The big powers of the setting haven't had time to adapt yet, so the setting description works pretty much as-is, but the player characters are involved in the booming business of collecting banestormed-in piles of treasure from ruins and caves.

Honestly, that's one reason I keep thinking of Banestorm as being appropriate for a Dungeon Fantasy game, because you can always justify stirring the Fantasy Kitchen Sink pot with a new rush of Banestorms bringing in all sorts of new stuff.
Edit: The other great Fantasy Kitchen Sink setting I used to consider for Dungeon Fantasy was
The Wellsprings of Creation, by Matt Rigsby, which was basically a big meta-setting that fitted in
every Fantasy-related GURPS article ever written in Pyramid Online at that point, tied in to a world concept of "things constantly being created out of nothing" that excused the Kitchen Sink.
