GURPS & Paizo

[Peter Knutsen]

Doesn't the majority of those who GM or play class-and-level-based system consider GURPS to have cooties? After all, you have to do "math", and so forth, in order to play GURPS. It may well be that the guys behind Pathfinder are well aware of the public perception issue, and want to avoid contaminating their brand name...

It's really none of your business what discussions may or may not have gone on behind the scenes between any two potential licensing partners, much less the reasons behind them. (Particularly when the reasons are as offensive as stated here.)

And with that, the thread is closed.
