Pyramid Review: #3/38: The Power of Myth

Bygamingballistic

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. I wanted to revisit each of these and do an article-by-article review, in the same manner that I reviewed…

Alternate GURPS III – By Default designer’s notes

Bygamingballistic

Bygamingballistic

  1. When told the reason for daylight saving time the old Indian said…
    ‘Only a white man would believe that you could cut a foot off the top of a blanket and sew it to the bottom of a blanket and have a longer blanket.’

  2. Speaking from bright and sunny Arizona, what is this “Daylight Savings Time” you speak of? 😀

    We've got plenty of daylight, we see no need to save any.
