The two groups are so alike as to be indestinguishable. One of the GURPS players went so far as to pull a starter box of D&D out of a child's hands at Borders, it made me feel ashamed to be a gamer.The Rifts fanatics that I have met on the other hand have been quiet folk, just very insular, having nothing to do with other systems, and not trying to bring people into the One True Game (tm). I may not like the system, but I have no problems with the players. The comparisons to religion can be quite acute in regards to both games and operating systems...The reason to take the risk is the chance of increasing market share. WotC took a chance with the OGL, and it paid off. Others have not been so fortunate, but sometimes it is worth taking the risk.The Auld Grump</blockquote>
