I am not very fond of GURPS the rules,
but I love the sourcebooks they
put out and I use a few of them all the time.
What would you say are the best ones?
Lets see, the first coming to my mind are
Discworld
Old West
Cliffhangers
Cyberpunk
Biotech

That's what many folks say, but I've repeatedly been amazed at how intuitively and swiftly the game flows, once it's up and running.

My favourites would be:
Vikings
Horror (the revised one for third edition by Kenneth Hite)
Time Travel
Mecha
Planet Krishna

Discworld, and Cliffhangers are favourites, and the two Wild Cards books were
great in you were into the Wild Cards universe.
Considering Martin's clout a few years ago, I really wonder how Wild
Cards did not manage to take off the same way as Game of Thrones. There
was the whole rise of Superheroes as a cultural touchstone, and somehow
Wild Cards got the shaft.
I guess the rights are not as easy to handle as Marvel or DC,
considering all the contributors.

What, no Were-hawks? Considering the 80s release I'd assume that would
be something on everyone's mind.
- Were-Snakes (is that you Thulsa Doom?)
But is he really? He always seemed a bit more complex than that to me.
How was he statted for GURPS Conan?
Randomly generated Demons, Elementals, Familiars, Golems, Zombies,
Skeletons, Mummies and Skull-Spirits. Really, what more would you need?
To me that's genious level gurps on 110 pages.

I actually haven't followed Wild Cards for a while. I haven't heard
anything about new novels lately. Is it still going?
