Except your not apparently using the was SJG games uses it. hence why people are asking for your version

You know, it would have taken you far less effort to just answer the damn question in the first place instead of dodging it like you've done. I therefore conclude you don't have a clue what you're talking about.

Þorkell didn't ask what Kromm or SJGames meant by the phrase, he asked what you meant by the phrase. You are the only person who can possibly answer that question.

Please do so.

Hi. The moderator, here. Okay, so... what you guys are doing? Yeah, it stops. Right now.

Pete, you tried to draw a distinction between "crunch" and "crunchy bits" without offering any explanation. This has confused people, and they're getting understandably testy about it. If you're not going to offer reasoning, then let the matter drop, yeah?

Everyone else, skip right to the "let the matter drop" part. If you want to discuss the book, fine, but don't use this thread as an excuse to start fights.

I would say that's a good curriculum for GURPS Dungeon Fantasy.

Am I missing something or clerics of the hunt god can't have Blessed advantage?

Reading this thread brought up an old question for me.
The feeling someone had that the authors didn't love the game. Way back when GURPS came out one of the things about reading the book that has since diminished or vanished is the humor.
I love the new books and this isn't an insult but the style feels different then when the company was smaller. Was it becasue SJ was the editor?
Is it a push to just be more professional in editing or the authors that have changed? Used to be books were full of humor, inside jokes, weird things that made you laugh as you read them. Now not so much.

I counter this with Fnord being in the index, the Shokuso Gi found in DF12, the racial discriptions for the elves (actually, all racial descriptions) in DF3 . . . those are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head.

Check DF14. It's full of genuinely funny jokes.

Please explain the Shokuso Gi joke, because it looks like a standard bit of powerful ninja gear to me.
