[QUOTE="Wik, post: 5500217, member: 40177"] I get lost in these GM-related questions sometimes. And I forget that, you know, I actually have players. ;) ** If it wasn't for psionics, 2e would win by a landslide, almost (though with a BECMI style THAC0 progression for both PCs and monsters). However, if we add psionics to the list, I kind of like either Savage Worlds or Cortex, or some weird frankenstein's monster combo of the two. Unless there's some great set of 2e Psionics that I don't know about? There could possibly be a hack out there. Really, I never had too many problems with psionics "back in the day", but I have a feeling this is because I used to be a very heavy-handed GM and would just ignore flagrant abuses. I've never played GURPS, but from what I understand, it's a very "buildy" game. And while I don't mind buildy games, I want my non-buildy players to be able to make PCs and go and still be able to play the same game as the build-oriented players. How does the game actually play out? I've never really heard too many play experiences of the game... sort of like Traveller, to be honest. What is GURPS like in play? And how much could I reasonably expect to pay to get started? 3e is only an option if it's an e6 Variant. I'd love to hear some opinions on how the game would work out in actual play. How does e6 work in slightly longer-term campaigns? And really, how would e6 work with, you know, sorcerer kings? I have no desire to play full on d20 or pathfinder. Sorry to the 3e guys, but I don't want to go back. And sorry to the 4e crowd, but that game isn't for me, either. [/QUOTE]
