Default Re: Why isn't GURPS as popular as the D20 system and games

I don't think that's such a big deal, though. 2200 feats is a lot, but most people I've ever played with have a simple division of which books are allowed, which cuts the number down by a lot. Plus, most feats tend to require earlier ones, so when making a new first level character the choices are even fewer.

I'd love to play GURPS sometime. No one seems to run it in Denver, though. I've played little mini-campaigns, but they all seem to break down and stop in ways that D&D and Call of Cthulhu don't.
