Pyramid #3/113: Dungeon Fantasies

Kromm · 03-23-2018, 03:49 PM

Knowledge and courage
Versus monsters, tricks, and traps
A timeless contest
— Uncle Seamus, Wizard

The dungeon-crawling genre is all about more. The heroes quest for more power and more treasure, while the forces that oppose them – embodied by the GM – are always on the lookout for more monsters and more traps. Like any good fantasy merchant, Pyramid #3/113: Dungeon Fantasies arms both sides, and does so in two realms: GURPS Dungeon Fantasy and the Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game.

More professions!
▶ Five Easy Pieces, by Sean Punch, looks at the Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game through the sights of GURPS Action 4: Specialists, showing how to create custom professions when you don't feel like going freeform, never mind "full GURPS."

More plusses!
▶ Simple Spell Components, by Peter V. Dell'Orto, shows that spellcasters can be bigger materialists than the most arms-and-armor-obsessed warrior with this simple-but-flavorful system for turning strange ingredients into magical bonuses.

More monsters and treasures!
▶ Eidetic Memory: Monsters as Treasures, by David Pulver, describes seven new monsters that aren't just combat challenges but also treasures in their own right.

Even more monsters!
▶ All Wet, by Charles Saeger, introduces another 10 monsters, these ones designed to make aquatic adventures a whole lot more challenging.

More traps!
▶ Designer's Notes: Dungeon Fantasy Traps, by Christopher R. Rice with Jason "PK" Levine, talks about the creation of, well, Dungeon Fantasy Traps. It also shares five new traps, a further monster, and a new spell.

More Pyramid!
▶ And Steven Marsh bookends it all with In This Issue and From the Editor at one end, and a Random Thought Table about climactic battles and an Odds and Ends about interesting ones at the other.
