I don't see TFT causing any issues. The two games can easily co-exist, each game appeals to a different sort of gamer..

GURPS is a tool box for building multi genre campaigns, it is versatile and complex, even in its simplest form it has a lot of moving parts. GURPS appeals to hard core gamers who want it all and don't mind putting in the work to get it. All of this is true of Dungeon Fantasy as well.

TFT is not much more than a board game with some RPG elements. It is heavily grounded in fantasy, it is simple and leaves most of the depth to the players imagination. This appeals to the casual gamers who do not want to spend a week building their character trying to squash everything in, they just want simple and fast.
