No. Stuff from Dungeon Fantasy Magic Items should definitely be included.
I'm thinking I want to discuss with SJG, and if they're amenable, I'd add a toggle to optionally add in items from GURPS books they approve of (things from the DF line are obvious places to start as they're cross-promoted to DFRPG players, but I'd love to include things from GURPS Fantasy Tech 2 if they don't mind).

I'm wondering if I should weight "boring" items to having more shinyness applied to them than otherwise expected. I have to be careful that it doesn't get too Dwarf Fortress in there though.

A man after my own heart.

Something I'm particularly giggling about is that C# comes with a giant list of colour names. So not only can I have a great big list without any effort, but my web-page can provide a little colour swatch to show what colour something is enameled with :)
