November 21, 2004: GURPS Powers Playtesters Needed!

GURPS Powers is the guide to creating characters with superhuman gifts using the GURPS Basic Set, Fourth Edition. It deals with using modifiers to customize existing advantages into abilities, and then grouping related abilities under overarching powers similar to the psi powers in the Basic Set. It also provides variants for existing advantages, several new advantages, and rules for using abilities and powers. This rules material, written by Sean Punch, is now ready for playtesting. (The remaining material covers genres and campaigns, and isn't ready for testing.)

We will conduct the Powers playtest on a closed mailing list. Only Pyramid subscribers are eligible to participate, and list membership is limited. Interested parties should write to Sean Punch by no later than November 24, 2004, and should include a brief note describing past playtesting experience and familiarity with GURPS, Fourth Edition. As we anticipate many replies, we cannot reply to individual applications.

Warehouse 23 News: Peace And Love!

If neither the anime nor the BESM games can convince you to become a Trigun fan, perhaps you need to go back to the manga that started it all. Trigun Volume 1 and Volume 2 introduce you to the planet Gunsmoke, where science fiction and westerns collide with a well-intentioned man who leaves a vast trail of destruction behind him.
