Pyramid #3/08: Cliffhangers

In this issue of Pyramid – the PDF magazine for roleplayers – our theme is "Cliffhangers"! Travel back in time to the 1930s with 45 action-packed pages of pulse-pounding gaming goodness! In this issue: Dust off your dossier with help from chisel-chinned GURPS mastermind Sean Punch's "Pulp Action"! Use the rules of GURPS Action in a cliffhanger campaign with these new and modified templates, lenses, and rules. After all, what are the pulps without Action? Travel with gallivanting globetrotter Matt Riggsby (GURPS Renaissance Florence) as he presents a full GURPS adventure! This two-fisted tale will face heroes off against a maddening mystery: Who – or what – are the "Air Devils of the South Seas"? Prowl with prolific Pyramid penman J. Edward Tremlett, as he presents a generic adventure outline that will take explorers around the world to face a potentially life-ending threat. Where angels fear to tread, heroes rush "Into the Temple of the Hungry Star"! Keep tabs on your adventurers and their exploits with the "Cliffhanger Country Checklist"! In addition, Pyramid serves up more goodies that make a magazine fun – including Odds and Ends, Murphy's Rules with Greg Hyland, reviews and recommendations that fit the theme, and a "Last Word," where we ask an industry luminary to pick a word or phrase related to the issue's theme. This month, Leonard Balsera – coauthor of the critically acclaimed Spirit of the Century – gives us the last word on cliffhangers!
