DFRPG going forward
 

Getting my DFRPG box got me inspired to catch up on the PDF series, so after purchasing, downloading and printing off a stack, I got to thinking.

Forgive me if this has already been asked and answered, but going forward how will Dungeon Fantasy be handled? Is it correct to assume that the new box set will become the "core" ruleset, and new DF PDFs will supplement that specifically (page references, etc), or will it stay with the older GURPS PDF supplements, or a combination of both?

I know they are almost completely compatible, so it's not a big deal, except for possibly the aforementioned page number/rule references. I was just curious.

GURPS Dungeon Fantasy, with any new books, will continue to be GURPS. While Dungeon Fantasy Powered by GURPS will be its own game.

To paste what I said in another thread:

If the Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game and the Dungeon Fantasy GM Screen sell well in distribution, and if the Dungeon Fantasy Companion does well in POD, we'll be looking at supporting the game with general releases of further materials. If there's little interest save from Kickstarter backers, we'll have to take a long look at if and how we can support the game, which isn't the same as "we won't" – "with more Kickstarters" is an entirely valid option.

We definitely don't want to confuse the two. GURPS Dungeon Fantasy is a proven product . . . click the link and look at how many titles it has. There's no question that we will continue to support it. Indeed, we have yet another supplement for the series in the works right now.

Whatever we do with the Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game, then, it will be separate from what we do with GURPS Dungeon Fantasy. There's a high level of compatibility between the two, so experienced gamers won't want for material, but we need to be careful not to (1) bewilder less-experienced gamers whose first exposure to GURPS is the Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game, or (2) force GURPS Dungeon Fantasy fans to buy a slightly different game if they want continued support. Among other things, that means no cross-referencing.

Obviously, sales could dictate that eventually we support one but not the other, though that would be disappointing. That isn't the case right now, however.
