Default Pyramid Sale and recommended issues

There's still a couple of days left in W23's special sale on Pyramid pdfs. Buy $20worth and get 50% off.

https://warehouse23.com/#_ga=2.25097...836.1524095475

I've about finished my collection of Pyramids but I'm open to suggestions. Particularly for non-obvious items of unusual value.

My own suggestions would start with some basics like 3/37. With David Pulver's "Laser and Blaster design rules" and the expanded selection of TL9 weapons it's one of my most often re-read issues.

Other things to look for are any time David adds new spells to the system or when Hans covers vehicles or weapons.

Feeel free to add your own favorite issues!

My own favourites are (mostly) vehicle related:

Pyramid 3/34: Alternate GURPS (for Alternate Spaceships)

Pyramid 3/40: Vehicles (for Mecha Operations)

Pyramid 3/44: Alternate GURPS II (for Tactical Mass Combat)

Pyramid 3/51: Tech and Toys III (for the Modular Mecha article)

Pyramid 3/115: Technomancer (for the Technomancer "update" to 4e)

Pyramid 3/120: Alternate GURPS V (for the Describing Vehicles article)

Pyramid 3/4, 3/10, 3/13, and 3/60 have additions to the GURPS Dungeon Fantasy series.

Pyramid 3/53 adds some horseback riding to the GURPS Action series.

Pyramid 3/64 adds ships and airships to GURPS Spaceships.

Pyramid 3/30 adds rules for calculating Mass Combat statistics from Spaceships, allowing the use of Spaceships in the GURPS Mass Combat rules. It also has some other goodies for the Spaceships series.

Both Pyramid: Dungeon Fantasy Collected and Pyramid Dungeon Collection appear to be part of the sale and are supersized collections of Pyramid articles. The Pyramid Dungeon Collection in particular contains a rewrite of one of my favorite articles from the Pyramid 2 days, The Wellsprings of Creation.

Also the Pyramid Archive of the 30 print issues seems to be part of the sale as well. Pure nostalgia there.

If you have the $$$, the Pyramid vol 3 collection for $500 is a bargain, that at 50% off for $250 is an automatic purchase for me, had I not bought them all for full price already over it's run.

Just over $2 per issue!

Oh, hey, I didn't know there was a sale going on; going to have to see if I can remember the articles I was eyeballing before and pick them up (which I guess also means I'll need to get around to making my new account and praying to FNORD that things transfer properly). I think my own favorites so far are the Alternate GURPS issues (3/34, 3/44, 3/65, 3/83, 3/120); I also rather like the armor design system that shows up in 3/52, 3/85, and 3/96. Oh, and "Metatronic Generators" from 3/46 is also really good (and apparently expanded in 4/3, but I don't have any of Pyramid 4... yet).

One of my favorite issues is #3/68 Natural Magic. Riggsby's "The Magic Desert" is a fun read (and I've used elements from it in multiple campaigns).

ANd I bought 8 issues I have been missing. My collection is not quite complete but the remaining missing issues are only a handful that I dont have much interest in.
