I'm pretty sure there was a KickStarter post discussing it :-)

This is particularly obvious (I see now) just by glancing at the GM Screen... which also repeats the covers from Adventurers and Exploits. These don't appear to make one picture, but I think they do depict some before-and-after in the same room. In the first, the Red Cultists are up to tricks at an evil altar (who's the cringing guy at left?); in the second, adventurers have broken up the party and are giving the head cultist what for.

The two people crouching in those pictures are both listening at the same door from different sides...

I'd love to see GURPS gain some "iconic" monsters. That's not easily done with GURPS itself – "it's a toolbox, not a setting" and all that – but sure could happen with DFRPG.

Clearly only fans can ultimately decide what become fan favourites, however the iconic D&D monsters are distinct, have a shtick and are challenging. Rust Monster, Owl Bear, Ithillid and Beholder. Other too. There are more humourous favourites (like the flumph) and for GURPS that would surely be a killer psychic blueberry muffin?
