Grex Amalgam Item 10: Hail GURPS: RPGs for DIYs.

Did GURPS get its own item yet?

I'm sure many hardcore gamers are at least familiar with GURPS-- I 
believe it stands for Generic Universal Role Play System.  The system 
has books for different categories, SUPER Gurps (for superheroes), 
Horror, Cyberpunk, GURPS (covers D&D), etc.

Best example I saw of someone using the system was an anime fan friend 
of my wife's.  This guy named Chay Temple used GURPS rules to create a 
Ranma 1/2 game.  He later expanded on it to Tenchi Muyo, which also 
allowed crossovers.  We three played it together and with others at 
Dragonflight Con at Seattle U, and I found it impressive.

by the way, the ideas for my grex IDs (lumen and jaklumen) come from an 
unplayed character I made for Super GURPS.  Jack Lumen is an Australian 
superhero with lightning speed and ability to talk to Aussie animals.
