[QUOTE="Swanosaurus, post: 9786322, member: 7044220"] TBH, I still consider Dungeon Fantasy a weird choice to draw in new people ... While I can see why anyone who already plays GURPS might like a ready-made powercrunch fantasy implementation, but I do not know why someone should choose it over D&D, or DCC, or any other more classic Dungeon RPG. Infinite Worlds and Banestorm are settings that seem to be much more in tune with the implications of GURPS and could be sold as something exciting and different. Presenting either of them (or something else along the lines) as a full-fleged, curated mid-crunch GURPS would have seemed a lot more promising to me and could have re-established a recognizabel and appropriate core identity for GURPS. Like "GURPS is that dimension hopping RPG, but you can also buy the full, setting-agnostic rules encyclopedia, and it has lots of other setting and rules supplements, which goes really well with dimension-hopping."
