New Pyramid
So no thread started by the powers that be yet. Anyone buy it and have a review yet?
Sadly money to tight for me at the moment. |

Re: New Pyramid
Not exactly true. The good Dr. Kromm has yet to start a thread in the GURPS forum, granted, but he usually doesn't do that until later in the evening (at soonest) or on Friday (more often).

Re: New Pyramid
I don't really know what to say about it for a review. The broad strokes are in the e23 page of course. I've only just read through it and only have a few things to add.
There's very little crunch in this edition. It is not going to be a must buy for rulebits. I really like the look of the opening article on history-building, with dice-driven event generator. I'd like to use that if I can figure out how to twist it to my purposes. The articles include general world-construction thoughts (mostly The Turning Points of History, though also the Random Thought Table), possible high-level world elements (The Duodecennial Deviations, Spirits in Everyday Life), pre-assembled setting elements (Shadowland Runners, The Gnomish Mafia, The Children of the Coming Darkness), and sort of odd article out In the Jungle about canopy forests as adventure locations with a DF-ish bent.
