Pyramid #3/50: Dungeon Fantasy II

Sneakin' and scoutin'
Hackin', slashin', and killin'
And of course lootin'

Did you like Pyramid #3/36: Dungeon Fantasy? Do you need more templates and power-ups and dungeons and gear? If you said no, then get out of here, maggot! This issue is for monster-slaying, swag-hunting heroes, not pansy elves. Because more is always better, e23 presents Pyramid #3/50: Dungeon Fantasy II.

• Remember when dwarves were dwarves, pansy elves were pansy elves, and nobody needed to join silly professional associations run by humans to go out and stick sharp pieces of metal in orcs? If you do, then Races as Professions is for you.
  
  
• Do you use GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 9: Summoners but find your demonologists and necromancers getting bored when they have no demons or undead to play with? Dark Summonings provides lenses to loosen up their niches a bit, along with new multi-profession lenses and a playable bloodsucking race with a vested interest in the Dark Side.
  
  
• Those of you playing a saint or a warrior-saint (see Pyramid #3/36) will love Saintly Power-Ups. But here's a secret: This article doesn't just expand saints – it opens up the entire system of GURPS Powers: Divine Favor, with levels of Divine Favor past 16, new traits for paragons, and the ultimate godly power of History-Shaping Miracles!
  
  
• What do you get if you take normal dungeons and stretch out the corridors from yards to miles? Super Dungeons, of course! In this month's Eidetic Memory, David Pulver not only explains how to justify and use these constructions in a game, but also provides an example (with a map!) for you to drop into your existing campaign.
  
  
• GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 13: Loadouts made the tedious task of assigning equipment so much faster and easier . . . but since its release, later supplements have added the mentalist, while Pyramid has added the demolisher, justiciar, monster slaver, musketeer, and mystic knight. It's time for Matt Riggsby to give us More Dungeon Fantasy Loadouts, right? Right.
  
  
• The pajama-wearing stars of GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 12: Ninja hogged all the spotlight time (ironic for a bunch of guys who dress like bunraku puppeteers, neh?), relegating the less-flashy assassin to a mere box. After numerous death threats, Peter Dell'Orto came back to give us Power-Ups for Assassins. With plenty of boons, including seven new perks useful for any quiet killer, it's safe (heh-heh) to say that there's no longer a contract on his head.
  
  
• To balance out the serious article above, Peter also delivered a Dungeon Fantasy Monsters-style take on a couple of Snowmen. Go ahead, let your players laugh and crack Rankin/Bass jokes . . . it'll just make the GM's smile all the more satisfying when the delvers' ho-ho-hot blood spills across the tundra.
  
  
• And our final gifts to you are this month's usual features, including a Random Thought Table that contrasts consistency against massive change, an Odds and Ends FROM HELL, and a Murphy's Rules that pulls those loose cannon back in line.
