Pyramid 3/045: Monsters
Unnatural Selections Fight or flight: the choice is yours! This month's issue of Pyramid - the PDF magazine for roleplayers - is devoted to monsters... as well as those who fight them. Our creature features are: "Inhuman Options¸" an expansion for GURPS Monster Hunters that adds templates and possibilities for inhuman heroes. Written by that series' architect¸ Jason "PK" Levine¸ these four templates are well-suited for any campaign that would welcome PC ghosts¸ changelings¸ and more. "The Sad Lost God¸" by GURPS Locations: Hellsgate author Matt Riggsby. Discover what a fallen deity will do to regain the followers he needs to rise once again. It includes GURPS stats for the titular titan. "Zombie Predators¸" perhaps the most flavorful Eidetic Memory offering we've ever received¸ from GURPS Fourth Edition co-author David Pulver. What don't "they" want you to know about contrails¸ public-water fluoridation¸ and other secrets - and how do those plans fit in with an attempt to stop a zombie apocalypse? It includes sinister GURPS stats for something innocuously named a "mutant necrophage." "Half Alive¸" a look at one man's intersection of horror and tragedy. Written by Michele Armellini (author of GURPS WWII: Grim Legions )¸ this GURPS creature is suitable for any fantastic setting where magic can go terribly wrong. "The Formation¸" a systemless article that describes a most unusual breed of crystalline parasite from outer space. It includes ideas for using them in a modern horror¸ atomic horror¸ steampunk¸ or fantasy setting. "The Wild Hunt¸" a look at the forces of the dark fae. Especially suitable for a Monster Hunters campaign (and building on the foundation of this issue's "Inhuman Options")¸ these timeless terrors are also suitable for any GURPS campaign where ogres¸ unseelie¸ and more can terrorize young and old alike. "A Corrupt System¸" a most unusual threat that may cause the world to end without the heroes even being aware of it. This systemless threat is suitable for any modern setting - especially those where the heroes need to find the truth. This issue also includes Steven Marsh's look at how to tweak the quantity and quality of evil¸ plus some Odds and Ends that don't fit elsewhere. Knowledge is power; with this month's Pyramid you'll confront your fears like never before!
