It's really not all the GURPS like, based on how much of it isn't as modular as people wanted. I can strip down 5e to brass tacks and...

There are no “complete” settings. Even the Forgotten Realms still has whole continents that have never been touched. There is always...

The Forgotten Realms doesn’t really look like any of those, it’s much more high magic, fantastical landscapes and generally heightened...
