Pyramid #3/43: Thaumatology III
The Magic Is Back!
Are you looking for more magic at the gaming table? This month's Pyramid -- the PDF magazine for roleplayers -- is there for all your eye-of-newt needs. This month we visit the topic of Thaumatology for the third time, with more magical alternates and tweaks to add that spark back into your life. This issue's mana-marinated morsels include:
- "Adelphos Dionysos," a school of magic that follows the form of GURPS Thaumatology: Magical Styles. Written by GURPS giant Sean Punch, this style draws on the power of wine to give its practitioners power sublime!
- "Cultists of the Elder Gods," a look at the followers of everyone's favorite GURPS Dungeon Fantasy freaks. These clerics are quick to prove that madness is a state of mind!
- "Bottled Magic," an expansion of the Ritual Path magic options from GURPS Monster Hunters. With rules for potions, salves, and more, you won't think over these new options; you'll drink over them!
- "Ghoul Magic," this month's Eidetic Memory offering from GURPS Fourth Edition co-author David Pulver. Discover the GURPS Thaumatology rituals that will let you slake your appetite . . . by giving you a new appetite!
- "The Missioners," a systemless group of mortal minds hoping to bring magic back into the world -- no matter the cost.
- "Magic as Technological Progress," a different way of looking at the core GURPS Magic system. It's like tech levels . . . for spells!
- "Real Weird Books," a primer on the perfect starting points for introducing actual arcane lore into any gaming situation.
This Pyramid also presents a mystifyingly mundane Murphy's Rules with Greg Hyland, plus Steven Marsh's crackling-fun Random Thought Table. When it comes to Pyramid issues devoted to magic, the third time's the charm!

Stop Carrying All Those Pennies!
Six more big, easy-to-read level counters for Munchkin . . . in six more great Munchkin flavors! And of course there's a special rule!
Special Rule
If you are using a level counter that matches the set (or one of the sets) you are playing, start the game at Level 2 rather than Level 1! Roll the die before the game. The high roller gets to pick his level counter first. If the order matters after that, go in descending order of rolls.
Six level counters in a plastic bag.

GURPS Classic: Castle Falkenstein
Steam Meets Magic
Imagine a world very much like 19th-century Earth, but with wizards and swashbuckling heroes . . . and Dragons and Faerie! A world where Kabbalistic magic meets steam-powered technology against the backdrop of imperial intrigue, and where the writings of Doyle, Shelley, Verne, and their contemporaries are fact. A world of high fantasy and romance. This is the world of Castle Falkenstein.
This critically-acclaimed RPG setting was originally published by R. Talsorian Games. It found an enthusiastic fandom . . . gamers even showed up at conventions in elaborate Falkenstein court costumes. For its fans, there is no setting quite like "Falk," with its combination of courtly graces, 19th-century intrigue, and steampunk.
Now, GURPS players can join the dance with the Steve Jackson Games adaptation of Castle Falkenstein. GURPS Castle Falkenstein is true to the original in style and substance, and includes full conversion notes so GMs of either system can use all the sourcebooks published for the other.

Munchkin fans love crazy things, the crazier the better . . . like a Munchkin Cthulhu game when the cards start flying and ichors, monster enhancers, and other bonuses keep the levels bouncing up and down! Now you'll never have to stop and recount again!

Munchkin Zombies T-Shirt
(Reprint)
Every zombie knows that fashion is crucial -- no one wants to be caught wearing last year's hot outfits while you're stalking the living and eating their brains. Luckily, now you have the Munchkin Zombies T-Shirt in your wardrobe!
Official Rule
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. The autograph of Steve Jackson, Andrew Hackard, or John Kovalic on the shirt lets you treat one Power as Rank 0 per autograph. You may not change the Rank 0 Power(s) once selected.
3. Wearing two or more Munchkin shirts does NOT give you both bonuses. The one on the outside rules.
4. Use of the Cheat! card overrides Rule 3 and lets you benefit from two different shirts. (It doesn't matter which one is outside.)
5. 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.
*On your torso. Right side out.
One T-shirt.
