GURPS Psionic Powers Designer's Notes in Pyramid #3/9

[PK]

For those of you who are fans of GURPS Psionic Powers, I thought I'd mention that the Designer's Notes can be found in Pyramid #3/9 - Space Opera.

Here's what's in it:

Two pages of extras, cuts, and odds & ends
* An expanded explanation of some of the weirder psi techniques
* An all-new way to build psi techniques (actually, one that was used surreptitiously to build several of the existing ones)
* Alternate rules for Extra Effort
* A cut Biokinesis ability: Control Limb
* A variant perk: Dowsing (Utility)
* A new (complex) limitation: Limited by Margin

Four pages of the Agents of PSION, a psionic space opera campaign setting (with a touch of transhumanism):
* Basic background and history
* Racial templates
* PSION Agency details and character template
* Adjustments to the Psi Amplifiers from GURPS Ultra-Tech*
* Setting-specific details and options for GURPS Spaceships
* Adventure seeds

And this issue of Pyramid is like a two-for-one bonus on psionics, because Tangaroa (the Terra Incognita this month) is a planet dominated by a psionic religious cult! Actually, it's a pretty sweet issue all around -- new martial arts styles, doomsday weapons, and a cool printable scanner (like a tricorder prop) that screams "retro space gaming" at the top of its lungs. :)

(* There's an errata on p. 15, though. The backpack psi amplifier that affects all of the wearer's powers costs $650K, not $65K.)
