Pyramid: Pyramids

The articles could be looks at pyramids through the lenses of various genres.



Pyramid: Dogfight

A look at aerial combat with a focus on WWI and WWII. Though I could see some odds and ends concerning aerial combat in other genres.

...
An issue dedicated to burial practices, what valuables and/or traps are left, etc. could work. Along with descriptions of what supernatural dangers their cultures believed lingered with and around the dead.

I like the GURPS write up for guns, so maybe some specific by era/genre gun write up articles.

On the larger scale I'd like an article on larger weapon systems

Similarly I like the existing articles for iconic vehicles, ("tiger terror", "devil's chariot" etc) so I'd love to see more of them.

I like the write ups of iconic fight scenes that appear on various blogs. I think these do a great job of both capturing the imagination and show casing the system in use (I'm thinking of stuff like the writes up of Black Widow in Ironman 2 on "Gaming Ballistic", or the gun fight write ups on "Shooting Dice" ). You wouldn't need a whole articles of them them but maybe a series of one offs. I also think these can be a good showcase for rulings in very specific situations that may not appear in the rules.


A Martial Arts Techniques & Combinations workshop, again maybe showcasing some iconic ones from fiction (this could lead out of the fight scene write ups).

A good thread, but I think it should be in the Pyramid subforum.

Here's one though.

DFRPG Designer's notes.

A huge article deconstructing decisions made for DFRPG.

If you mean "Dogfight Action" in Pyramid #3/53, something a bit more detailed and tactical would be nice.

Has Pyramid ever done a "wainscott" issue?
Perhaps 3/48: Secret Magic.

"Modern mundane times" - Adventures in the so-called real world, without Voodoo-Hoodoo, Mumbo-Jumbo or brooding Vampires.

Suggestions for real-life hot spots and campaigns would be esp. welcome. I really liked the hint in High Tech about the oil companies as patrons.

I want to second this because I'd really like to see this happen. Knowing Your Own Strength is my most-used article. I'd like to see some expansion on Strength-related rules that it didn't cover as well. How do I summon Kromm to make this happen?
