Yup. Same for me. And I don't even have any immediate need for it!

It's somewhat clunky, frankly. Plus there is so much in the core books that don't apply to the setting that it may be confusing as well...

You probably had to buy GURPS Magic as well. You could almost get by with GURPS Lite, but Magic was necessary for about 1/3 of the classes. (A hypothetical GURPS Magic Lite might have made sense I suppose, and we might be getting that)

This will be my own strategy as well, so I'm glad that I'm in good company.

There's an issue there: some of the armors in the Basic Set got heavier in Low-Tech (basically, the non-metal armors). Even more problematic is that armor got more costly in Low-Tech, which leads to either using three sets of numbers or accepting that starting characters will be weaker.

And not for another hourish. We need some key staff at their computers before we push "launch" and make this live.

Because that's when the screaming starts.

I just noticed all this about a DF boxed set, and it looks promising.
