I have never played GURPS myself. It looks like a wet dream for Game Masters
that love to overprepare.

GUPRS feels like the Gentoo of RPGs in that they don't give you a system which
is ready to go out of the box: they give you a massive set of tools, and you
combine modules from here and there to make what you need.

It is the sort of thing I would pick if I had comitted players, just like
Rolemaster. If you have players who want to play a month long mini-campaign and
then want to try another system, you cannot really bet on one that takes too
long to prepare.
