Wish I saw this before I sold my gurps book. I found the game to be overwhelming in all the stats and math but I do love the idea of a generic system.

Have played Star Wars / Dune SF, low-level action / supers, three fundamentally different fantasy campaigns, a Napoleonic adventure based on a TV series, a 'dream logic' narrative where everyone contributed, and a retro Supers game based upon the 1990s Batman animated series, among others. Only the parts we needed, yes, this.

Honestly, after several game systems we found GURPS and now only use other game books for detail. Have never needed anything else. Rule one: use only what you decide you need. It's a toolbox, not a cut in stone set of dogma. Rule two: you have never needed splatbooks. An NPC is what he does, and what's in his pockets if an enemy. A monster is what it does and what's in it's lair.

Great episode for a relative gurps newbie like me. I hope, you'll keep doing more episodes in the future! 👍

Good episode. I still feel like the volume levels are a bit off but I enjoyed it and look forward to the next.
