Quote from: RPGPundit;452190Really? I ran GURPS 3e and I can't really remember that.  Of course, this was over 10 years ago, so its not that I'm calling you a liar or anything. You'd just think I'd remember if there had been such a thing...selective memory, i guess.

Yup. Chapter 11 in the revised core book. It's short, easy to miss, at only two pages.  Also, I think the revised tables are simpler than in the older printing. I don't have a copy of the original book to compare at the moment, so that might be me misremembering.

Eliot, have you looked at Caverns and Creatures?  http://tailkinker.contrabandent.com/Caverns.pdf

It's obviously focused on fantasy, but the chargen process, while technically still using the same point system underneath, does sort of confine the process into packages and some randomness so as to prevent the usual option shock.

I would say fix the layout and the character creation.

I bought the 4th edition books and things were so poorly laid out and explained that I gave up on the system and sold the books.
