Message: <blockquote data-quote="Swanosaurus" data-source="post: 9786176" data-attributes="member: 7044220">It's a feature, but it also entails something really intimidating about GURPS. I mean, if I want to create an intelligent spider that communicates by tapping its feet, I will probably able to create that in GURPS, but it might be a logistical nightmare not only to build that character, but to also keep an eye on what all of its advantages and disadvantages actually do in play, right? (Not sure, though - It's been been decades since I've actually played GURPS for the last time, and that was 3rd edition). While there are rules light system like Fate (I keep mentioning it, even though it's far from my favourite system) that allow me to do that without having to define what all of that stuff does - when it comes up, it will simply be advantageous or disadvantegous to me, and that's it.Not that either was the wrong way, it's just that, for example, on the one hand GURPS seems to be made for weird scifi with transhumanist themes, while on the other hand, I imagine that it would be prohibitively complex to juggle all the rules you'd be using.EDIT: At this point, I totally want to play GURPS again. I just remembered how great a concept Banestorm is. Also, I read around on the sjgames website and realized that they seem to be a pretty cool company ... just read their freelancer FAQ (accessible <a href="https://www.sjgames.com/gurps/" target="_blank">here</a>), and it is both funny, crystal clear and has just the right things to say about content.</blockquote>
