Thoughts on this one

My main thoughts on this one were thoughts of relief. Skills and their permutations in GURPS are the heart of how the system plays, really. Finishing what was essentially a part two felt like an accomplishment. My favorite part was Che’s discussion and examples regarding the Reaction Table and how they parlay to social skills. The ease of use at the table of skill checks, the metric of when the GM or player make them to enhance In Character/As Character, the flexibility of opposed checks and the forgiving nature of the system when you “break the rules” never cease to amaze me.
