I no longer care to cobble my own together from suggested primary, secondary and background skills and then match it up against other character types that are suitable to the same genre. I thought I might get that in the few genre books I bought - nope. I guess what I'm asking for is pared down, genre-based skill lists.It's too much lifting IMO for the GM for a session zero. And I don't want my more creative, enthusiastic players getting bogged down and burnt out on reading through the 350+ skills, whether it be while initialy building, or going through character development. And man oh man, could someone at SJG please improve the layout of character templates - IMO those are near to butt ugly. And while they're at it here'd be a novel idea; a bit of artwork depicting at least some of the templates.I can't argue that the core mechanics of GURPS is solid, but the execution of them into published books is IMO poor.</blockquote>
