Re: What's next for the DFRPG?
While I'll happily buy just about anything produced for DFRPG, low-point adventuring isn't at the top of my personal wishlist. I'm more interested in:
I don't particularly need new or expanded rules, though I enjoy them when they help flesh out a new setting. So an adventure on the high seas might include expanded information about sailing, swimming, underwater fighting, water spells, etc. |

I can see an encounter book being useful. Back when I was playing D&D 4th Edition, there was a book (Dungeon Delve) which contained a range of encounters. The book was in leveled order, with the front of the book having level 1 encounters and the back of the book having level 30 encounters. While GURPS does not have levels, I believe a similar book could be useful for DFRPG. Encounters could range from the first being a simple mook fight to the last being something deadly and complex (such as fighting a boss monster on its home turf). It's been a while since I've played that game or read that book, but I believe it's more accurate to say that each entry was a set of 1-3 encounters/rooms designed to be dropped into a campaign. I'm not exactly sure what the products looks like through the lens of GURPS, but I believe it could be useful. Perhaps, instead of a level/complexity range, there could be collections of adventures/encounters to plug into different parts of a campaign: a collection of starter adventures for getting a campaign moving; a collection of middle adventures to plug in somewhere after a campaign is in progress; and a collection of adventures and boss fights intended to be a capstone to a campaign. The intention would not be to provide a complete adventure path, but to instead provide bullet points around which to build a campaign. So perhaps someone chooses signing up to Serve as Caravan Security as the starter adventure from book A; they choose Showdown With the Goblin Shaman from book B as an important plot point somewhere in the middle; and they choose The Demonologist's Tower from book C as the end point to their story arc. It would then be up to the GM to connect the dots by filling in the gaps in between. |

Big Book of Bad Grammar? You're gonna challenge PCs with grammar? FWIW in Icelandic the definitive article is almost always at the end of the word. It can be a separate word but that's a bit odd. |

Re: What's next for the DFRPG?
Same in Swedish. And presumably in the other Scandinavian countries. I don't think proto-Germanic even had definite/indefinite articles.

Re: What's next for the DFRPG?
Do the Nordlund books have any cheeky sidebars about flyting and Lokasenna, for the delectation of the bards in the group?

Re: What's next for the DFRPG?
Flyting gets a small but fun section in Citadel at Nordvorn. I don't explicitly mention the Lokasenna, because tying the setting to ACTUAL Norse mythology, as opposed to "hey, where'd those serial number go?" is somewhat out of place in the DFRPG.

I don't know what the Lokasenna is and don't recall seeing it referenced in the books. Edit: Douglas beat me to it! |
