SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I haven't read the whole thread, but is DF different than GURPS ("powered by GURPS" has a few tweaks IIRC)? Or just fewer options of skills, etc?

There is an e23 sale going on, BTW.

There are tweaks but the main differences are presentation not mechanics. For example for each professions there are several traits one could buy. They read like made up D&D style feats but they are really GURPS advantages with enhancements and limitations all pre-calculated and presented as it own thing.

I am currently reading it and still working on a more detailed review. However I can say that the way it presented is about the level of detail, stuff (spells monsters, etc, and organization as Mythras/Runequest 6. If you like what Mythras/Runequest 6 presented as a RPG, then the DF RPG will be up your alley. It definitely not the shopping list reference book that is the two GURPS Core Books.

Thanks! TBH I am more of a GURPS guy than Mythras/Runequest 6, but I've stopped playing because of too many skills and options (and the use of the bell curve in combat which makes things a bit boring IMO). In any case, it sounds very interesting, and the "feats" solution seems like a good idea.
