While I'm not sure if this goes here, I can't think of anywhere else to put it..
Anyone heard of the
GURPS roleplaying system?
It looks awesome, just awesome.
The level of character customization possible is amazing.
Want an example? The basic book I'm glancing through has a few Example Characters.
They include a Death Drone turned Buddhist Monk, A sneaky thief from a medieval world (Who can teleport), A gentlemanly captian from mars, a British magic using conspiracy theorist, an Elvish ranger, a martial artist who's out for revenge againsth a world-ranging crime organization, an aristocratic vampire and a genetically altered mechanic from a very crappy world.
And all these people are on the same "Team".
And all of that from the
basic book.
“She'd become a governess. It was one of the few jobs a known lady could do. And she'd taken to it well. She'd sworn that if she did indeed ever find herself dancing on rooftops with chimney sweeps she'd beat herself to death with her own umbrella.”
