Re: Pyramid #3/100: Pyramid Secrets
Very excited to dig into this issue!
On a technical note, there seems to be a problem with the PDF outline. I see a lot of junk in my outline. There's about a dozen lines of OLE_LINK[n]. This is the first Pyramid issue I've seen with this problem. |

Re: Pyramid #3/100: Pyramid Secrets
I've had a dignified man-crush on the Impulse Points system for quite some time now, but Ghostdancer's new article amps the whole thing up to the next level.
It's a great genre tool, a solid way to model systems ported over from other RPGs, a fun system in itself... and also supersedes and encompasses a number of other systems. That last part (the box on page 8) is great because he managed to simplify the game even as he expanded its possibilities. I was already planning on making heavy use of IPs in my next game. I'll be stripping away many of the options for how you can spend them, but several of the new options in this article will find their way onto the list. Great and for me at least very timely. |

As I said earlier it really is versatile and will be added to one of my magic systems and add a form of Blessed for Clerics and such using the rules as well. Good to hear, I had the same bug (using Sumtra) but figured a fix would be forthcoming.

Re: Pyramid #3/100: Pyramid Secrets
Discussing Fashion Forward with my GM and he feels more than a +1 is cinematic. Seems like it might be a profitable discussion here so...
I partly agree, though expensive clothing is also about prestige and the right outfit can really increase or lower someones attractiveness level. So matching to that Attractive +1, Handsome/Beautiful +2, or Handsome/Beautiful with Androgynous or Impressive +3 Those levels and bonuses are not considered Cinematic. So can clothes be that much an upgrade? I currently lean toward yes and not likely to fret about my GMs opinion as I dont see spending *10 for single outfit. A true clotheshorse on the other hand might. Another thought I had was that higher Status should lower the bonus from a person with lower Status. -1 per difference in level, but not to below 0 and cumulative with normal Status penalties. Another question not explicitly addressed and I have read it two different ways. The example is a Status 0 outfit and the text references Cost of Living. So for higher Status and thus higher costs of living does the requirement go up? Or is it against basic standard of living for average wealth? That of course makes it much easier for rich people to look better but that seems reasonable too. Fashion Sense seems a little underrated here as its basically a +1 craft skill, Sewing or Artist (Fashion) are used examples. As described in GURPS Basic it is almost like Quick Gadgeteering but just for dressing well and appropriately.
