 | Game Summary | [ Edit Main Info ] |
GURPS, the Generic Universal Role-Playing System, is a system for all genres. Character generation is point-based, with points buying attributes, skills, and advantages, and disadvantages and low attributes being traded for extra points. Combat can be run at either of two levels: Basic (somewhat abstract) and Advanced (map-based). A basic magic system is included, as is a psionics system. There is a chapter on game-mastering, and another on writing adventures

| 3 / 10 | Simple Man | Complicated toolkit that didn't work well for some genres despite it's "universal" moniker. |
| 7 / 10 | Gitrog | I know I've played this, though I can't remember what edition or much about it, except that it works well enough. It's no Hero system, though... |
