Pyramid 56: Prehistory



Get Really Retro!

What happens before page one? Cavemen and more from the dawn of time! This month's issue of Pyramid - the PDF magazine for roleplayers - looks at all things prehistoric. This issue's ancient wisdom includes:

  • "Caveman Fundamentals¸" a collection of GURPS Fourth Edition templates and roles that will let you create a club-wielding cliff-climber in no time! It includes a new racial template¸ six new templates for typical cave-dwelling roles¸ and a new Talent.
  • "Past Presents and Future¸" which expands on the ideas and rules for gifting societies found in GURPS Low-Tech Companion 1: Philosophers and Kings. Written by that supplement's co-author Matt Riggsby¸ this article provides everything you need to bring primitive quid pro quo to your game: game mechanics¸ adventure seeds¸ and more.
  • "Caverns of the Chronomancer¸" this month's Eidetic Memory by David L. Pulver (co-progenitor of the GURPS Basic Set for Fourth Edition). It's a GURPS Dungeon Fantasy adventure with a twist... although if you're thinking "cavemen¸ dinosaurs¸ and temporal experiments gone awry¸" then you're getting in the right frame of mind!
  • "Where the Snow Bleeds¸" a more traditional GURPS adventure outline for cavemen (or those who might interact with such a tribe). What mystery lies in the mountains - and will the heroes live to tell the tale?
  • "Prehistoric Plots¸" an even dozen plot ideas for how to bring the dawn of time to your gaming table.
  • "The Old Ways¸" a collection of 29 new spells (plus rules and insight) that bring primitive magical flavor to the Ritual Path Magic system found in GURPS Monster Hunters.
  • "First and Foremost¸" a short Appendix Z article from GURPS Assistant Line Editor Jason "PK" Levine that shows how to be (or become) the first one ever to know a GURPS skill or ability.

This month's Random Thought Table looks at how you can keep 'em guessing even when they know the ending¸ Odds and Ends draws inspiration from the idea of "modern¸" and Murphy's Rules is more lost than normal. With this month's Pyramid¸ you can grab your mate¸ see what the night life has to offer¸ and go clubbing - like never before!
