Opal Posted February 6, 2023 Report Share Posted February 6, 2023 I mean, I could picture Princess Bride as GURPS more readily than D&D. Scott Ruggels 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted February 6, 2023 Report Share Posted February 6, 2023 It's more Hero than either. A fencing duel featuring different martial arts styles? A giant who does more with his PRE than his STR? Count Rugen's machine that's basically a long term END drain? Inigo making an EGO roll to continue the fight with Rugen? But then again most things are more Hero than either GURPS or D&D, because those are inferior systems for inferior people.

Opal Posted February 6, 2023 Report Share Posted February 6, 2023 Hero, you can model anything. So I rarely see something and think "that screams Hero." I was exposed to the very first version of GURPS, so I think of it as a Skill based system. Magic and tech - even guns, came later. So a fencer who blew all his points on DEX & fencing, a strongman who poured everything into STR, and a more rounded, more efficiently built character better than either of them - and the villains. Yeah, checks out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again most things are more Hero than either GURPS or D&D, because those are inferior systems for inferior people. Or more like a novice Hero GM. The two different fighting styles are really the same. The Giant was supposed to have more strength, what was I thinking? And I didn’t think the PC would have that high of a PRE. This machine will kill you! Dude, that’s an END Drain, I’ll make me really tired but still, not as deadly as you thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a player some years ago come up with a 1d6 RPG he called "Yes or No." I won'r attwmpt to detail it on this interface, but while it falls _deeply_ into "rules light," it was the absolute moar dun when being playws specifically to exploit it's flaws.
