Pyramid Volume Two Index

jalapeno_dude · 03-07-2010, 11:10 PM

Thanks to the miracles of Python scripting, I'm pleased to present an index of the articles in Pyramid Vol. 2. The index is not strictly in chronological order: instead, it's in the order of the article IDs on the pyramid website, which range from 1 to 7072. The articles which are available for free in full are noted.

Please sticky, as this should prove useful for anyone looking for more GURPS support.

EDIT: Apparently posts can only be 10000 characters long? Lame. And no attachment system? Also lame. I've uploaded it here for the moment without any frivolities like, you know, formatting. Anyone who wants to make it prettier is more than welcome to grab my html and do so.

EDIT2: And here is a list of just the free articles--of which there are nearly 850. Now we're down to only 50000 characters in the list, but that's still far too big for a post here...

EDIT3: Finally, here's the list of free articles in the form of a Google spreadsheet, sortable by title, author, and game system. (Thanks to Vaevictis Asmadi for assembling this).

Many thanks. You've turned searching old Pyramid articles from a thankless and often futile task to something a lot simpler.

I've taken jalapeno_dude's webpage list of free Pyramid articles and turned it into a spreadsheet. I've also added a "Game or Feature" column to the spreadsheet, but that only has entries for roughly half the articles so far. (I don't have time to look at the other ~400 articles today. If someone else wants to continue populating the data in that column, feel free...)

Thank you two a bunch for putting this together. It definitely makes the Pyramid archive vastly more accessible (I'm still just happy that any of it still exist at all). This is wonderful and much appreciated!

I'm adding more data and an author column. I'm on url 864 now. I'll find a place to upload it when I'm done, or just when I run out of time/interest, unless somebody else finishes it faster.

You could simply put it on google docs, and then it could be updated by 3rd parties.

A lot of that info is already on the GURPSWiki pages.

I went to the GURPS wiki and searched for Pyramid...all I got was this page:
http://gurps.wikia.com/wiki/Pyramid

No real info...is there another GURPSWiki you are talking about?

If you e-mail it to me when you're finished (use the link in my profile's "Contact Info" tab), I'll put it up in place of the one I have on my website.

Thanks for your offer Rob, but neither the forum PMs nor the forum emails allow attachments. I put it on Google docs.

EDIT: made a few corrections/editions, re-uploaded. I'm not working on it anymore tonight, it's 1:45 am. Really.

I added as much author, game, url redirects, and date info as I could find. The list is now sortable by all columns, and there's a URL # column that takes into account the redirected urls, so you can return to the original order if you want to.

I started a content column, but didn't finish filling it in, and don't really know how to for some of the articles about games I don't know. Anyone else can do so if they like. The column isn't of summaries, just basic terse descriptions: ideas, rules, campaign setting, adventure, magic system, pregen character, character group, creature, race, setting, background fluff, templates, spells, spell college, ritual magic path, martial arts style, character traits, weapons, vehicles, equipment, advice, review, editorial, Q & A, and designer's notes are the main categories.
