[QUOTE="Jürgen Hubert, post: 3489071, member: 7177"] I, too, will try to sell GURPS. Check. The basics of the GURPS rule system are quire simple. You can download [URL=http://e23.sjgames.com/item.html?id=SJG31-0004]GURPS Lite[/URL], a 32-page condensed version of the GURPS system, for free. It only covers playing mundane humans without supernatural powers, but that in itself still covers a wide range of people from throughout history. The GURPS Basic Set has a lot more detail - but most of that is optional and not needed for most campaigns. Well, GURPS Lite is free. I suggest running a horror adventure set in the modern day or a historical period with it - if the PCs don't have supernatural powers, this will be entirely sufficient. The two books of the Basic Set do require some more investment, but it's a reasonable amount - and these two books cover a far wider range of genres than D&D. Not required, though if you want to use them, GURPS covers that too. That's where GURPS shines - it can cover pretty much any genre you can imagine, and does gritty and cinematic equally well. The only genre where I have my doubts about GURPS 4E is a campaign with characters of truly cosmic powers (like when they are actual gods), but anything apart from that is doable. And like others have said, [URL=http://www.sjgames.com/gurps/books/]a large number of GURPS 3E worldbooks[/URL] are available for $10 apiece at the moment - a great price for almost all of them. Most can be converted to GURPS 4E with a minimum of effort. [/QUOTE]
