BOOM. Between this and the other samples released in the Kickstarter updates, I&#8217;m really looking forward to this new streamlined presentation.<\/p>\n<p>I am very excited about this boxed-set, &#8220;Powered by GURPS&#8221; version of Dungeon Fantasy, for a number of reasons:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It will be a GURPS product\u00a0<em>actually on store shelves that people can see with their eyes and touch with their hands.<\/em> This is a huge, huge thing just by itself. I often hear people around the GURPS games I run at cons saying things like, &#8220;They&#8217;re still publishing GURPS?&#8221; <strong>Yes. Yes, they are<\/strong>, and now everyone will know it.<\/li>\n<li>I can point newcomers to GURPS at a single product that can serve as their introduction to the system, built for that express purpose. There is a ton of information out there for those finding their way to GURPS &#8212; I do what I can to create as much as I can on that front myself! &#8212; but it can be a bit spread out. A single point of entry is most welcome.&#8217;<\/li>\n<li>The grand success of <em>this<\/em> boxed set has at least the potential of leading to <em>other<\/em> physical GURPS products, which is something I really, really miss from my bookshelf.<\/li>\n<li>A physical, hold-in-your-hands-and-smell-the-print edition of &#8220;How to Be a GURPS GM.&#8221; This point is kind of selfish, but I&#8217;d be lying if I said I wasn&#8217;t stoked to see it come to pass. I&#8217;m not sure which visual to go with here &#8212; me as Demi Moore rolling around on a bed covered in physical copies, or me as Mena Suvari having physical copies rained down upon me. Take your pick, I suppose&#8230; they are equally disturbing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There&#8217;s just a few hours left now! If you love GURPS, if you want to see more of it, if you&#8217;re looking for a streamlined way into the system, or if you just want to support the venerable and beloved Steve Jackson Games&#8230; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/847271320\/dungeon-fantasy-roleplaying-game-powered-by-gurps\">head on over to the Kickstarter<\/a> and see if it&#8217;s something you might dig.<\/p>\n<p>Can&#8217;t wait until this ships!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>If you enjoyed this post and others like it, might you consider the <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/TheMookNet?ty=h\">Game Geekery Patreon<\/a><em>?<\/em><br \/>\n<!--Precis - An exclusive look at a new spell for the Dungeon Fantasy RPG Kickstarter...
