[QUOTE="Lord Rasputin, post: 3566575, member: 8410"] I had a similar moment of truth. Throughout the Nineties, I used AD&D 2e for fantasy, GURPS for everything else. (Especially Space. I first bought GURPS in 1990 in large part because GURPS Space was so damn cool.) My AD&D 2e patches more and more resembled GURPS ... so I just threw in the towel and used GURPS. (My breaking point, incidentally, was Active Defenses rolls for D&D.) Actually, I wound up in between games for an extended period, running an isolated game from time to time, so by the time I wound up in a regular fantasy game again, D&D 3e was out, and it was much cleaner than earlier versions. So now I have a dichotomy. If I want to run something other than fantasy, I run GURPS. For fantasy, if the game is just whacking something, I just use D&D. Otherwise, I run GURPS for fantasy. Good thing I'm not into superheroes, however, because I'd be in a choice of least bad system. (Actually, I think I'd run BESM, which would make a good Star Wars as well.) [/QUOTE]
