Default Need help recommending DF quick start/sample version

On Enworld there's a discussion on post-D&D dungeoneering, and a question came up:

'What to run when you are done with D&D?' https://www.enworld.org/threads/what...4/post-8800145

Quote:
Your posts on Dungeon Fantasy have definitely led me to look into it. What is the easiest way to get into the game, do they have a quick start or free version?

I’m familiar with GURPS but never played or ran it.

Any good actual plays or demos on YouTube as well?
Can we give this guy some recommendations?

I wrote:

1.) If you want a free and fast one-page intro to GURPS as a system, that would be GURPS Ultralight (https://sjg-warehouse-23.myshopify.c...rps-ultra-lite). It doesn't give the flavor of Dungeon Fantasy because it's not, but you could put it together with (3) below.

2.) If you're willing to spend $9, Pyramid 3 issue #104 includes a Choose Your Own Adventure-style solo adventure called Secrets of the Living Tomb designed to teach you the rules even if you don't have any other material. https://sjg-warehouse-23.myshopify.c...leplaying-game

3.) You can download a 50 page preview of the DFRPG boxed set here: https://sjg-warehouse-23.myshopify.c...leplaying-game

I don't have any YouTube recommendations but maybe someone else will.

If you can afford it and like what you see in the preview, I would just order the boxed set (and have done so for friends and family). It's a good, self-contained intro well worth the asking price ($40 PDF, $79 physical boxed set).

I added a post mentioning GMsShadow's podcast and Delvers to Grow. Doug's support material is such a boon for DFRPG. It is clearly a rich, dynamic ecosystem when you look at the many support products from both Gaming Ballistic and SJG.
