Pyramid #3/053: Action

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Lights, Camera, Action!

Push the speedometer needle to the right with this issue of Pyramid, the PDF magazine for roleplayers. It's action-packed – in more ways than one! This month's impossible heist includes:

  • "Buddies and Loners," a look at how to emulate those small-group action-movie antics. Written by GURPS Action architect Sean Punch, this feature includes GURPS lenses for that series, plus assumptions, adventure tips, and even a couple of new advantages.
  • "Extended Action!" This trove by popular GURPS author Phil Masters expands the Action possibilities to past and future, with a new template and lenses. Now you can be a kid again – literally – or get involved in a horseback chase.
  • "Hell on Wheels," a military vehicle that's at home in any heavy-hitting GURPS game. Written by GURPS Gun Fu co-author Hans-Christian Vortisch, this article gives you a complete rundown of the Cadillac Gage Commando: its history, features, and campaign ideas, plus stats for two versions of this rugged ride.
  • "Dogfight Action!" The name alone promises aerial antics, and David L. Pulver (author of GURPS Mass Combat) delivers in this month's Eidetic Memory. Take the Action rules for vehicular chases to the sky . . . and ramp up the action with stats for some common fighters and their weapons.
  • "Dealing With the Law," a systemless look at how to handle a law-enforcement entanglement. Learn what to do . . . and what not to do.
  • "I've Got a Great Idea," an optional GURPS rule that lets you speed up pre-mission planning by supporting on-the-fly inspiration. This great idea is written by Roger Burton West, author of GURPS Reign of Steel: Will to Live.
  • "The Red Swords," a fictional secret organization that combines merciful medicine with manic missions. Suitable for any modern-day setting, it includes some ideas for Action heroes and campaigns.
  • "Fortunately, I Saw This Coming," optional "retroaction" rules and advantages for those times when your hero is smarter than you, written by GURPS Monster Hunters author Jason "PK" Levine.

This issue also presents a Random Thought Table that looks at how motivational money can be, Odds and Ends that complicate things, and a Murphy's Rules that auto know better. Don't wait for the opening credits; get the best seat in the house with this issue!

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
