Re: Skills
I would totally buy a "GURPS according to Kromm" book. Seriously. Like right now, I'd buy it.

Re: Skills
If you did, I would buy each one of them. I have found the adventuring sections of DF, Action!, and MH to be most useful of GMing tools because of the connection of skills to tasks. Highly recommend more of that -- perhaps a large, detailed, generic GMing book?

Also, usually for any particular problem, there's likely to be one or two skills that are spot-on appropriate, and half a dozen other skills that make some sense to use in that context, usually at a -1 to -3 penalty. And beyond that there are defaults, both from attributes and from other skills. You can also try to take a look at the GURPS Skill Categories, available for free from e23 (if I remember correctly). |

I would like to add that in an episode of The Simpsons, Bart steals a book of research notes (I think) from Lisa and makes a ransom demand to give it back, saying words to the effect of "I have hidden it where you will never find it". Instead of caving, Lisa just runs off and retrieves the book from wherever it was hidden - to Bart's great disappointment. In this case, perhaps, Lisa got to roll vs Psychology in order to predict where her brother would hide such a thing. |

Re: Skills
The thread that never dies, but it seems appropriate:
What skill DO you use to "go through the cabinets" of a room looking for something?
