enjoy the discussion of social success at school -- and how that translates to the community at large. Even jocks get a few words -- not many, and mostly small ones -- on body training and steroids.

And for the teachers out there, here's a summary in bullet points:

• Expanded rules for learning -- both slowly, through study and intensive training, and quickly, by spending earned points.
• New character-improvement options like "converting" points between skills and attributes, and treating learning as a job.
• Game mechanics for instruction quality, covering the effects of Teaching skill rolls, texts, training equipment, and more.
• Details on how advantages, disadvantages, skills, and techniques (including several new ones) influence learning and teaching.
• A look at social considerations such as student-teacher loyalty, finding teachers, and making academic Patrons and Rank useful.
• Thoughts on running campaigns that use all this stuff, whether from the viewpoint of students, teachers, or school administrators.

Read up . . . it'll all be on the test!

GURPS Thaumatology: Sorcery

Unlimited Options, Unlimited Power

GURPS often treats spells as skills, balancing stronger magic not with point costs but by requiring more time, risk, energy, or all three. Yet wizards in some settings can conduct rituals -- even powerful ones -- quickly, safely, and repeatedly. These magic-users wield a kind of innate magic known as sorcery.

GURPS Thaumatology: Sorcery treats magic as a power and builds spells as modified advantages. This gives you the flexibility to create and cast any spell you can imagine, along with the confidence that it will follow clear and consistent rules. And because sorcery is limited only by point cost, its strength scales directly with the campaign's power level.

This tome contains everything you need to start down the path to enlightenment:

• Complete, simple rules for creating sorcerers: Just choose Sorcery and Talent levels, and then pick a few spells!
• Nearly 50 ready-to-use spells -- inspired by GURPS Magic but built using advantages -- with guidelines for creating more.
• Rules for improvising spells you don't know. Though powerful magic is hard to improvise, sometimes a cantrip is all you need.
• A complete enchanting system, with rules for creating your own artifacts or buying them (with money, not points).
• Plenty of GM and player advice, including "Under the Hood" boxes explaining important assumptions, complex builds, and more.

GURPS Thaumatology: Sorcery puts you in complete control, giving you a potentially unlimited grimoire and as much power as you can afford. What will you do with it?

Pyramid #3/83: Alternate GURPS IV

Consider the Alternatives!

Innovative optional rules, fresh possibilities for making characters, and daring system tweaks can all be found within these pages. Its scintillating selections include:

• "Pointless Monster Hunting," a meaty guide to making characters for GURPS Monster Hunters without character points! Frequent Pyramid contributor Christopher R. Rice shows you what you need to create your champions quickly and easily -- plus some new options.

• "Playing With Health," this month's Eidetic Memory offering from GURPS Basic Set co-author David L. Pulver. Discover how you can make the Health attribute more active, by linking it to Perception and defining skills based on Speed.
• "Schrödinger's Backpack," a fun tweak for speeding up play by keeping heroes' gear undefined until they need it, presented by GURPS Martial Arts: Technical Grappling author Douglas H. Cole.
• "Possessions Under Control," new optional rules that let you use the foundation of the Technical Grappling system to wrestle with demons, aliens, and other entities that would seek to dominate or destroy your soul!

This issue also provides a Random Thought Table that loads the dice in new and interesting ways, plus an Odds and Ends with even more randomness. Regardless of whether you like your GURPS with minor add-ons or major overhauls, you're sure to find something to enhance the envelope-pushing prospects with this issue!

GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Denizens: Barbarians

Civilization Is for the Weak

Orderly farms and towns can provide you with ale, but they also create structure that crushes the spirit, replacing righteous rage and self-reliance with ridiculous manners and clothing that'll get you killed in the real world. Come the next dark age, when dragons darken the skies, demons wander the frozen wastes, and the cities are in ruins, those fancy bards and elf princes will look to the folk they called "barbarians" to defend them. And maybe you'll help -- if they saved you the last of the ale!

GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Denizens: Barbarians is the first in a series of GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Denizens guides to the delving professions. It details the crude, angry, oversized, and surprisingly complex world of barbarians, including:

• Variant templates. The basic barbarian is an all-round survivor, but the savage lands have their share of heroes who are more warriors than outdoorsmen, or vice versa -- not to mention those who wield the terrifying power of Rage.
• Lenses. Play even more to type as a sea raider or a berserker, or by eschewing armor in favor of raw grit. Or play against type just to be ornery . . . not all of your kind are giants, and some are actually refined (ale is really nice) and even learn the ways of other professions.
• Power-ups. Get bigger, tougher, stronger, and angrier as you adventure. Choose from a long list of options, including 20 perks, more than a dozen barbaric feats, animal companions, and the all-new power of Rage with its mighty shouts and skinchanging abilities. Show those pansy spellcasters the screaming war-face of true power!
• Gear. Dine on mountain rations and rageahol, smear yourself with war paint, snatch up truly huge weapons, and lay waste to your enemies. Discover just how effective crudeness can be, and learn of storied tribal relics to quest after.
• And more! Extensive customization advice, alternative wildcard skills, thoughts on getting the most from Outdoorsman, new combat maneuvers, special modifiers for your abilities . . . barbarians are capable above all else.

When fast-talking cityfolk, dishonorable magic-users, and cowards in shining armor make you want to snap off a stalactite and pound some enemies into the ground, GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Denizens: Barbarians is your go-to guide!

Munchkin Imaginary Frenemies

You can't clear thousands of dungeons without making a few Frenemies . . . so that's what we did! As long as your Imaginary Frenemies are safely stored inside their blister, they help you in combat . . . but if you release them to get at the cards inside, you can't use their rule anymore. Oh, temptation!

Special Rule

As long as this package remains unopened, you may keep your Imaginary Frenemies in front of you as a +2 combat bonus. It cannot be lost to Curses, Bad Stuff, or theft, and stays with you even if you die.

At any time, you may open the package, releasing your Frenemies, and draw as many Treasures as there are players in your game. Keep one of the Treasures for yourself and give each other player one each.

Sign the two Door cards inside (Yes! With a REAL pen! In permanent ink!) and put them in your hand as well. When you play a card that you have signed, it has double effect. Save this card so you remember this rule in the future!

Pyramid #3/84: Perspectives

Bring a Whole New Perspective to Your GURPS Game!

Sometimes the most amazing thing you can do with your gaming is to look at things from a new angle, shake things up, and challenge your perspectives. This issue of Pyramid -- the PDF magazine for roleplayers -- is devoted to looking at things from a different point of view. Its senses-stretching articles include:

• "The Long and the Short of It," Sean Punch's supplement-length look at how extremes of time and space can call for special scrutiny in GURPS, in the same vein as the advice from How to Be a GURPS GM. Whether your campaigns are set in a tiny hamlet or the endless multiverse, or whether they're one-shots or span generations, you'll learn how to ensure your campaigns are balanced and fun!
• "The Disappearance of Father Cohen," this month's Eidetic Memory from GURPS Abydos author David L. Pulver. In this adventure -- suitable for GURPS Horror or lower-powered GURPS Monster Hunters heroes -- the investigators must determine whether Father Cohen was working for good or ill, what his goals were, and how to defeat a greater evil!
• "Heroes on the Mass Scale," an in-depth guide to translating adventurers into the GURPS Mass Combat system. Zooming out from furious personal melee to larger tactical battles has never been easier!
• "The Elvey Institute," an odd organization (with GURPS Boardroom and Curia stats) that takes a very long view on solving the world's problems.

This issue also presents a Random Thought Table that offers more ideas for different perspectives, plus Odds and Ends that expand the options for the Elvey Institute and feature a behind-the-scenes look at the gorgeous Brandon Moore cover. Your campaign can always benefit from a new point of view, and this issue might be just what you need to look at things with fresh eyes!

GURPS Action 4: Specialists

Time to Bring in the Experts

Yes, GURPS Action is back with a vengeance!

Action heroes might be stereotyped, but they rarely fit into nice, neat boxes. Studios spend big bucks making sure we all know exactly what's special about the hero of their latest blockbuster. While Action 1: Heroes and Action 3: Furious Fists are up to the challenge of creating characters who stand out, there are times when 250-point templates aren't quite the right tool for the job.

That's when you call in Action 4: Specialists. Its modular design system lets you pick and choose from over 100 areas of expertise to create exactly the right hero for the mission, while its systematic advice on filing off rough edges and filling in holes gives you a lean, mean action machine.

But that's not all!

