Dungeon Fantasy 7: Attack of the Healbots
 
Ahoy, all. This week's release is up, and it looks like it's GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 7: Clerics. I think. I mean, that's what it says on the cover... yeah, yeah, it's definitely DF 7. Kind of in a hurry today, so I haven't looked too closely at it yet. Let me know if I accidentally uploaded, I don't know, a drawing of a horsie or anything like that.

No horsie pictures, but Holly Hunter gets a mention on p18.
Oops, my mistake thats Holy Hunter :)

This book will be really useful for quickly making priests. I have enjoyed reading it so far but I haven't found a template for gods of magic like Odin and Hecate. I am very curious about how a god of magic template would work, would they be granted spells to increase mana level or would they just be granted levels of magery? In any case the book is very good.

That was the first thing I thought when I read that section . . .

Great. This sourcebook looks very promising.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm afraid that I couldn't see any way to make a god of magic work. Dungeon Fantasy is, to a significant extent, all about niche protection, and a cleric of a god of magic is just too likely to splatter that. The best thing I can suggest is to make a priest of something like Night (Hecate) or War (Odin) - or use the guidelines for a god of wisdom - and then stretch it as far as the GM will let you. And then apply the lens for a cleric-wizard from DF3 as soon as you've saved up the points.

That's... weird. The copy on the server (which I have open as I write this) is fine. Try downloading it again?

Weirder than weird. However, perhaps is due to me purchasing and downloading it within minutes of it being released (I had set up a bash script to check the new advanced search page every 5 minutes xD), and thus getting a bad version?

Well, it's an omission I can live with. In most settings, followers of the god of magic are mages themselves, and the church does provide access to the best libraries. What I was surprised to find missing was a priest of the elder things, specially after they're specifically mentioned. Oh, and some small customization notes in order to differenciate "good" spell lists from "evil" spell lists.
