I agree with all you wrote. I still think that SJ Games kind of missed a (possible) chance when they made the Dungeon Fantasy RPG. Since the game was self-contained and already had all the "switches and dials" selected for it (GURPS is a toolkit and tuning it for a certain genre or campaign can...

I find GURPS combat quite good, but it does require a certain mastery by the players. Better to start with just the basic combat and no options. Still, it has a very different feeling than most other RPGs. This can be indeed a problem. I'll also add that the point-buy system for PCs can be very...

I - sadly - haven't played a lot of GURPS, but all my experiences were very good. Once, at GenCon UK (back when it still existed), I was able to play in three different adventures, two ran by Phil Master and another by Roger Burton West. Good times.

I've been following the development and it does look promising to me.

OSRIC has always used the OGL. In fact, the upcoming 3.0 version will be the first to move away from the OGL. It is true that when it came out people where unsure about the legality of OSRIC and the authors were extra-cautious about a few things, like changing the exceptional strength table and...

In the original AD&D module, the scale is 3.5 miles per hex, so quite similar. This should, more or less, match the size of the area in the Greyhawk map.

That's a fair point. Being already available in PDF should make it no longer valid, I think.

The bad oversight was not nominating it... ;)

... and welcome to EN World! What a friendly first post! :p

Buon Natale!

Another year in which I don't play and I never hear the song... :D

Yes, that's what I was planning.

Did I read somewhere that they were going to make a "deluxe" version of Liminal Horror?

That's certainly a cool set-up, but I'm not sure that I - sadly - have enough time for this.

Depending on the President, I might have the PCs side with the ninjas... :p

T1 is a great adventure, but I'm looking for something short and ideally ready to go. U1 already has a 5e version, it is split in two short parts and I'm familiar with it, having run it. It's certainly one option.

Actually, not really. I gave a quite detailed setup, because all of that has already been thought and discussed. Others will legitimately organize things differently in a similar situation, but that's what we decided to do with my friend.

A friend of mine recently asked me to run a short adventure with the new version of the rules. He only played D&D (and RPGs in general) once - for a few sessions - some 7 years ago. His interest has recently been rekindled and he would like to play with his 14 years old nephew and 1-2 of his...

Many interesting possibilities here... I've voted for Ars Magica, So You've Met A Thousand Year Old Vampire and Trail of Cthulhu.
