Once, I set up a sci-fi game using Ultra-Lite over play-by-post, which fell apart after the entire group realized before we’d even begun character creation that they didn’t really have the time. Twice, I’ve tried to run a Space campaign that fell apart because my home group just doesn’t view gaming as a priority. I’ve run four campaigns, and frankly, many of those were failures for exactly the same reason that many of my games were failures when I found myself in a bad enough place to turn to GURPS in the first place. The other was a Fantasy game, with low points, and was the GM’s first time running in English, which was pretty interesting. I’ve played in two games, the very first of which I’ll address below. It only solves one problem, and it’s the big one: It’s stable, and it’s there for me, and whatever I want out of a game, I can make that happen with GURPS. But at the same time, I didn’t have a long “honeymoon phase” where I thought it was the solution to all my problems. It’s not monogamous I can play around with other systems, and there’s no need to be jealous. GURPS, for me, is like a stable friendship. Like some kind of True Love in a storybook, they want the heavens to part and the game to force them to have a good time. I think a lot of people are looking for that. The one that, when I play it, every problem in my day-to-day life goes away and I’m finally just happy. I’m still searching for the “perfect” system. Every new, shiny thing that I see, I want.
