Message: <blockquote data-quote="Goblyn" data-source="post: 1427262" data-attributes="member: 16889">I agree about this:GURPS is VERY mechanical; to the point where each round is 1 second long, you designate what kind of defense you're using(dodge vs block vs parry), every round, there is hit point locations, two numbers referencing armor(passive defense and damage resistance) ... GURPS is the definition of crunchy.BUT:I like the concepts used in the GURPS system ... everything made sense:  melee weapons all do similar damage in the hands of a certain character: instead of weapons' damage modified by the character's strength, it's the character's strength damage modified by the weapon's effectiveness.The supplements are what make it good; especially with the simplicity of the d20 system: I like the GURPS stuff, but I'm the only one I know willing to play GURPS ... so conversion is a snap.  I've Robots, Biotech, Ultratech, Magic, Grimoire, Fantasy Beastiary, Martial Arts  ... these all have cool ideas easily ported to d20.Oops, sorry for the long post.</blockquote>
