Apropos of Nothing: How I feel about DST
I know this is random, and I owe you the final two reviews on the last Pyramid issue (sorry to +Christopher R. Rice and +Steven Marsh ). But this is too good to pass up

I love the Size and Speed/Range Table in GURPS. EABA has one too. I think both games get things right and wrong here, and since I have an idle moment, I want to say why. What’s Right? Where do these kinds of charts succeed? While there’s lots of small things, here are the big ones…
I’ve got another article in this month’s Pyramid magazine. Called “Dodge This,” it was the result of a long series of discussions between me and +Peter V.
