That makes two of us. I haven't looked at GURPS, so I don't know
what it's like, but I(we?) could really use something that combined a bit
more detail than the possibility of specializing in an MA, without any
difference in effect, and kept it relatively simple, so that unarmed
combat didn't turn into a week-long production....
