Re: First Impressions
As I commented there, I wanted to know where this assumed familiarity with GURPS was.

Edit: to make an aside and get this back to DF, the default DF templates map well to the default D&D classes in 3e and 5e. The only real differences are that the D&D Fighter is split into Knight and Swashbuckler in DF, while the D&D Wizard/Sorcerer (and Warlock, once you get midway through the 3e era, and has been core since 4e) split is meaningless in DF (it’s a matter of one class using Vancian magic and the other not). I consider this mapping to be a Good Thing, since it increases familiarity for D&D players. Last edited by Rasputin; 10-11-2017 at 08:45 PM. Reason: Trying to get on topic |

Re: First Impressions
I've got a young (ten-ish) nephew who, I learned some months ago, had started playing D&D. We can do better than that, I thought, and I sent him my second copies of the DFRPG box and GM's screen. His first impression was apparently great enthusiasm. He's been reading the books non-stop when he comes home from school and is planning a first campaign. So, may have created a new GURPS player.
