[QUOTE="TGryph, post: 2065172, member: 19651"] [b]Harp vs Gurps[/b] Well I am currently GM'ing a HARP campaign on Saturday Nights and soon starting a Gurps Fantasy campain on the occasional Sunday. Here is my 2 cents... Harp.. 1) Feels like D&D done right. While it has levels and Professions, they are WAY loose definitions, almost guidelines, to character creation. Very customizible. 2) Has much math (albeit simple addition and subtraction). Kinda drags out combat a bit. 3) Need to reference charts for combat on every hit. 4) Requires a bit more bookeeping on the GM's part, what with stuns and bleeding and such. 5) Has a more High Fantasy. Cinematic feel (at least to me). 6) Has a GREAT experience system, a solid magic system, and Wonderful support. 70 Easy to convert the myriad of D20 products to use with the system Gurps... 1) Is far more gritty and lethal. Combat probably not as frequent 2) Has great roleplaying potential in the Traits, Advantages, Quirks, etc. 3) Is very customizable..(Harp is too, but Gurps starts basic and you can add what you want, esp Combat options). 4) Can be quickly switched to other genres for a change. 5) Can be overwhelming, esp to D20 folks. 6) Is more expensive than Harp (MSRP $75 vs $20 for core rules) 7) Has a more Gritty, Low Fantasy Feel to it.
