Agree, but the Pudding Errant makes a good point about stripdownability of GURPS. "Pointless" charbuild where GURPS is just a description language rather than a chargen algorithm is less odious.

My habit is to use ForeSight where-ever possible, but only I think two of you have copies, and only I am familiar with it.
Agreed. I would be willing to pick it up if everyone wanted it, however.

I wonder whether something really simple such as BESM or FUDGE might be best, though I'm not very familiar with them.
No BESM experience. I find FUDGE to be a pretty useful high level description language (heck, I ran a FUDGE game last night), but sometimes bemoan it's granularity. I don't think that particular problem is a big one in PBP though.
