So thrilled to see this news! And I can't wait for the Kickstarter to go live... what fun.

The teaser shows color illustrations? Is this something we might see in the real product?

I'm going back through the Pyramid Vol. 3 run for my Dungeon Fantasy game, and I have to agree. I'm impressed by how well they kept a theme going for each issue.

My vision of a GURPS Pyramid scheme is this: I get recruited to play in, e.g., Christopher's game. When I start running my own games, every fifth player I recruit I send on to Christopher. But what happens when we run out of players?

Two possible solutions:

1) GURPS games don't always last forever, so earlier players who have signed up for older games may become free to join newer games.

2) GURPS gamers, like the rest of humanity, can also reproduce and thus fulfill the evolutionary imperative of creating more GURPS gamers and thus the virtuous cycle is maintained.

I was backing the Kickstarter anyway but the two Phoenix Program articles for Vietnam makes my year, hopefully they will be compatible with the SEALs in Vietnam sourcebook.

Make more. There is a process to make more humans.
