Re: Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game Discussion Thread
From the YMMV file: I was thrilled when they decoupled from Amazon Payments, because Amazon decided I was a fell miscreant and froze my account and WOULD NOT reactivate it. To this day, I do not know why. They're happy to take exactly that same card for purchases; it was just the Payments side that was recalcitrant.

This, Discworld and Mars Attacks in the same year? What a time to be alive!

Hmm! It'll definitely be interesting to see how this goes.

Re: Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game Discussion Thread
I've got mixed feelings. Where was this three or four years ago when D&D 4e was floundering? Why fantasy now? It seems to me that superheroes or zombies would be more popular and help it to stand out on the shelves.
Oh well, as a retailer who runs two or three GURPS games a week, I'm stoked to see SJG actually, finally moving forward on GURPS. I might just pledge retailer on this.

Re: Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game Discussion Thread
Judging by the photo on ENworld, those books can't be very thick. Hopefully, the breakdown is something like a templates book, for character generation and advancement, a running-the-game book, a spells book, a monsters book, and, well, something else. So that the different chunks of the game can be passed round a table conveniently.

Re: Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game Discussion Thread
Fantasy RPGs are still the most popular genre of RPGs, so it makes sense that GURPS first foray into 4e standalone products would be not!D&D. I do hope that this rakes in enough cash that SJG will consider doing the same for Monster Hunters and other lines though.
And the timing isn't that off. D&D 5e has been pretty successful at introducing new people to the hobby; additionally, OSR seems to be taking off with both new and established players, which meshes well with DF's classic hack n' slash vibe. This may be the perfect time for GURPS to jump on that bandwagon and ride it as long as they can. |
