[QUOTE="Palaner, post: 2849869, member: 28679"] [b]Oh hell yes.[/b] Sorry to bump up an old thread, but I just have to say this. I am most fortunate to have such a great group of players. They were hardcore d20 fanatics until I showed them GURPS 4e. My god...I'm not trying to be overly hyperbolic, but I have never seen anyone so excited about a game, especially when all four of them are this excited. When I came to the door Wednesday afternoon, one of them answered, "The BOOK. I need the BOOK." He then explained that he needed to change part of his character concept...something I'd never see in the same way with D&D. The other two players who came in that day to make characters were also intentionally not told the other two's concepts...[i]because the latter didn't want them to be influenced.[/i] Dare I mention the conversation that took place that afternoon...no, there was no other conversation. The guys talked about nothing but GURPS for hours. They roared with laughter over hilarious combinations and were impressed with interesting concepts. There was some confusion about Innate Attacks, but they are willing to see how it plays out. Even after the character-building session I was receiving phone calls and IMs about what kinds of characters they wanted to play. I don't know about you guys, but I am proud and delighted that my players are already having a blast creating characters. We're going to play a Back to the Future game next week...I'll keep you posted on what happens. :) [/QUOTE]
