Something that could appeal to D&D players who are looking for more realism or grittiness. The Dungeon Fantasy KS made $176,450 over a $100,000 goal, which isn't a spectacular success but it's a success nonetheless.Īs a start, they could simply make a new Gurps Lite, which is something we've wanted since the beginning. Throw in a bunch of 4th Edition PDFs as stretch goals and it would skyrocket. The diehard fans alone would fund it, assuming it did not have an astronomical funding goal. What I find hard to believe is why they won't Kickstart it. It's not really a surprise, but hearing it from Phil makes it real. In that thread, he basically says there will not be a 5th edition for Gurps, unless the RPG market drastically changes, and the popularity for Gurps increases. It's the one where Phil Masters (of Steve Jackson Games) got a ban for explaining what the disadvantage 'slave mentality' means in Gurps.
I'm not going to link to the thread at TBP nor will I quote it.
