In Pyramid #3/82: Magical Creations I wrote “The Hunter’s Reliquary” which gave Monster Hunters champions a new tool in their arsenal: relics. I didn’t have enough space for all relics, so here’s one of the leftovers… …if you’d like to read more, consider becoming a patron! Note: the link to the actual content for patrons is here.

The Hurt Locker: Outrigger Fantasy Airship
Whether it’s Dungeon Fantasy or a typical fantasy campaign, having access to an a means of getting from one place to another is almost required. Usually this would take the form of pack animals, wagons, or traditionally ocean- or river-going sailing vessels. But for some settings, such pedestrian means of conveyance simply will not do. Sometimes you […]
Continue readingThe Hurt Locker: Iron Rations – A Compleat Guide to Victualing in Ye Olde Dungeon, Part II
Guest Post by S. A. Fisher Continuing my post from before, I have some more goodies for the inquiring delver! Staples More seasoned adventurers will skip the expense and novelty of the iron rations and so forth and simply buy food in bulk. Adventurers can certainly get by on iron ration levels of food for […]

Guest Post by S. A. FisherFor many dungeon delvers, the goal is simple: kick in the door, fight the monster, and loot the room. Rinse and repeat. For them, a week’s worth of “iron rations” and a water skin is more than enough detail to account for how they survive on their adventures outside of […]

I know, you’re reading this and thinking “What and the hell has Christopher come up with this time?” Honestly, I don’t know, man. Something happened. Then something else and now I’m here staring at this crazy thing. This bit of gear is the result of a story one of my players (+Travis Ellis) wrote about his […]

Pyramid #3/61: Way of the Warrior went a long way toward making two-weapon masters more effective, but how to make them truly terrifying? Well, I got a few ideas.,, …if you’d like to read more, consider becoming a patron! […]

So recently someone posted about the “goo guns” from the Incredibles on the forums. Since that is one of my favorite superhero flicks of all time I decided to poke at the idea of building a “goo gun” using metatronic generators. New Binding ModifiersFirst, some new modifiers for Binding (p. B40): Cosmic, Enhanced Layering: This Cosmic […]
Continue readingThe Hurt Locker: Building an Ambush Point
GURPS After the End 2: The New World has some interesting (simplified) rules for sniper fire. This got me to thinking: How could I create a quick rule set for creating an ambush point/Sniper’s nest? PK’s wonderful little check lists (as I like to call them) such as the Hunting rules (The New World, p. 30). […]

I’ve been kind of chewing on this one for a while – it originally came up in a Dungeon Fantasy game I was in and I came up with an imbuement to make it work (which is fine), but I got to thinking: How does Climbing Line work? Sure, I could just say “It works!” but […]
Continue readingThe Hurt Locker: The Dragonslayer from Berserk
I started watching the new Berserk Golden Age Arc trilogy of movies in anticipation of seeing the new series and I got to wondering what would such a thing look like in GURPS terms? Berserk is an excellent mana and the anime is quite good, but it’s the blackest of dark fantasy and I don’t recommend […]
