Re: Pyramid articles you want to see
Not that I expect anything, but I'd love to see a little Transhuman Space support in a Pyramid magazine next year. I liked an earlier poster's suggestion of memetic campaigns for elections, etc; it might also be fun to pick a thematic topic (memetics, bioroids, a political faction) and then spin out some ideas for characters, plots, and so on.

Re: Pyramid articles you want to see
An article on long-term stress, going in the opposite direction from the Last Gasp. I though of this after watching the new Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy adaptation, and seeing the recent thread about fatigue for social interactions. The long-term fatigue rules from After the End might be a start. This could be very useful as a pacing mechanism for political games, espionage, hospital dramas, gritty war stories, etc.; build up enough mental fatigue and you start blowing self-control rolls and suffering skill penalties, until you take some time off to de-stress.

Re: Pyramid articles you want to see
These are really good, and I can't believe I didn't think about them when puzzling out what Pyramid articles I would want to see most! I'd love to see some more of these on some of the advantages Ghostdancer has touched on at his blog (Healing, Illusion, Leech, etc.) get expanded into full articles as well.

A collection of descriptions of real world places and phenomena that inspire mysticism
e.g. Catatumbo lightning, Auroras, St. Elmo's Fire &c.

Re: Pyramid articles you want to see
You could get the entire 3e pdf of Places of Mystery for the price of a Pyramid.
