Request for testers, linters, and critique on DF data files

Dammann · 07-23-2013, 04:13 AM

I am working to fill out the rest of the Dungeon Fantasy catalog as data files for GCA.

This is a list of the data files and links to download them from GCA Repository. Items that are not linked are planned or underway, but incomplete.
Dungeon Fantasy 8
Dungeon Fantasy 11 - Power-Ups
Dungeon Fantasy 13 - Loadouts
Dungeon Fantasy 14 - Psi
Dungeon Fantasy Adventure 1 Mirror of the Fire Demon
Dungeon Fantasy Monsters
Pyramid 3/36
Monster Slavers from Pyramid 3/47
Pyramid 3/50
Pyramid 3/60

Components from individual articles in Pyramid 3/60:
Beast Master from Pyramid 3/60
Wizardry Redefined Spells and Wizard Template Pyramid 3/60
Mystic Power-Ups, also from Pyramid 3/60

Swords Against Evil from Pyramid 3/64
DF Alchemist Template based on the article on RPK's website at this location.
GURPS Thaumatology Magical Styles

I would like anyone with the inclination to test these and help me discover whether I have implemented them correctly and faithfully.

I'll be posting up DF 13 next, followed by DF 14. I haven't even started on DFA 1 or DFM 1, and if someone else has already begun work on those (or anything, really) I am down to collaborate/ compare notes/ combine the best of our different files.

Dammann · 07-23-2013, 04:21 AM

I might do DF 6 and DF 8, too, just so that the loot is easily applied in GCA to characters, but I haven't decided. I am eager to see what Kromm's 50 page-ish new DF item is going to turn out to be, and if GCA 5 comes out as I catch up, I may go try some alternative approaches to implementing stuff from DF 11 and DF15 . Or I might burn out before that, who knows.

DF8 is going to be challenging to complete if you're doing this by plain old typing. I mean, if you feel enthused, go ahead, but I should probably get off my ass and give it the perl treatment I gave the general hightech gear.

If I haven't started doing that already... I have this weird feeling I did and I've forgotten where I put it.

Dammann · 07-23-2013, 11:43 PM

Yeah, DF 8 is a BEAR. I keep finding myself wanting it, though. It is full of cool items of equipment as well as modifiers for that equipment. So far, I have resisted the urge...

Well, there are other supplements that will give clear benefit with less work, for now.

Dammann · 07-23-2013, 11:45 PM

I don't feel like I am "the guy to do this," I just feel like it should get done. I feel zero possessiveness regarding any of these data files, and I'd be delighted if someone else got there first.

Dammann · 07-24-2013, 10:10 PM

... and DF 13 - Loadouts is up. I want to do more stuff with it (particularly a selectX for Size Modifier, or perhaps a way to automate that step), but all the Loadouts are here, and almost all the equipment.

I popped up a draft of DF 8. It's not complete, and the weapons and armor already in there don't have stats beyond weight and cost. But it DOES already have a whole lotta stuff.

Dammann · 07-26-2013, 10:11 PM

Cool. I linked to the file on GCA Repository.

Dammann · 07-26-2013, 10:13 PM

Looking at what you have done already, I am really glad to have this. I have seen my last #newitem(Hat, Wide...), I hope!
