DF 16 ???

I think they are due for "Pirates" or something on the "High Seas" for our Viking like Barbarians and Swashbucklers. Second guess would be "Cities and Castles"

But what I'd really LOVE to see would be DF Power Ups 2.

No Fighting-Robots?

I would really love to see a more in-depth "Dungeon Builder's Guidebook" full of traps, concealed doors, blind corridors and general nastiness.

I'm kinda hoping it's DF:Bestiary II, but if it's being touted as "DF 16" and not "DF:B2", it's probably not that.

I have a Pyramid article that's all about this. But it got rejected because it was too long and table-ridden. Might try submitting it again or maybe propose a book...

DF:Ninjas was only 14,000 words including ad copy. The Deadly Spring was 11,000 words. So if you're in the 10 to 15,000-word range (or can get there) you're in "short e23 supplement" territory, so I encourage the proposal!

I've been really thinking about, I wanted to expand it anyways. Maybe after the pipe line unclogs I'll send it in. I was told it was a damn nifty idea (it had random roll tables for traps, what type it was, how powerful it was, etc.).

Well, DF 16 isn't about traps, but there are six examples – about a page and a half – of fully worked traps in there, so it's worth waiting for just to get a feel for the style (and lethality level!).

Please, do that, and give examples of how various general trap types (pit trap, spiked needle on a lock, et cetera) work. Traps are the great unwashed crunchy bit of GURPS DF; even most of my traps on the GURPS Repository are translations from d20 or are based on those traps as chassis.

God, I'd love to get my hands on that article, book, whatever. Please expand it even more, glorious master of tables.

Man, this thread is quickly becoming a teas-o-rama for me. I'm starting to wish there was an easy way to vote up article and book proposals on the forums.

That's also great. I've been using the old traps template and slightly expanded it, but I couldn't help feeling there was missing something - and I don't merely mean a lethality rating.
