Other Online Resources

Even if you aren’t gaming online, there are lots – no,
lots – make that LOTS – of great places to find support
for your tabletop GURPS game. Here are a few:
Pyramid. Our online magazine is not a “house
organ” – it covers games from across the industry – but
it does have a lot of GURPS content, with more added
just about every week. The archives of the print issues
of Pyramid
(and its GURPS-only predecessor,
Roleplayer) have many articles which have never been
adapted in later GURPS publications. With an online
chat zone (including gaming areas), message boards,
and new content every week, Pyramid is a steal.
e23. Our new e-publishing venture has both out-of-
print and brand new adventures and source material. It
is also growing all the time, so check back frequently to
see what new items we’ve added!
Our website. The SJ Games web page is loaded with
extra content (and, eek, errata fixes) for almost every
GURPS book ever published. It also includes down-
loadable software to help you run games in person
or online. Our webforums cover everything we do,
including, of course, GURPS, and are a great place to
ask questions.

As of this writing there is nothing at that page but an
announcement of a canceled project, but if something
new happens, that’s where it’ll be.
The GM should keep this roll secret
from the players. They don’t know, for
instance, whether that friendly-look-
ing old farmer is giving them straight
advice or sending them into a trap.
A reaction roll is not a success roll.
There are three important differences:
1. There is no “target number” to
roll against.
2. A high roll is good, not bad.
