GURPS Basic Set - Steve Jackson

Steve Jackson took a good crack at a system to cover the basics of any type of gaming with having a few generic abilities, and basic it around skills, and just some garden variety dice, and not many of. A lot faster and easier to use than something like the HERO system, so points for that, and there are a huge number of decent and interesting supplements if you want to delve in depth into any one setting. 4 out of 5
