Default Re: When to homebrew and when to use the system?

GURPS is a system, and it encourage you to change it to your heart's desire. To answer your question, it is all depending on what you want in your campaign, you want a gritty horror game where death is in every corner, use all the optional realistic gritty rules from the basic set and use the fright table a lot, or a cinematic martial arts campaign, allow Trained by a Master and include cinematic moves and actions. This is just scratching the tip of the iceberg but GURPS allows you to play every theme.

If you are also asking how much home brewing, it depends on your theme, GURPS is based on reality so the more different it is from that reality in both physics and theme, the more home brewing is required.
