1. Ten for Ten is explicitly about "supplements I wrote in the 2004-2014 period," not Hans' ideas. Hans could have explored the topic of firearms skills in Revisiting High-Tech, but he was very short on time. 2. That would steal some thunder from Pyramid #3/65: Alternate GURPS III, which was uploaded only a few months ago. We asked everybody contributing to Pyramid #3/70 to limit revisiting to supplements with "GURPS" on the front, to avoid cannibalizing the 'zine.

(Oh, "Matt's writing sucked me in". OK, then.) But, yeah, good review. Detailing the criteria provides utility for the reader who doesn't share the same priorities. 8/10.

Re: Pyramid #3/70: Fourth Edition Festival
Had some interesting parts, well written for what they were, but parts were recap on existing GURPS supplements, and others just weren't niches I play in GURPS.
Wasn't personally applicable overall. |

Re: Pyramid #3/70: Fourth Edition Festival
Personally, I found the issue to be average, which says a lot for the average quality of the 'zine! There was no "hero" article that justified the issue by itself, to me, but all of them were well done.
Little of it will be directly applicable to me though, and that's probably why I didn't rate it higher.
So again, average when it comes to Pyramid. No article is a disappoints, but usually there's at least one article per issue that makes me jump in and recommend it to everyone. |

Re: Pyramid #3/70: Fourth Edition Festival
Yeah, I like that part of the reviews too as each of us have our own tastes and priorities. I think he describes it well enough for anyone to estimate how well they will like it rather then a lot of reviews where you have to rely on how well you know the reviewerrs taste.
