Pyramid 2: Looks Like a Job for . . . Superheroes
This issue of Pyramid¸ the PDF magazine for roleplayers¸ is called "Looks Like a Job for... Superheroes." Devoted to supers campaigns and four-color fun¸ it includes:
- An extensive alternate history of the Russian supers program¸ from before the fall of the tsar to the death of Khrushchev. Learn why Soviet heroes are so secretive¸ so skittish¸ and sometimes seemingly insane!
- Information about powerful villains who use their incredible abilities to conquer less-than-incredible regions¸ plus three ready-to-use GURPS bad guys for mid- to high-power campaigns!
- A group of low- to mid-power GURPS criminals - the Player Kings - who rely on their theatrical-style powers to commit outlandish crimes. Written by Stephen Dedman¸ the author of GURPS Dinosaurs!
- Discussions about what it means to be a reformed villain¸ about using powers as metaphors in a campaign¸ and more!
In addition¸ this issue offers the odds and ends that make a magazine fun¸ including humor¸ Murphy's Rules with Greg Hyland¸ reviews and recommendations that fit the theme¸ and a "Last Word¸" where we ask an industry luminary to pick one word related to the issue's theme. This month¸ Steve Long of Champions fame gives the last word on superheroes.
