It's a late GURPSDay, but still a GURPSDay. Today is a short post on my one of my articles that was published in Pyramid.

Designer's Notes: The Fifth Attribute | Ravens N' Pennies

The Fifth Attribute began life in my campaign "The Awakening" in mid-2014. I wanted a way to tie in all the supernatural powers of that campaign setting along with a few campaign features to make a working cohesive framework. It took me the better part of a month to write it and I began with ...

Many of the major outtakes were published in Pyramid: Familiars became "A Familiar Path", much of Incantation Magic is the deeper cuts of Effect-Shaping RPM, The Fifth Attribute IS "Based on a Static Attribute" RPM, and so on. The *other* stuff is likely to end up here at some point. Like Tree Magic as RPM or Shamanic Magic as RPM.

I've been contemplating putting together a PDF of all the RPM traditions I've put out so far and offering it up here. Still thinking about it. Not sure yet.
