Simplifying GURPS - Builds without Points

Reminds me a bit of some old roleplaying systems in Swedish. Eon (Fantasy) & Neotech (Sci-fi).

In both of them you roll up basically your entire character, what race are you? Gender? Age? Who are your parents? What is your background?

There are a few points where players can make decisions (race, and profession f.ex.), but generally you're stuck with what you roll up. The power level of characters can end up quite different as a result, but rolling up characters through endless tables is actually quite fun.

Such systems can be nice for players who can't come up with good characters, though as an experienced roleplayer & GM I'd rather come up with most of my character myself.
