Pyramid magazine 1 + revived GURPS 4E Essentials – through Mon 28 July

Through Monday, July 28 we present the new Pyramid Bundle 1, the first of two offers (the second arrives Wednesday!) featuring Volume 3 (Nov 2008 – Dec 2018) of Pyramid, the Steve Jackson Games magazine for roleplaying gamers, especially for those who play GURPS, SJG’s Generic Universal Roleplaying System. And in case you’re new to GURPS, we’ve also revived (for a second time!) our June 2022 GURPS 4E Essentials Bundle.

Pyramid magazine 1 [new]

The first and second volumes of Pyramid received ten Origins Award nominations for Best Professional Game Magazine (in 1993 and in 1995 through 2003). Pyramid won Origins Awards for Best Professional Game Magazine of 2000, Gamers Choice: Electronic Product for 2003, and Best Nonfiction Publication of 2004. The third volume of Pyramid, featured in this offer, ran for more than 10 years, from November 2008 to December 2018. This new Pyramid Bundle 1 gathers the first 60 issues (Nov 2008 – Oct 2013) of V3’s 122-issue run. (Stay tuned for our second offer this Wednesday!)

Each issue of Pyramid magazine focuses on a specific theme, like fantasy world-building or epic magic – the whole range of prehistory, historical and modern exploration, steampunk, cyberpunk, aliens and spaceships – martial arts, action adventures, and gunplay – weird science, urban fantasy, psionics and thaumatology – and it wouldn’t be a Steve Jackson Games magazine (fnord) without a roster of conspiracies. Each issue is about 39-40 pages, so the 60 issues in this offer bring you nearly 2,400 pages of varied gaming articles for an unbeatable bargain price. On DriveThruRPG, Steve Jackson Games has posted a free 282-page compilation previewing the covers and contents of all 60 Pyramid issues in this offer. Most of Pyramid‘s articles are either generic, suitable for your game system of choice, or designed for GURPS.

Pay just US$49.95 to get all sixty-two titles in our Pyramid V3 – First Collection (retail value $556) as DRM-free .PDF ebooks. See the bottom of this post for the complete list of Pyramid issues in this offer – the first 60 issues of Volume 3 (Nov 2008 – Oct 2013), with links to their sales pages on DriveThruRPG. We also include SJG’s two collections of star designer Kenneth Hite‘s acclaimed Pyramid column of history, alt-history, occult conspiracy, fringe pseudoscience, and High Weirdness, Suppressed Transmission (both previously in our November 2020 Worldbuilder’s Toolkit 7).

GURPS 4E Essentials [from June 2022]

Many Pyramid V3 articles support GURPS Fourth Edition, so we’ve brought back our June 2022 GURPS 4E Essentials Bundle with the core rulebooks and key supplements. With GURPS you can be anyone you want: an elf fighting for the forces of good, a spy on a deep-cover mission, a futuristic swashbuckler carving up foes with a force sword, or literally anything else. For more than three decades GURPS has been supported with hundreds of supplements and sourcebooks. This revived June 2022 offer once again gives you .PDF ebooks of all the important rules and supplements you need to get started with the Fourth Edition (2004) of one of the longest-lasting and best-supported universal systems in the hobby.

Pay just US$19.95 to get all six titles in this revived offer’s 4E Core Collection (retail value $95) as DRM-free .PDF ebooks, including the complete two-volume GURPS 4E Basic Set — Characters and Campaigns — plus Template Toolkit 1 – Characters, Adaptations, How to Be a GURPS GM, and the GURPS 4E GM’s Screen. (And, oh yeah, the free GURPS 4E Lite.)

And if you pay more than this revival’s threshold (average) price, which is set at $39.95 to start, you’ll also get this offer’s entire 4E Essentials Bonus Collection with five more key supplements worth an additional $109, including High-Tech (and its High-Tech Weapon Tables); Ultra-Tech (and its Ultra-Tech Weapon Tables); Bio-Tech; Low-Tech; and Mass Combat.
