GURPS: 3rd Ed.

Over the years i've tried MANY RPG systems, Choasism-TSR-White Wolf-etc...but everytime i started to REALLY get into a single system, i'd tire of it and move on. Then i'd have to learn a completely NEW system, buy new books, find new players....and after years of that i found GURPS.
SYSTEM

GURPS can be as simple as a single 3d roll, or as complicated as you want it. [Bleeding rules? we got 'em! ]And also like you've heard before, GURPS truly can be adapted to ANY setting with the right amount of tinkering. One week you can be in "EVIL DEAD" [the best horror movie ever.. that wasn't made by the master, Lucio Fulci] and the next, you can be a fuzzy cute bunny or a gun toting can o' spam or a quadrapilegic leprachaun on a moped....it now truly is YOUR choice [or your GM's:)]
THE ENDING

If you have a short attention span or just like a bit of variety in your RPG's, for god sake's get yourself some GURPS! With over 150 [!] world books....not to mention the one's you can adapt or create, you'll be a "GURP-a-HOLIC" in the time it takes to fill in a White-Wolf Character sheet.....ok...ok..maybe not THAT long:)

Style: 5 (Excellent!)
Substance: 5 (Excellent!)