This system is also useful for:

• Running Action at lower- and higher-than-usual power levels, from 125 points on up.
• "Leveling-up" characters, no matter how they were designed.
• Quickly designing NPCs, be they Allies, generic supporting cast, or bad guys.

Because when the going gets tough, you send in the professionals!

GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Treasures 1: Glittering Prizes

Did Somebody Say "Money"?

Any delver who has ever met a dishonest merchant can attest that it pays -- literally! -- to know exactly what you've dragged home from the dungeon. Sometimes it's good ol' gold and silver, but the world is older and stranger than even scholars and wizards admit. Canny treasure-hunters consult books before brokers, poring over tomes like GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Treasures 1: Glittering Prizes to decide what to keep and what to sell -- and for how much.

The Dungeon Fantasy Treasures series expands on the popular GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 8: Treasure Tables supplement. This first volume, Glittering Prizes, is your guide to identifying all the world's cash and separating what merely looks valuable from what will actually fetch a pretty penny in town. Learn all about:

• Coins. Not everything that glitters is gold -- there's also billon, tumbaga, electrum, and stranger stuff. Weight and purity are issues, too, as are clipping and fakery.
• Funny money. Don't throw away those colorful pieces of paper or that big old rock with a hole in it until you're sure it isn't cash in the eyes of somebody, somewhere.
• Magical cash. Some coins are valuable more for what they can do than for what they're made from. Others are cursed. And then there's Hell money.
• Fancy fabrics. Know your taffeta from your organdy. An enemy's colorful garb and shiny buckles might be worth far more than the contents of his purse, and the savvy slayer will take measures not to get it bloody.
• Unusual materials. When an item is made of rare ebony, solidified moonbeams, or pure magical flame, it doesn't really matter what the thing is -- it'll net a tidy sum!
• Motifs and cultural details. Become an expert on patterns and embellishments. Identifying an artifact as being from the Translucent City means getting five times the usual price from a collector, but if the coins bear the sign of the squid, it's best to melt them down.
• And more! Currency systems, the practical matter of counting coin, and even rules for using money as a weapon . . . chances are that if you have a question about cash, it's answered right here.

Whether you're a GM looking to spice up a treasure chest or the player of a greedy adventurer, Glittering Prizes is the essential reference on the stuff worth keeping.

Transhuman Space: Bio-Tech 2100

Make New Friends

In the future of Transhuman Space, no field has grown as much or had such a profound impact as biotechnology. The exploitation of new frontiers in space and underwater has pushed civilization's boundaries -- but only because biotech has delivered improved humans capable of living there, not to mention bioroids and uplifted animals to do much of the work. And behind these visible innovations is a great deal of change, both scientific and social.

Transhuman Space: Bio-Tech 2100 complements Transhuman Space: Bioroid Bazaar, taking a closer look at the practical details behind upgrades, parahumans, uplifts, bioroids, and bioshells. It delivers setting information and game mechanics valuable to gamers interested in playing champions or enemies of the biotech revolution -- friends or foes of the not-quite-human and nothing-like-human beings that now share the solar system. Contents include:

• A review of Transhuman Space biotech from both scientific and social perspectives.
• Notes on skills and abilities needed to create, identify, and even impersonate artificial life.
• New looks at Legality Class and Social Stigma in a sprawling setting with endless societies, and at what "species" really means in game terms.
• Stats for 11 uplifted or adapted animals, and seven bioroid animals.

Whether your goal is to design a custom pet, pick farmyard stock for your Mars colony, or track down rogue bioroids, Bio-Tech 2100 is here with the facts and figures!

Discover how these releases are similar and different, learn how to map the Assistance Requests of Guilds to Boardroom and Curia organization types, and marvel at a faerie court presented through the lens of both volumes.
• "The Most Worshipful Royal Society of Teratologists," this month's Eidetic Memory from GURPS Banestorm: Abydos author David L. Pulver. Join this group to gain illumination on all things monster-related (or die trying!), or just seek their assistance as you navigate their bureaucracy and customs. The Society also comes with its stats in the Boardroom and Curia format!
• "Designer's Notes: Back to School," a return to the classroom with William H. Stoddard, author of GURPS Social Engineering: Back to School. Go behind the scenes with Back to School and tour four example educational facilities; each includes Boardroom and Curia stats and even details on one larger facility using GURPS City Stats.
• "The Knights Templar," a Boardroom and Curia presentation of that famed group in three iterations. Your guide is Graeme Davis, co-author of GURPS Crusades, as he showcases versions of the Knights based on history, fiction, and conspiracy.

