I enjoy an occasional game.

I actually own the game, but I've not yet played it. :-\

It's becoming very clear that some of you have never actually played munchkin.

I haven't but I'm going to look it up at some point.


Wonder if there's a TTS version of it yet......   ^-^

You'd know better than I, then. I don't know Fate.

I had an opportunity to write a Civil War sourcebook for GURPS about ten years ago, but I had to decline as I didn't know the system well at all.

If it's anything similar to GURPS, it'll be awesomely modular.  :dreamer:

You can pick up a free or pay what you want copy of fate here: http://www.faterpg.com

A physical hard cover version of the core rules is like $20-25.  There are a bunch of different settings using the rules available too.  It's not a bad system and is great for people who don't like the spread sheet messiness of GURPS.

FATE is definitely an interesting system.

I've only peeked into it via the Dresden Files RPG

What about we let Gus repeatedly kick you in the shins?

Wondering whether Genesys got it's name from an author's favorite stripper's name.. or watching too much Wrath Of Khan.

You can never watch too much Wrath of Khan so it can't be that.
