[QUOTE="pawsplay, post: 5500250, member: 15538"] .... well.... Mayfair put out some products under the Role-Aids brand a while back. One of them was a very decent set of Psionics rules. I'm not sure what you mean by "buildy." It's possible to spend a lot of time fiddling with advantages and such, but the SOP for building a GURPS character is to use a template, or set some key values for skills and Attributes, then use your remaining points to grab some secondary skills and fill out your background and unique traits. The play really depends. How many points? What are the players expected to spend the points on? What optional rules?
