So...GURPS D&D?

[Gavynn]

Well, I won't go so far as to say that if you are interested in Medieval Fantasy to just stick with D&D. It was not a lack of interest in the genre that made me switch to GURPS. I still love the genre, it is just that GURPS (I think) has a better rule set. With GURPS, I can get a great rule set and apply it to my favorite genre.

There are lots of people who are still interested in Medieval Fantasy, but don't really care for the D&D rule set. Fairly regularly we have people pop in here on the boards looking for exactly that same kind of thing. They want to "covert" GURPS to D&D, and by that most of the mean - How do I play a GURPS game about the traditional subject matter of D&D? These new PDFs really help out with that. It lets someone cut to the chase if that genre is what they are looking for.

It is true that the templates given for the heroes start at 250 points. I'd like to see 50, 100, 150, and 200 point templates of each of the templates, but that is easy enough to do since it would be subtracting from the existing rather than adding to.

For me there is still a certain amount of nostalgia associated with D&D, and at one time I thought about running a AD&D game for old times sake, but couldn’t really bring myself to do it. Instead, I though I needed to create a guide for your traditional dungeoneering fantasy game to run in GURPS, but that never got off the ground because of time constraints. With these .pdfs, I really feel like I could give them to my players (well not the GM part, obviously) and have them make characters, and pull one of my favorite AD&D modules off the shelf and be up and running in a very short amount of time. The best of both worlds.
