DAmn, I just finally got around to getting GURPS core rules...

Thanks for the warm welcome, it was very exciting to find a list 
dedicated to this great game setting.

That's a great attitude. I think highly of BRP too, but I just love the
 
flexibility GURPS gives in setting and character design. In general, I 
agree with David that the setting is the key thing and we should 
facilitate whatever set of rules people prefer. Hopefully, conversions 
to other rules systems will draw new players to the setting too.

Good question. I started this last year and had to drop the project due
 
to pressure of work and family life. I had done a few race conversions 
and started looking at skills, careers, advantages and disadvantages. 
The technology side is a real challenge, and I didn't get far with that
 
at all. I hadn't even begun to consider psionics. I think that what I 
will do is try and contribute background material to David's site and 
this list, while working on the GURPS stuff to get it to some sort of 
critical mass. When it gets there. I have a web domain where I plan to 
publish the GURPS conversion, hopefully complimenting David's work.

I am a bit of a gear head, so that'd be very interesting indeed. Let me
 
have a think and look through my old project notes to see what I can 
contribute quickly and then what is the best way to proceed. I was 
also working on a description of Canyon as an adventure setting, 
perhaps that's the place to start? I also have to consider my response 
to SJ Games recent announcement of a heavily revised GURPS 4th edition,
 
due for release this August. That means a new psionics system, new 
vehicles supplement, the works...
