Transhuman Space Classic: High Frontier

"One giant leap for mankind . . ."

In the year 2100, Earth-Lunar space is the most densely populated area of the solar system outside Earth itself. Come visit:

• Earth orbit, buzzing with busy space factories, bustling spaceports, under the watchful eye of rival orbital weapons platforms. But the biggest danger is not the threat of war but the ravages of 150 years of space junk, moving at 25,000 miles per hour!
• Lagrange 4, where giant cities in space glitter like jewels in the night, presided over by the massive O'Neill colony Islandia.
• Lagrange 5, the ghetto of the solar system, colonized by dreamers, ideologues, and undercapitalized entrepreneurs. Sometimes a dream and a prayer aren't enough.
• The Moon. We're back, and this time with bulldozers. Luna is the solar system's industrial park, with Helium-3 mines that feed the fusion reactors on Earth, and more cybershell robots than people. But it's not all machines: the north and south poles are home to the pleasure domes of Moonshadow and thriving transhumanist Luna City. And on Luna's farside, a massive telescope array unravels the mysteries of the cosmos . . .

Pyramid #3/17: Modern Exploration

It's time to draw a dotted red line to adventure! This month, Pyramid -- the PDF magazine for roleplayers -- sets its sights on "Modern Exploration." This globetrotting guide includes:

• "The Map's Dark Spaces," an unusual world where the Age of Exploration occurred almost a century early! Cross-time travelers from the GURPS Infinite Worlds setting can explore the enigmas of this unusual alternate timeline, or this world can serve as a stand-alone campaign where international explorers use steam-powered contraptions to track down mysterious artifacts.
• "The Black Box," a modern-day conspiracy that assembles teams to deal with "impossible" global problems -- and then claims the fruits of those missions. Are they working toward a goal more sinister than the problems they solve?
• "Mummy Amulets," a collection of powerful, Egyptian-inspired artifacts that should spice up any tomb-raider's trip. Written by Graeme Davis (author of GURPS Vikings), these magic items are suitable for all GURPS campaigns featuring the restless dead.
• "Shovel Bums," a look at a real-world profession that provides the perfect excuse to travel, investigate, and explore. This article includes information on these archaeologists and their methodology, GURPS templates, plus a short framework for using these heroes as the basis for a cinematic campaign.

In addition, Pyramid has plenty of treasures that make a magazine fun: a collection of "Curious Coins" that form an interesting puzzle for heroes to discover, Murphy's Rules with Greg Hyland, Steven Marsh's Random Thought Table, and other odds and ends. There's never been a better time for exploring the world than right now!

The Stars Are Right Invocation Symbol Counters

Proper invocations are vital for The Stars Are Right. All the symbols are on the cards, so it isn't hard to keep track. But if you're teaching the game, or just starting out, here's a play aid to help keep your Flips separate from your Pushes.

Just print out a sheet, cut them out, and pile them where everyone can reach. Take the proper counter(s) from the pile when you invoke a Creature, exchange them when you use your summoned Creatures to change symbols, and return one to the pile each time you Change the Sky. When you use your last counter, that phase of your turn is over.

This file contains both full-color and black-and-white versions.
