Travel with gallivanting globetrotter Matt Riggsby ( GURPS Renaissance Florence ) as he presents a full GURPS adventure! This two-fisted tale will face heroes off against a maddening mystery: Who - or what &ndash are the "Air Devils of the South Seas"? Prowl with prolific Pyramid penman J. Edward Tremlett¸ as he presents a generic adventure outline that will take explorers around the world to face a potentially life-ending threat. Where angels fear to tread¸ heroes rush "Into the Temple of the Hungry Star!" Keep tabs on your adventurers and their exploits with the "Cliffhanger Country Checklist"! In addition¸ Pyramid serves up more goodies that make a magazine fun¸ including odds and ends¸ 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 a word or phrase related to the issue's theme.
