I'm aware of GURPS, and have used it a little. Most of the tabletop
gaming I do at the moment is Storyteller (White Wolf) based.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to be introducing Jammy Action Points to
whatever I use in the end.
The factor that bothers me with many systems I've seen is that it's
sometimes hard to work out what the actual percentage chance of you
achieving a task is. For this reason, I may go for a probability based
system utilising modifications on a single D20 roll.
Rolling vast pools of dice for Storyteller is great fun, but...
Martin
