Nature Is Magic!

Arcane forces can be pretty wild . . . and the wilderness can be pretty arcane! This month's Pyramid – the PDF magazine for roleplayers – looks at how the natural and supernatural collide . . . for good and ill. This preternatural publication presents:

  • "The Magic Desert," a sandy site to explore (or escape). Written by GURPS Fantasy-Tech 1: The Edge of Reality author Matt Riggsby, it includes detailed information on this location's landscape, flora, and fauna – including GURPS stats for a half-dozen threats for fantasy heroes to encounter.
  • "Magic of the Shaded Woodlands," a new GURPS magical style for the dark elves of GURPS Banestorm (or any tree-tending terrors). It provides new spells, full GURPS stats for one such practitioner, and more.
  • "Ars Metallica," an expansion of GURPS alchemical ideas from GURPS Thaumatology: Chinese Elemental Powers author William H. Stoddard. Tap the potential of mercury, tin, lead, and other metals, with 40 new effects.
  • "Dark of the Woods," this month's Eidetic Memory offering from GURPS Banestorm: Abydos author David L. Pulver. This systemless adventure outline has the heroes involved in the intrigues of a wealthy merchant's daughter and a nature-worshipping cult.
  • "Green Power," a collection of 14 forest-themed abilities using the GURPS Powers framework, from Locations: St. George's Cathedral author Michele Armellini.
  • "Designer's Notes: Wilderness Adventures," Sean Punch's behind-the-scenes look at GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 16: Wilderness Adventures. This feature describes new Dungeon Fantasy lenses for the elemental druid, high druid, and life-force wizard, plus lots of other breathtaking bits.

This month's Pyramid also offers a Random Thought Table that looks at how to ramp up the power of nature-minded mages, plus an Odds and Ends that reveals ways for keeping them under control. The natural world can be a magical place, and with this issue of Pyramid, you'll see the forest for the trees like never before!
