Default Returning to GURPS

I haven't played GURPS in a while but I have off and on for years. We're thinking of running a Supers game sometime soon (relative term, whenever my current Pathfinder game wraps up) and I've been looking to see what is new in the world of GURPS. I put some thoughts on my blog and figured I'd share them with people here.

Yeah, 4E does supers very, very well. I played in a supers game, and it was a blast. (My character was a luck-power based character who was really fun to play.) If you want recommendations, I suggest you get Powers and Supers, the former being more important than the latter.

I agree with nanoboy, and highly recommend several others: Power-Ups 1: Imbuements, if you wish to have someone like Gambit who can charge up anything, or Yondu who can make arrows change course in mid-flight; Power-Ups 2: Perks, for a snotload of flavorful little extras; Psionic Powers, for a bunch of premade easy-to-insert abilities and several new modifiers; and Martial Arts, for the expanded combat options. The -Tech books are also handy for equipping your characters - or your super-team. I don't have them yet myself, but the Action! books are also highly recommended by others on the forums.

And, if your players are like my old gaming group, when you ask for "supers" they give you a party of half-demon sorceresses, genies, half-angels, leather-clad flaming skeleton bikers, and other supernatural entities, Magic and Thaumatology come in very handy.

I second this. In my game, Imbuements was also used to simulate uber-presure points of the Fist of the North Star flavour

The game we'll be playing is a low powered (300 points) Lucha Libra Supers game, so Martial Arts will definitely be used.
