This came up in another thread. I would dearly like to able to best tbone in introducing it, but I can't so I'll let tbone do it.

Has anyone tried it? Whether or not you have tried it, what do you think?

Well, I just downloaded it.  I haven't yet read it.  Looks cool, though.

I think it's too much.  16 or 32 pages would serve the purpose better.

I like it. I run the occasional "Introduction to Fantasy Role-Playing" session at my local library, using GURPS Lite 3e, Caverns & Creatures and an adventure of my own creation. It seems to work out pretty well. The players get to keep the GURPS Lite and C&C booklets for their own campaigns.

If a version of this can be made compatible with 4th edition GURPS easily - then color me interested.

Su-wipe! :hehe:

Thanks for the heads-up on this.  I haven't made the transition from 3rd to 4th Edition yet (primarily because of how much the 4th Ed books cost), and I think my old gaming group might be interested in giving this a go at some point.  It's a nice package, I think, and it looks like a great way of introducing a D&D-style game to GURPS.

I realize that a big part of the point was to emulate D&D, but I have to say that I still prefer the GURPS Magic way of doing spells - a sort of logical progression of learning essential concepts (Create Fire, etc.) before moving on to more complex and powerful spells (Fireball).  The booklet says the two aren't compatible; I'll trust him for now, though I know I'll be looking for a way to adapt it.

Working on it...but it's one of my "back-burner" projects right now.

I downloaded it and will read it eagerly. D&D has been the "default" fantasy game in my group for a long time, but we use GURPS for most everything else. I'll be interested to see how this compares. If nothing else, it'd make introducing wonky "ancient magic items" much easier. :)
