[QUOTE="NMatuzic, post: 5351817, member: 91666"] Hi, I am planning a new fantasy campaign soon with a bunch of friends. Originally I was thinking about running it in 4E D&D, but upon further reflection, I'm not so sure. There are a few reasons why, including (but not limited to): - Essentials & 4E, and all my confusion between the two - The computerisation influence on the 4E rules (ie, things seem to have taken a lot of influence from MMORPGs and the like, eg class "roles") - My own world setting, which leans more towards realism than the exaggerated heroism of D&D So basically I'm thinking about running it in some other gaming system. I recently played in a Star Wars GURPS game, and really enjoyed going in depth for character creation and then how suprisingly streamlined the game itself actually played. As such, I'm strongly considering a switch to running my campaign using GURPS. What I'd like to know is this: 1) Based on the (admittedly little) information I've provided, do you think GURPS is a better fit that D&D for my campaign? 2) I'm a fairly rusty DM, and have little experience (just the Star Wars game) of GURPS. Can I learn GURPS and run a decent campaign at the same time? Many thanks in advance for any help or suggestions. Please feel free to ask for more info if you need it to provide a better assessment.
