If you are not familiar with #RPGaDay, then please read this page first. For the 26th day of #RPGaDay the question is:
Which RPG provides the most useful resources?
My tweeted answer is: #RPGaDay 26, #RPG since knowledge is power #GURPS. The amount of information in #GURPS is astounding!
Since a group can stick to a single system and have fun for years, they would likely want a recommendation about a resource specifically targeted to that system. I think my answer could still prove useful to them. I am a fan of reading and playing many systems, to keep expanding my mental RPG-toolkit, and I believe GURPS is amazing at this.
Whilst many games provide great resources, I decided to choose GURPS, because I have used the books for many years primarily as reference material. You could summarise my thinking with the classic statement: knowledge is power. Many systems have their specialities, and they can all be great inspiration, it’s just I think GURPS does this better than others, and with such a broad range of topics.
As the tabletop hobby continues its ponderous embrace of computer technology, each year I wonder what new things will be released? The same could be said for RP technology, understanding, and presentation of RPGs. Since there seems to be so much happening these days, I am quite looking forward to reading other people’s answers for today.
