You meet in a crowded tavern....

A GURPS DUNGEON FANTASY CAMPAIGN

It's something that resonates with nearly every gamer: the thrill of taking a powerful, faux-medieval adventurer down into a cave (or a haunted forest, or a sinister stronghold), killing monsters, and taking their treasure. But making your way as a wandering, homeless slayer of monsters isn’t all the legends suggest. Life on the road is costly, and it turns out that monsters don’t often have a lot of treasure. On top of that, the monster-killing treasure-hunting trade is getting downright competitive, what with every youngster who inherits a cheap blade from an old-soldier grandpa fancying himself an orc-killer or dragon-slayer, and every young cleric who cracked a tome or wonky wizard who cast a spell thinking themselves an eminent sage and brave explorer. But what are you gonna do? Quit? Don’t make me larf! The only answer is to hunt bigger monsters and better treasure, of course.
