Re: Public Announcement
I'm very sorry to see the magazine go.
In addition to its plethora of great content, it was something I could show to the folks who thought GURPS was dying. It was a great illustration of how seriously SJ Games takes the GURPS product line, because a magazine dedicated to a single RPG is (and always has been) such an uncommon thing. I understand the decision, but it still makes me sad.

Re: Public Announcement
I did not buy every issue but it still saddens me to see Pyramid go.
On the other hand if it means more GURPS supplements I will be happy. But a lot of niche ideas that fit in Pyramid might not have seen the light of day otherwise and that could be a loss in the future. Also new writers will find it harder to break in.

Re: Public Announcement
While I feel bad about it going, from my personal perspective I'm not surprised: when I find myself want only an article or two in an issue it's just not a great sell to me. Focused supplements are more likely to hook me.

Re: Public Announcement
Very sad.
I am not surprised; I half (or more?) expected this after Phil's "downsizing" post a week or a few ago. But very sad. |

I honestly don't know if Pyramid was a money sink for sjgames; if so, it was probably the best business decision that could be made. I really hope this will hrrald a new era of more tgan 4-ish supplements per year.

Re: Public Announcement
This makes me sadder than I expected to feel. If it hadn't been for Pyramid, I never would've had my 15 femtoseconds in the game industry. I do hope you still have a place at SJ Games, Mr. Marsh.

Re: Public Announcement
While not every article or issue interested me more than a few ended up suprising me. I just hope there will be some alternative route for those style of articles in the future.

Re: Public Announcement
I'm also really going to miss the Random Though Table articles. Even on issues that weren't directly relevant to my games and / or interests, there was always something in those to make me take a different look at the theme of the issue, and there were often direct take-aways from them.
