Disclaimer: GURPS is owned by Steve Jackson. I just play it. The banner above was made by copying-and-pasting the image from the GURPS site. I only did so to use as a link to the GURPS site.
I've recently become interested in GURPS --Generic Universal Role Playing System. Basically, that means that, anything you can think of, you can create characters and scenarios and play them. It's like a Western version of Big Eyes, Small Mouth, the Anime Generic RPG. And you could probibly play anime characters in GURPS, too.
I got interested in GURPS when I was looking for an RPG that could be used to create any character or scenario. BESM was the first such RPG that I obtained. I does well, but is more for anime than anything else. What I needed was something that I could use for absolutely anything.
That's where GURPS came in.
The first GURPS book I got was GURPSLite (find the link at the official GURPS site, in the links.). But I wasn't prepared to print up 32 pages. Lucky for me, then, that I found an affordible copy of the Third Edition of the Basic rules at The Great Escape, a comics shop I frequent. I got a bonus, too: The copy I have is signed by Steve Jackson, the guy that created GURPS!