This issue also delivers a vignette by Matt Riggsby set in the new Car Wars universe, a Random Thought Table that looks at rules as a way to conjure great ideas, plus an Odds and Ends that lets you be a member of a group without knowing it, and gives more details on the amazing Brandon Moore cover.

GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 17: Guilds

Membership Hath Its Privileges

Delvers need civilization in the sense that without it, selling loot, collecting rewards, buying better gear, and scoring lucrative quests would be difficult. On the other hand, paying taxes, obeying petty laws, and kowtowing to your "betters" . . . well, those aspects aren't so appealing. While even the toughest heroes rarely go it alone, savvy ones would sooner take their chances with crude, bloodthirsty, but well-armed peers than settle down and trust Somebody Else to deal with the monsters outside (and often inside) the city walls.

Yet clever adventurers also know it's foolish not to exploit every possible advantage in their pursuit of wealth, power, and glory. Organized society isn't always polite society, after all, and some organizations are downright useful to treasure-hunters and monster-slayers -- whether as sources of employment and gold or as providers of training, equipment, and supernatural support. Such groups are the subject of GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 17: Guilds, which covers:

• Assistance. Sign on temporarily or join up permanently to reap benefits that range from a place to stay in town, through maps and supplies for your next mission, to a handy mob of spear-carrying thugs -- and beyond, to magical augury, blessings, and power-item recharges.
• Social Clout. Civilization can be as unforgiving as dungeons and wastelands to those without Claim to Hospitality, Rank, Reputation, Status, or Tenure. These power-ups get short shrift in Dungeon Fantasy, but they pack a lot of bang for the buck for the fortune-seeker who thinks big!
• Organizations. Not just guilds per se, but also tribes, armies, temples, crime syndicates, secret conspiracies, and more. Learn who they are, what you can do for them, and what they can do for you.
• And more! Including secret languages and funky titles for guild members, concrete details on geographical scope, and plenty of advice on how to use all these concepts in Dungeon Fantasy.

Whether you're the GM of a Dungeon Fantasy campaign where society is more than an abstraction or the player of the next Grand Master of the Wizards' Guild, GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 17: Guilds has something to offer. Not every adventure ends when the heroes return to civilization!

GURPS Aliens: Sparrials

From The Trees To The Stars

With their small size, deft hands, and keen senses, the sparrials are made to order for the GM in need of a race of alien thieves. And certainly, they have a predisposition toward that role. Yet as always with sparrials, there's a lot more going on than meets the eye . . .

A GURPS fixture since they popped up in Roleplayer #10 (May 1988), these furry aliens got a bit more detail in GURPS Classic: Aliens -- and now GURPS Aliens: Sparrials is here to give them their own dedicated supplement. The inaugural volume of the GURPS Aliens series covers sparrials in all their clever, chaotic glory. It includes a full racial template, of course, and much, much more:

• Mindset. For sparrials, theft is a source of pride rather than shame, home is where you are and not where you're from, and the smell is the thing. Treat them like short, furry humans at your peril!
• Society. How do you define "civilization" for a race strongly characterized by wanderlust, kleptomania, and individualism? With care! Learn everything you need to know about their ideas of family, social dominance, law, economics, and the arts before you visit.
• History. The lack of huge empires and widespread cooperation doesn't mean sparrials were uncultured primitives until their recent technological revolution. They have a past rich in folklore and legend, and would be happy to tell you all about it.
• Tech. Though new arrivals on the interstellar scene, the sparrials have embraced technology and developed everything from personal gear to starships that reflect their outlook on life.
• Characters. Take advantage of extensive notes on common traits, variant races, racial martial arts, and fitting professions to create interesting and detailed sparrial PCs and NPCs.
• And more! Names. Pets. Using sparrials in fantasy. If it's about sparrials, it's here!

GURPS Aliens: Sparrials is a wonderful resource whether you're a GM seeking aliens to populate your GURPS Space campaign or a player who wants the challenge of taking the role of a truly alien alien. It's also an inspiring source of fun for gamers using other game systems. Just remember to keep an eye on your stuff.
