Our attempts to get him to join a GURPS game were... Memorable.

Alternate dice variations in GURPS are common...
one that I've used myself was 1d10+1d8, moving the 3/4/5 specials to the 2/3/4, keeping the 16/17/18 at same. It's a good bit wilder than 3d6...
2d10, moving 3/4/5 to 2/3/4 and 16/17/18 to 18/19/20 has been used by a fairly large number of players
using 3d20 keep middle gets a better bell, but moves 3/4/5 to 1/2/3, and 16/17/18 to 18/19/20, it decreases the odds slightly at typical 15 skill from 92.5% to 84.3%
