Yes, and sadly, Ken Hite has been ruled out.

Beth McCoy ought to update GIN at some point.

The clues so far clearly point toward either GURPS Dungeon Crawl or something completely out of nowhere.

I think it is probably the former, but I kind of hope I'm wrong, because a pdf/pod release means this product can't do one of the greatest things it could have done with a proper FLGS release - introduce hordes of disillusioned "Other Game"rs to GURPS with the genre they know and love.

If it is Dungeon Crawl, I seriously hope they'll eventually do a normal print run that can be distributed to FLGS so it'll be seen by people that aren't already buying every GURPS book as soon as possible.

I think (too) it can be something related to Dungeon Crawl, perhaps as a specific extension to 4e Fantasy (yes, DCrawl can be done even with Basic Set), in the way Spaceships and such are "sourcebooks of sourcebooks" as Space, Ultra-Tech...

I have no other hint for make my mind about this.

Edit: I have it! "Pushing the envelope"... Clearly it has to be GURPS Anime!
Joking ;-)

I guess they are choosing the last ones from this very thread!

Mark my words. No matter what it'll be, a bunch of people will be disappointed.

And . . . it's online.

Steve Jackson Games is happy to release, as the last PDF of 2007:

Dungeon Fantasy: Adventurers by Sean Punch.

It's the nature of these things. You put a big, promising blank up, and people fill it in with their own wishes. They've been pretty good at telling us what it's not, so I don't think too many people have any real expectations, and it should be fun regardless... but yeah.

Also: it's 2 pm now. And YAY.

It IS Dungeon Fantasy ^_^

I can understand the PDF release, now. I still think it needs to make it to the FLGS once the whole thing is done (with excessive examples to fill it out, if neccessary), though

=-)
