Guest Post by Antoni Ten Monros Steve Jackson Games is running the “Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game, Powered by GURPS” Kickstarter, and one of the questions you often get, is why?

That’s partly because I’m an obsessive GURPS hoarder, but I do have a particular fascination for Dungeon Fantasy. I’ve read each book […]
