Besides, there were suggestions given about the original topic - wouldn't a GURPS board be able to sustain a discussion of GURPS a bit longer and more vigorously than a D&D/d20 board? The original topic was very nebulous, which makes it tough to remain on-topic. I'm not saying to never try to discuss GURPS, or whatever game system, but you have to expect people here to begin discussing the main game the board was created to discuss, eventually. Call it a hijack if you want, but if a conversation evolves into something else from what it was originally, and remains civil, I think chastising folk for it is mean-spirited. I could see complaining if the discussion had devolved into spiteful argument, but it hasn't. So, to address Psionicist's original question - try Atomic Horror, which SJG just re-released. I always liked 1950s horror films, and the milieu is fun and familiar. Or, try to find GURPS The Prisoner, based on the British TV show from the 60s. But, to play it properly you'd really have to watch the show.</blockquote>
