Continue readingDesigner’s Notes: Native American Crusaders
Native American Crusaders was a topic I wanted to cover for GURPS Monster Hunters for a long time. I’m of native descent and got to take things I’d been told about in my childhood (the raven mocker being one) and turn that into GURPS statblocks. That’s pretty heavy stuff. I grew up on the stories of my […]
Continue readingDesigner’s Notes: Chevaliers and Commanders
My last article. The last article I would write for Pyramid . . . was not written completely by myself. I co-write it with Hal “Wavefunction” Batty. In actuality, I had written the chevalier as standalone article with lots of mount choices, new gear, and more power-ups that were not in the final draft then I […]
Continue readingMelee Academy: More Psionic Martial Arts I
GURPS Psionic Powers offers a way to create psychic characters using a powers framework. GURPS Martial Arts codifies fighting styles in an easy to use block.

Authorial Highlights GURPS SNO-51 has been fully revised and sits in the “freezer” for now. (The “freezer” is where I put all my “finished” drafts until I do a final triple-check before submission). The Calypso-4 Kickstarter “Five Four Perilous Journeys” did an insane $40,000. Adventure #3 is with Douglas and J. Edward Tremlett is […]

Authorial Highlights I ended up asking for (another) extension for GURPS SNO-51. This was done because I wasn’t entirely sure my editing/revision would be finished in the time I’d been allotted. Currently, my editing mark is at 64%. I still need two more examples for the appendix, but I’ve been saving that for last […]
