When discussing gurps it's always for my own satisfaction. :) I have yet to get over my anxiety disorder enough to game for very long. It is ironic that building gurps-y stuff relaxes me.
I like to categorize my musings into gritty realism, low fantasy, and over the top everything goes world hopping adventure.
I suppose large but unusually sociable spiders works for the realism. Now I'm trying to figure out how to make a low fantasy spider-like PC race.
