The Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game is a “rules medium” version of GURPS, optimized for hack ‘n’ slash fantasy. But what does that even mean? pr> The lightest version of GURPS – cleverly titled GURPS Lite – is a 32-page freebie that runs to about 30,000 words. It doesn’t include a magic system, rules for superpowers, vehicle stats, or any of thousands of other elements you need to delve deeply into specific genres. It’s playable but a little rudimentary. At the heavy end of the spectrum is the GURPS core, the GURPS Basic Set. Its two thick tomes total 576-pages, filled with more than 400,000 words. It touches on almost every kind of game: fantasy, historical, horror, post-apocalyptic, space opera, super-heroes . . . The back covers shout “Anything You Want” and “Any World You Can Imagine,” and that’s no lie! If you want more detail in some area, there are nearly 300 supplements for the current (fourth) edition. Content for older editions pushes the count past 500.

The Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game comes down the middle. It’s a boxed set consisting of a two-book core (Adventurers and Exploits, totaling 240-pages and about 150,000 words), spell and monster collections (creatively titled Spells and Monsters), a starter adventure (“I Smell a Rat”), maps, heavy cardstock figures with bases, and dice. The writing weighs in at around 250,000 words in all. The game is complete out of the box – no supplements needed. And unlike the Basic Set, it’s pure hack ‘n’ slash fantasy, not a generic system.

So, It’s GURPS?
The Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game loots its engine from GURPS, but gets rid of anything you don’t need if all you want to do is handle bands of fantasy warriors, rogues, and magic-users who visit dungeons, kill monsters, and cart off treasure. For instance, you won’t find rules for firearms, spaceships, or real-world economics. The real world takes a back seat in general – gamers often opine that GURPS puts realism first, but the Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game puts fantasy at the forefront.

The title hints at this, too. It’s taken from a lengthy series of GURPS supplements called GURPS Dungeon Fantasy. That series adjusts or replaces much of the GURPS Basic Set to better fit hack ‘n’ slash fantasy – and during the process of adapting GURPS to the Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game, we consistently favored that interpretation.

In addition to making the game genre-specific, we streamlined. We cut back on the math (GURPS isn’t 49.938±0.003% as math-heavy as its reputation suggests, but still…). We removed wordy special cases. We reduced lookups. We simplified or outright cut rules that slowed game play. We went beyond rules, too – we presented stats in easier-to-use formats.

What’s All This About a Box?
Unlike GURPS, the Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game isn’t a “some assembly required” rules set. It’s a ready-to-play game (in a box) containing rulebooks, an adventure, maps, figures, and dice. All you need to do is print out character sheets and provide the pencils (GURPS dates to 1986, but we no longer live in the age of stuffing boxes with pads and pencils!).

So, you don’t need to buy stacks of supplements to play. While there’s a Dungeon Fantasy GM Screen that includes two booklets aimed at speeding up game play, this introduces no additional rules; it just makes the existing ones easier to use. We think it’s an incredibly useful game aid – so useful that gamers might see it as a must-have – but ultimately, it’s optional.

The Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game also launches with three supplements useful to gamers who plan to run ongoing campaigns rather than one-offs. Against the Rat-Men continues the introductory adventure in the box, while Magic Items and Traps provide ready-to-use content for GM-written adventures. All three started life as PDF rewards for backers who crowdfunded the game, but the content will be compiled in print and sold as the Dungeon Fantasy Companion. That might be seen as “core,” too, but it’s intended only as a time-saver – any GM could dream up new dungeons, magic items, and traps.

The point is, there will be support, but we’re not looking at a whole new product line. The Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game is finite and self-contained – an entry-level game you can leap into, sword in hand, right away. And, by removing doubts about what optional rules are in effect or what supplements are allowed, it’s also well-suited to convention and pick-up play.

Welcome, gamesmasters! Use these unusual gates to travel between worlds, demiplanes, and dimensions!

Within the pages of this slim, saddle-stitched book are magic portals, gateways to other worlds that are usable in most fantasy roleplaying games. (Especially games that are based on the classic RPG we all know and love.)

Each gate detailed within is more descriptive in nature than mechanical, making it easy for GMs to incorporate these ideas into their games with as few headaches as possible.

Sprinkle these gates across your campaign and watch as the player characters stumble their way into endless adventure!

This collection of 25 planar gates, portals between worlds, is written as rules-light and systemless as possible. The book's contents are useable with many fantasy roleplaying games, especially those derived from or based on the classic 1974 original and its many variations and editions.

Gamemasters will find the various gates are designed more as story seeds and adventure hooks than mechanical objects. Those of you who run freeform, imaginative campaigns that are willing to jump between worlds will find several ideas within this slim hardcover. Most importantly, these ideas are intended to be springboards for your own imagination and creativity.

A 64-page black-and-white saddle-stitched collection detailing 25 different ways to travel between worlds.

* D66 Rumors that the gamemaster may turn to for inspiration and ideas.
* An overview of the Castle Skullrot region, a small area of land where the GM can set adventures. This section is presented as the broad strokes; it is up to the gamemaster to flesh out the region.

Designed by Steve Jackson and award-winning science-fiction author David Brin, Tribes has been an underground favorite for years. It started as a very simple roleplaying game which plays a lot like a boardgame. The new Second Edition streamlines play and upgrades the components to a level expected by modern gamers.

The Stone Age is now, and your children are the key to the future!

In Tribes, the players are cave men and women. They hunt and gather food, make their tribal laws, and deal with natural disasters. But the object of the game is simple: Look after the children! In this game, the way to win is to have the most kids... and do whatever you have to do to make sure they survive. The players must know when to cooperate, and when to cut their losses and protect their own families.

Tribes supports 4 to 8 players, creating their own laws and social patterns. With several copies and a referee, you can have several tribes at once, competing, trading, exchanging members, and even making war.

This edition features erasable Character Cards and Birth Records, along with a marker; gameboards for tracking years, game, and children; color tokens for Food, Grain, Baskets, and Spears; filling a sturdy box (the game weighs 373 grams).

If you enjoy big multiplayer games like Terraforming Mars or the original Civilization, you’ll like this game of what happened before civilization was a thing.
