It’s not often that I share link to RPG.net, but this thread where Jürgen Hubert shares his expertise and enthusiasm for GURPS is really good, at least for the first seven pages or so.* I love reading posts by people who are both knowledgeable and passionate about their subject matter.

* One of may favorite things about the Forge was Ron’s moderation. I can’t really understand why RPG.net (and ENworld, too) are happy to let threads continue for hundreds of pages while simultaneously being totally useless. By page 8 this thread has basically become one guy asking for help building his Harry Potter campaign.
Because the purpose of rpg.net is conversation, and the purpose of the Forge was to help people with their game designs. They are both fit to their purposes; one, however, has no value.

Oh I think they both have value.

Jason Corley Maybe my issue is just the signal:noise ratio on RPG.net.
Conversation primarily has value when conducted over cups of coffee at a diner in the rain, or with those we care about. I suppose technically one day an electronic forum might create a sufficiently meaningful experience to make a conversation conducted there valuable in and of itself; in the same spirit as we might one day discover a version of stomach flu that is nothing but delightful and pleasant. But so far…
Until I met Primetime Adventures, I thought GURPS was the only RPG I would ever need. I’ve still got a big stack of the books, and every once in a while entertain the musing notion of trying a game of it, just to see how it runs these days. But I doubt anyone I know would be up for it. XD
