[QUOTE="Azgulor, post: 2665159, member: 14291"] Um, no. Did you read my post? It has been my experience that GURPS combat (using Advanced combat) is faster than combat in d20 if you're doing anything other than "I roll to hit" (i.e. grappling, attack of opportunity, feats that introduce exceptions to standard rules, etc.). If your experience is the opposite, fair enough - could it be that you know d20 better than GURPS? I never see people post such an admission. It's always GURPS is slower - period. Perhaps I know GURPS better than d20, I play both with equal frequency so it's hard to say for sure and I can concede the possibility. But overall, GURPS plays faster in my group - in and out of combat. And as a fan of both GURPS and d20 (but I'm much less enamored of core D&D), I tried to provide specific examples of what GURPS does that I and my group enjoy and where I struggle with it as a system. I tried to do the same with D&D/d20. Therefore, I felt my opinions were more objective than the usual "GURPS rocks" / "GURPS sucks" threads. I [I]never[/I] said or implied that those who didn't agree with me were "GURPS haters". I also fail to understand how stating that it's a tough choice for me to pick between Conan and GURPS as my preferred system places me in the biased-GURPS-advocate camp. Azgulor [/QUOTE]
