RPG Differences

celticdragonfly is helping me do a final polish on the GURPS adventure I'm writing. She wanted me to put in more sample characters. I tried to explain why I was avoiding that:

Creating characters is work. I think this is how GURPS promotes more realistic behavior:

D&D Player: I'll never talk! Go ahead, kill me, I'll have a replacement rolled up in 20 minutes!

GURPS Player: Please don't kill me, I'll tell you everything, I used five different books making this character.

I love it.

So true.

Rolemaster is even worse. Heaven hope those who are slain!

I like Fudge. Plus we sometimes play Fudge with roll-em-as-you-go characters--if a situation comes up and you want to be the one to handle it, suddenly you've decided what skills you want.
