Yes, I agree with your point.

Lest my thoughts on its publication be misunderstood, I should mention that "Dungeon Fantasy: Adventurers" is completely awesome =-)

Of course.

Perhaps there is "a bit too joking" about munchkinism at the start of this book.

As one of the forms of adventure, ocassional dungeon delving doesn't need to be silly or munchkin if there are enough background, suspense, and interesting characters.

Indeed I'm going to use the help of this resource along with Fantasy (and others) for serious campaigns.

Anyway I'm impatient for volume II: Dungeon Fantasy: Dungeons.

Yes. I have the second volume open right now. In fact, I'll probably take it home and finish reading it tonight.

(I hope to get a chance to write a PDF in the series. Either hazards or treasures.)

This work -volume I- came today as a surprise.

But now would be appreciated an estimated e23 release date for Dungeon Fantasy: Dungeons! ;)

My guess -- and it's only a guess right now -- would be January.

But we already have the book for more serious fantasy adventures: Fantasy. It seems to me that Dungeons specifically tackles the sort of genre that you see in Diablo, D&D, Hackmaster and its ilk, and in those games, it's more about your character's combat capability and a game of resource management than it necessarily is about the drama of your adventures.

I think it hits just the right notes.

Yes, this is a sort of the in some fashion long awaited "GURPS D&D". Maybe you are right and I'm too nitpicky ;-)

My mild-concern is about the possibility of a too trivial treatment about this material/"genre", perhaps resulting in viewing it as per definition non-compatible with other rpg gaming focuses (for instance, complex plots involving a challenging dungeon delving) and with other "serious" sourcebooks.

I think resources as this and the following can be well used to enhance the gameplay of the Places of Mystery, Egypt (etc)... settings, if dungeons are involved as part of the adventure.

This is so incredibly awesome. I've been overusing the word awesome lately, but this is it.

I think I'm going to implode while waiting for the next one.

Hmm...
Shouldn't the price for Fortify +1 be 1000$
and for Lighten -25% 2000$?

Edit: Love the new Weapon/Armour customization...
