What This Is: A standalone roleplaying game,
Powered by GURPS – a game created using
GURPS as a toolkit. To create it, I had to rewrite big chunks of the
GURPS Basic Set,
GURPS Dungeon Fantasy (mostly the first three volumes), and – have no fear –
GURPS Magic. I also had to write more original material than I realized back in January . . . Whether you're a
GURPS fan, a player of other RPGs, or a total newbie to gaming, there's something in the box for you.
What This Is Not: An "update" or a "repackaging" of anything. This is not "all the
GURPS Dungeon Fantasy supplements and related
Pyramid issues in one place for existing
GURPS fans." That would intimidate the living crud out of newbies, who we hope will buy the game! In fact, you don't have to know what a "gurps" is to use this. (Depending on how many house rules you use, you might even be better off if you don't!)
More on this in upcoming weeks . . . I'm still writing the
Designer's Notes articles.
