Default Re: GMs -- Don't we all want to roll our own?

I actually just recently quit World Of Darkness, I dont agree with how Werewolves are portrayed there, and I just dont want to play in that companies vision of their world. First thing I thought was GURPS, and making my own setting. Another thing I cant stand, if you dont buy all of the settings materials, you can contradict the whole setting, so when you do pick something else up, your like... "oh, great".

Theres always something wrong in some setting that I dont like, and to me, if I change one thing, I might as well change it all, or create my own.

Creating gameworlds is a big part of the fun of being a GM, I wouldnt want to keep paying someone to do what I would do for free and personaly enjoy.

I started with gurps 3ed, so its hard to try to play something else when I read their settings. Its like reading a competeting GMs ideas, and I tend to critize it as so.

I do buy world settings from gurps though, they usually have ideas on how to change things to your likings, and I do need some worldbooks to get ideas and learn to write my own when it comes to structure, timeline, and other important factors for creating a setting.
