Pyramid #3/010: Crime and Grime

ADD TO WISHLIST >

This issue of Pyramid – the PDF magazine for roleplayers – covers "Crime and Grime," and it's criminally full of helpful and fun ideas for a medieval- or fantasy-themed campaign. Whether your adventurers are agents of law and order, actively oppose those agents, or just want to stay out of the way, they're sure to find something they can use. This issue contains:

  • "The Justiciar," a new template for GURPS Dungeon Fantasy, written by GURPS line editor Sean Punch!
  • "On De Medici's Secret Service," about a covert organization that keeps the peace in Florence. Written by GURPS Hot Spots: Renaissance Florence author Matt Riggsby, this article comes with a full-color map of the famous city!
  • "Holy Dirty Money," a description of a widespread type of serious crime commonplace in medieval times that is almost non-existent today.
  • "Dominion," a full campaign that puts the heroes in the role of the king's agents, responsible for upholding law and order. This setting framework can be used by itself or overlaid onto an existing campaign!
  • "Cruel and Unusual," a discussion of 18 punishments that can serve as the springboard for adventure.
  • "Deal the Loot," a card-based method to bridge the gulf between quick-and-dirty robbery or pickpocketing rolls and lengthy roleplaying sessions.

In addition, Pyramid locks up more goodies that make a magazine fun, including odds and ends, Murphy's Rules with Greg Hyland, Steven Marsh's Random Thought Table, reviews and recommendations that fit the theme, and a "Last Word," where we ask an industry notable to pick a word or phrase related to the issue's theme. This month, Simon Washbourne – author of the Medieval Mysteries RPG – gives us the last word on medieval crime and grime.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
