[QUOTE="TreChriron, post: 6504981, member: 5046"] On the subject of "Savage Worlds is eating up GURPS 4e market because #oldness" - no. No no no. SW is a light fast game. This market is largely comprised of aging adults who no longer have time to prep or deal with complex games. Not only is SW lighter and faster to pick up, but plot point campaigns are catered to this exact demographic - "the busy GM". The only people who complain about release schedules or release content are current fans disappointed in the release schedule (not enough!!) or content (PDF only, not enough!). On the OP subject...
