I've never done GURPS, but I've thought about it off and on. Hadn't gotten around to it - but as soon as these come out, I think I'm gonna take a quick dip. They look nice. (Plus, new edition. Loads of good stuff there.)
I have a friend who refuses to get anywhere near a book of GURPS, he says he cannot accept to play in a game with a name of a dog... I like GURPS for modern gaming.
