Another interesting universe that could be adapted to G:DF is the Xcrawl now published by Goodman Games. Heres a blurb and link.

In Xcrawl, the players are superstar athletes taking their chances in a live-on-pay-per-view death sport. It’s a modern-day world with a fantasy twist, and the game is simple: the Dungeon Judge, or DJ, creates an artificial dungeon under controlled – but lethal – conditions. He designs the maze, and stocks it with monsters, secret doors, magical traps, treasure and prizes. The players must go through the dungeon and fulfill whatever conditions the DJ puts forth in order to win. Xcrawl is a sport and the challenges are created, but the danger is no less real. If you die, you die. There are no second chances. Citizens of the North American Empire tune in every week to watch their favorite celebrities get eaten, paralyzed, turned to stone, and ripped apart. The nation’s hunger for blood and mayhem grows with every contest. How will you fare?

I picked it up awhile ago to do a GURPS version and now that DF has come I only need to covert just a few things.

Oh yes, that would be most useful. I really hope that something along the lines of Dungeon Fantasy: Adventures comes out soon.
