• "Codex Duello," a guide to how to conduct and resolve duels among mages, from master Pyramid penman Christopher R. Rice. Resolve disputes or simply fight to the death, whether you're using GURPS Magic, GURPS Thaumatology: Ritual Path Magic, GURPS Thaumatology: Sorcery, or even GURPS Psionic Powers!

This issue also provides a Random Thought Table with a new kind of magic that turns fame on its head, plus another vignette from Matt Riggsby set in the new Car Wars universe that peeks into the garages of the future.
