Worldbuilding: The Kim in the North
I swear that this blog will never digress into any sort of political stuff that doesn’t directly involve gaming. That’s not what it’s for.

Due to copious lack of time, I’m not going to do a strict review with one post per article, like I prefer to do. I am, however, going to hit each one with my usual method: rating in three categories that boil down to quality writing, quality ideas, and drop-in utility with minimal prep. Destination…
When I took a look at the most and least seemingly popular/favorable Pyramid issues since the magazine’s third incarnation, a few issues on the bottom were very poor sellers, but really gave no indication of why.

You just give me a holler when you get ready to run your Fantasy Expendables campaign. I'll rearrange schedules to play that game.
Oh yes! I enjoy a GURPS black ops game. Or fantasy. Me=making time for that.
