Dungeon Fantasy Box set
So back when I was coming back I decided to go with the full version of GURPS and was having a ton of frustration with a dearth of examples and huge amount of work needed for a GM.
I was quickly reaching a point of daily frustration. However when I mentioned coming back someone (Turhan's Bey Company) suggested I should look into Dungeon Fantasy (powered by GURPS). After getting the Companion 2, I decided to grab the full box set for a $80 price tag. Holy smokes, this has almost everything I was wanting and complaining about addressed already. The layout is a cleaner two column layout, the options are cleaned up, and all the example monsters in the book give me a great sense of scale. Having said that I do have a couple complaints/suggestions. 1) Only two example characters. 2) No way to just by the Adventurer book and Magic book separately for my players. We are rebuilding the original GURPS characters using just the Dungeon Fantasy options and other than that this is great. I have chosen a few house rules for simplicity on the players. 1) All non-magical skills use the Average price column. 2) Skills that allow defaults will all use Characteristic -4. 3) Lumping turns into 3 or 4 seconds to fit naratives. Neither of those are big deals and really would not be needed at all for adults, but they make the game more approachable for the 10 and 13 year old's at the table.

Re: Dungeon Fantasy Box set
Awesome, thanks for the link I will grab that with the 13 pregens. As I go I will look into the other stuff.
So much cool stuff, and that I can mix with the full gurps is extra awesome. PS: None of us are that worked up about perfect balance. So anyone who cares gets the option too adjust any missing points. |

Re: Dungeon Fantasy Box set
Oh, sorry about posting in wrong forum. I did not realize Dungeon Fantasy gets its own.
