After last year's GURPS PDF Challenge, there's more of my stuff
now being funded on Kickstarter.
Steve Jackson Games is running a Kickstarter for three issues of
Pyramid, the general GURPS magazine that was shut down a couple of
years ago (and filling that gap was a large part of why The Path of
Cunning happened). So the individual articles will be shorter than
the short PDFs were, but you'll get more of them.
One of the two pieces I wrote for this set is is going in no matter
what: a set of guidelines for running the Reign of Steel setting
with the GURPS Action ruleset, including how to use and modify the
templates and lenses, the most important bits of Ultra-Tech
equipment, and how Reign of Steel differs from the typical Action
setting (for example, the heavier warbots are much bigger and tougher
than even a highly cinematic human, and even the light ones have more
armour than a normal mook).
The other piece, somewhere among the stretch goals for the Modern
issue, is a list of interesting vehicles that adventurers may come
across in the course of their travels – complete with GURPS vehicle
stats. It's heavily influenced by my biases, of course; there's a
Traction Avant in there, a skid-steer backloader, and a bunch of
1960s sports cars as well as the modern ones. And surely you can't
resist the opportunity to have a chase scene on a Seg… whoops,
"pavement scooter".
I really liked Pyramid, and I like the look of these articles.
(Also, US$6 for this much stuff by reliable GURPS authors is not a
hard choice to make.)
The
Kickstarter
began yesterday and ends on 26 January.
