Welcome!

Some folks were complaining that there's nothing being written about GURPS anymore. And I spend way, way too much of my time thinking about the system and about ways to use it, to keep all of that in my head any longer.

So I ginned up an email address and a blogger site, and will set to work writing, hopefully daily, about the ins and outs of my favorite game system, GURPS.

If you're new to the system, let me break it down a bit.

Generic Universal RolePlaying System. Man, that's terrible. Even the developers agree, though - it was an internal code name, a temporary name they assigned to the rules while they were looking for something better, and over time it just stuck. But it is descriptive. You can play any kind of game (sci-fi, fantasy, superheroes, etc) and in any world or universe (from fiction, from a RPG company, or from your own fevered imagination) with the same system, every time. Master GURPS and you never need another game system, no matter what you choose to do with it.

So that's what we'll be talking about here. Rules questions and clarifications, examples of play, recommendations and reviews - all about GURPS.

So buckle up!
