Action (and DF) flavor in this month's Pyramid...

[PK]

Doing my part for the "I didn't look closely at this months' Pyramid because the theme didn't grab me" crowd:

Heads up for the Action fans out there -- the latest issue of Pyramid has a 9-page article (practically a mini-supplement) about netrunning in Action that is 100% compatible with "movie-style" hacking. The article assumes a jump into TL9 and cyberdecks, but the rules expressly work just as well for hacking on TL8 mainframes and laptops (you just need some really expensive gear). GURPS Swordfish, here we come -- minus the gratuitous topless Halle Berry, of course.

And DF fans may want to know that Matt Riggsby's taken his DF8: Treasure Tables approach to a randomized mall/bazaar layout. What's in that store crammed into the back corner? *clatter*

(And hey, if anyone hates the cinematic over-the-topness of Action, this issue also has a whole article on rules to make certain advantages in GURPS far more realistic. Y'know, if you ever felt like Luck was silly, or like Empathy was unbelievable. So this covers a pretty broad spectrum.)
