I'm having trouble parsing this...

Are you saying that there it is possible that there is only a singe GURPS fan with multiple heads?

If this means you normally can parse his posts, could you subtitle all of them please? ;o)

Then he pulls off his rubber mask, and it's Steve Jackson telling you you've been involuntarily signed up to playtest GURPS: REALM OF YOLMI, D20 EDITION.

When I hear the D20 part, I roll for Biting My Tongue off.

1d100 = 37

Do I succeed?

You jest, but "GURPS will take over the world" (or the hobby in any case) was a popular meme in the 1990s here in Brazil; a time and place in which it held sway. It was right up there with, or a very close second to, AD&D 2e, at least until V:tM got translated.

It spiked when SJG published GURPS oWoD supplements -- shit, does anyone remember this? Soon enough there was going to be GURPS Dragonlance, GURPS FR, GURPS CoC, GURPS Star Wars and it was downhill from there. Every con I went to I seemed to run into some GURPShead (some taking the piss, some naively passing along hobby shop rumor, and at least a couple crazy types in love with their own spiel) assuring everyone that GURPS Marvel Superheroes was just around the corner.

I certainty knew quite a few people in the UK who believed the same in the 90s, yes.

"If you want a picture of the future, Winston, picture a [strike]boob[/strike][strike]boot[/strike]Steve Jackson stamping on a human face, for-ever."

Quote from: flyerfan1991;644439That sounds like Dominion, but I think the artwork is a bit pricey for Steve Jackson's tastes.

I think SJ can step up to the level of a Dominion, but I suspect that's the kinda game he wants. Dominion is a gold mine. The art ain't cheap, but the ease of making add-on sets that people want is why its so profitable. Also, its "non-CCG" status is a big draw.

SJG should assimilate Cheap Ass Games and then bring a few of their games up to a higher level of visual quality.

GURPS Dungeon Fantasy

The line has one of the best treasure tables I ever send DF 8 Treasure Table and oddly enough it is easily adaptable to D&D.

What about Thunderstone by Alderac?
