And here is the DRAFT description for the game. Any comments on it are welcome.
-Dan

Game System & Edition:
GURPS 4th Edition, with GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Series
Game Title:
Dungeons of the Shadow Rifts
Running Time:
4 hours
Number of Players:
Minimum 4, Maximum 8
Brief teaser to be posted online & with sign up sheets:
The Shadow Rifts are a vast series of connected underground complexes, i.e., Dungeons, that are portals into the mythic underworld, a nightmarish world of magic, evil, and elements that can devour your PC's sanity. The entrances into the Dungeons of the Shadow Rifts (DotSRs), closed for a decade, have been reopened by a recent earthquake.
The DotSRs are weird, unfathomable, and deadly places. Within you will find ferocious monsters, lethal traps, cunning tricks and buried secrets, tortuous layouts and forgotten ways, baffling riddles, and best of all, fabulous treasure beyond imagining.
You are part of a company of adventures who delve into dungeons to defeat monsters and gain treasures. You have learned of a lord’s son who was captured by creatures in the DotSRs, and are entering to look for him.
Special instructions or comments for players:
This is a Super-Mega Dungeon setting in a fantasy realm similar to Greyhawk, Forgotten Realms, or Golarion. This will be rules lite, friendly for people who haven’t played GURPS before. Just bring a pencil and 3 (or more) six sided dice.
