Update to one of my favorite RPGs. SJ Games tried to fix some of the flaws with 3rd edition here by they introduced a major one IMO, they split the Basic book in to 2 volumes. This now increases the initial investment t o get new players into the system and playing. If you can look beyond that, it is a good update.
This is a great example of game writing...a really mature, well-written, carefully thought out and very sensible rpg. It's miles from the high-fantasy stuff I'm more used to, but it has a ton of useful crunch--crunch that I think doesn't have to get in the way of play that way it sometimes can. I think it will be ideal for the gritty, more realistic stuff I'm working on now. Looking forward to trying it out soon.
GURPS is the best roleplaying system there is, and GURPS 4.0 improves on some of the problems of the earlier versions.
Great, modern RPG system.
