I figured that quote would hold the WWGS Snark title for a while. I stand corrected. :)

Hmm I am not sure I count...I am a historian who can do math (basic mostly)...

I am so bummed!! ;-(>

Dungeon Fantasy: Good or Bad for GURPS?

The entire slashed and looted Orc Nation says: "It is BAD".

There are efforts, too, by influential Liches and Evil Archmages for protecting their dungeons from complete mistreatment and ransackings: while they blame Dungeon Fantasy, they are talking with UNESCO trying to promote Dark Towers, Cursed Crypts and Deathtrap Dungeons to Patrimony of Humanity status for protection.

Right. There are people who left behind D&D for GURPS, because they felt D&D's rule system wasn't good enough for handling "fantasy", "dungeon adventuring", "action fantasy gaming" or [put your favorite designation here]. They wanted a better, proper way for running their favorite genre. I guess GURPS Dungeon Fantasy is a winner for them.
