Today Gets Magical

I seem to have established a pattern of having one GURPS supplement appear per year (though I don't have anything lined up for 2027 yet), and this year's is GURPS Magical Styles: Modern Magic. This is something of a follow-up to last year's Traditional Styles, being a collection of spell-based magical styles that owe more to modernity in various forms than to old-school concepts of magic.

Specifically, you get magical librarians, demagogues, punks, rock'n'rollers, and trenchcoat wearers. I suspect that most gamers will be geeky enough to identify my inspirations. It was another interesting exercise in showing how GURPS rules can be fine-tuned for flavour - well, interesting for me. I hope that others agree.

Trading on Trad

 

I seem to get a GURPS supplement out approximately once a year these days, and 2025's has just come around. GURPS Magical Styles: Traditional Styles is 22 pages of "how to use the standard GURPS spell-based magic system to represent traditional conceptions of magic". Well, five such more-or-less traditional conceptions that I found interesting, anyway. (Bodily, Dream, Spoken Word, Theurgic, and Mystical Assassin magic, specifically.) Available now from Warehouse 23, for a mere $7.
