Delvers to Grow: Quick Chargen for the DFRPG Starting at 62 points
Zero-to-Hero with the Dungeon Fantasy RPG
Even the mightiest delver started somewhere. An apprentice, a squire or man-at-arms, a backup singer with The Backstreet Bards. Delvers to Grow allows you to take the part of those starting characters, supporting starting play as low as 62 points. Delvers to Grow provides pre-built modules and packages enabling a player to create a capable, playable character in minutes. Get gaming. Fast. Fully compatible with the professional template system in the Dungeon Fantasy RPG Adventurers book, Delvers to Grow lets you start much earlier in the hero’s journey, letting both players and GMs ease into the full breadth of capability that the professional delvers of the Dungeon Fantasy RPG bring to the table. Explore different challenges or use the modules to effortlessly assemble henchmen...or create a starting character to replace the dearly departed. Roll and Shout with Delvers to Grow The Delvers to Grow project supports these goals:
In the main book, Kevin Smyth (author of Nordlondr Folk and Hand of Asgard) does the heavy lifting for you, enabling character generation in only a handful of key decisions. Playtesting revealed the characters thus generated to be both eminently playable...and surprisingly robust! That doesn't mean the fun of character generation and tweaking in Powered by GURPS books is lost...use Delvers to Grow to quickly get in the right ballpark for the chosen profession...and then tweak to taste! The three 16-page example books detail how each of the 12 professions treated in the "Build-a-Björn" book grows from a 62-point novice to a 187-point master, with fully worked examples including loadouts, traits, and spells and abilities where appropriate.

I'd like to note that as patr(e?)on, I got a look at an early draft. I'm very excited about this book.

Is the book aimed more to be a general book for DFRPG or rather a supplement for Nordland?

Might you have to tweak things? Maybe a bit, especially where disadvantages and cultural assumptions come in. But there's nothing setting specific about Weapons Master, Extra Attack, or Sword-18. Let me get the author to weigh in here as well!

I would say that this - more than any of the work I've done for GB - is about as generic as it gets. "Character creation mechanics" don't really have a 'flavor', so it'll suit DFRPG (or GURPS DF for that matter) just fine.

Several of my Patreon members got an advanced copy and ran a "meatgrinder" scenario as a blind test, with neither the publisher or the author involved. One of them (so far) has posted a play report:

Paths of Glory has speeches like that, but not quite so on-the-nose.
