10 Best Issues of Pyramid?

Anaraxes · 06-24-2020, 08:16 AM

Inspired by a comment in the GURPS PDF Kickstarter thread, I thought I'd ask the forum. I'm not really familiar with Pyramid, other than the comments that periodically appear in the forum.

There are of course many meanings for "best". So purposes of this thread, I mean those issues or articles that had the most continuing impact on your gaming. That might be a rules subsystem (like KYOS), or a more detailed layer for some topic (like The Deadly Spring, or Action Points), a new way of approaching the game (Impulse Buys for more narrative/meta control, maybe something in those Alternate GURPS issues), or a concept or setting that was inspirational or influential beyond "hey, let's run a game there", but having continuing echoes through your later games as well.

If you wanted to buy some Pyramids (for example, to fill out your KS pledge when you've already got all the regular PDFs), what would be your list of the "must have" issues and why?
