Re: Delvers to Grow: Get to the table fast
There’s a good opportunity to discuss both DtG and DFRPG on the EN World thread. There are lots of non-GURPS eyes over there, many of whom are open to trying new games. Most recently in the thread someone has been asking how to scale encounters for lower point value delvers.

Re: Delvers to Grow: Get to the table fast
I have received a few comments about the "four books" method for Delvers to Grow.
While they are still the primary way I shall be delivering the physical content, I have dug into the details and determined I can make a Delvers to Grow Omnibus as a single book to be offered as an add-on. It shall start as:
If things go nuts and we wind up with something like 400 or more orders for the combined book (unlikely but who knows!) and it requires an offset print run rather than the softcover treatment at Mixam, I will upgrade it to hardcover at no extra charge. The Omnibus will not include Crypt of Krysuvik; that adventure is best suited as a separate volume, especially since maps shall appear on the inside cover. The add-on price of the Omnibus is $30 and it will be available to anyone with a pledge of $35 or more. It's a special add-on, not a stretch goal.

The omnibus is a cool idea, thanks for offering it!

an 18 day campaign, I would be shocked if it didn't fund. This is Doug's 11th kickstarter. All the previous ones have funded. The first nine completed delivery and the 10th is almost complete. That 10th one had some non-book deliverables; those are much harder to produce, test and ship than books. Given all of that, I'd say supporting this is a pretty solid bet. |

Re: Delvers to Grow: Get to the table fast
A solid bet, indeed! Fully funded as I write this.
Now we just need to blow up the backer count. It's such a sweet deal already... but if we hit the stretch goals, this thing will be a real tsunami of DFRPG goodies. Character building book for low-point fast characters? Check. Sample characters? Check. "Low-level" adventure? Check! MORE sample characters, including those casters with pesky spell lists, CHECK! Everyone should pledge. And get their spouses, in-laws, and pets to pledge too. So say we all. |

I'm sold. Pets are still on the fence.

Re: Delvers to Grow: Get to the table fast
I’ll back this if you make an adventure that would fit into this GURPS book; GURPS Hot Spots: Sriwijaya.

Re: Delvers to Grow: Get to the table fast
Hot Spots: Sriwijaya is a GURPS product, not DFRPG; GB's license covers "DFRPG in Nordlond", not "GURPS in a real-world setting". There's one adventure included with the kickstarter already (and it's a good one!); adding another this close to the campaign's end date, especially given the time needed for writing, layout, art, etc seems... unlikely.

Re: Delvers to Grow: Get to the table fast
If you read only a SINGLE post for Delvers to Grow, read this one.
This goes through a complete worked example of making an eldhuð ("I'm totally not a tiefling!") swashbuckler in six quick steps using Delvers to Grow for the Dungeon Fantasy RPG. This is the best quick-start recruiting tool for Powered by GURPS published to date. One of my patrons went to his Favorite Local Game store yesterday with an advanced copy. Ran a *pick-up game* using the Boxed Set for one total newcomer to RPGs, two D&D players, and someone from his regular group. All had characters quickly, and the game store employees asked him to come back and run a Dungeon Fantasy RPG game in the store *every week.* Delvers to Grow Worked Example
