[QUOTE="BronzeDragon, post: 7875497, member: 873"] Damn, OP, you can really pick'em... GURPS Supers is [B]the[/B] worst possible GURPS iteration. It does powers very poorly, and I've never seen it play well at the table. The system is exceptional at handling realistic games. GURPS WW2 is amazingly well done and runs like a dream in actual play. GURPS Space wouldn't be my first pick (Traveller all the way), but it still plays well. GURPS Vikings, Ancient Rome, Middle Ages, all of those play really well. As someone put it before, GURPS is a toolkit. It presents you with a great deal of options, but you have to be savvy enough to get yourself organized around what you actually want from the system. The sourcebooks tend to provide that organization, and are often exceptionally well-researched. But if you really wanna go Supers, just get FASERIP or DC Heroes. A lot fewer headaches and systems actually designed around the interaction of powers. [/QUOTE]
