If D&D is as popular as I think it is, a free GURPS Fantasy Lite, independent of the DF line, might be a powerful recruiting tool. With some simple 150 point templates, a few races to choose from, a smattering of spells such as you got with Basic D&D, and a couple of crunchy monster pages, you might give people enough of a taste to hook them. The superiority of GURPS for fantasy gaming is one of the best kept secrets in geekdom.

Edit: Given how popular DF has turned out to be, maybe SJG should consider releasing the full set of DFs as a hardback!

Edit 2: The book is presently being discussed on GURPSnet here http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?...=1#post8276693 Folks might want to check in there too and give their impressions.

Um.. I'm getting it so I can leave D&D behind. With D&D going 4th, I do not realy want to respend all of my cash on another whole system. So I think GURPS:DF is perfect catch for me.
