Message: <blockquote data-quote="med stud" data-source="post: 1308210" data-attributes="member: 1211">I would play GURPs over D&D for a gritty game, if the defenition of gritty is that the danger of dying is always there and that a PC, no matter how good he is, has a reason to fear being outnumbered. It's really hard to do that with D&D; a level 6 fighter with great cleave, high constitution and AC 22+ can really take down a smaller army by himself, if that army consists of lvl 1 warriors without exceptional stats. Especially if he carries healing potions as well.That style of playing is entertaining (and the reason why I play D&D) but it is not gritty. For a more "dagger in the dark" kind of political campaign I wouldnt use D&D. It would be too much work fitting the system for the campaign. GURPs is much better in that aspect (thats the reason why I play, not GURPS, but TRoS which is another gritty system (I play both D&D and TRoS)).It's about what the system is made for and about chosing the right system for the kind of play you are looking for. Either that or Im just bad at modifying systems for different kinds of play <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
