The sheer number of options is the best thing about Pathfinder. It's also the worst. (infosec.pub)

Laughs in GURPS

[–] toothpaste_ostrich@feddit.nl 3 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Oh man, I really tried it one time.... But I couldn't really wrap my head around it, nor get my players to learn it. Also I wanted some pre-made monsters to toss into an encounter... Couldn't find anything like that. You have to make every monster from scratch? I might be remembering that wrong.

There are a few places I've found with lots of prebuilt monsters for GURPS, though they aren't really consolidated in one place. I usually look through one if the following if I want something prebuilt:

the creatures of the night books (mostly solitary monsters you could design an adventure around, with suggestions for each one)
the fantasy bestiary (lots of generic and mythological monsters from all over the world, with stats and descriptions for each one)
dungeon fantasy monsters 1-3 (lots of monsters, kinda built with dungeon fantasy settings and power levels in mind)
the gurps repository also has tons of free and generic statblocks

You can do that in Dungeon Fantasy, which is basically just GURPS with a bunch of pre-made classes and stuff. But the strength of regular GURPS is the ability to handle any idea you can throw at it. It really shines when making your genre-bent homebrew come to life. Once you get comfortable with how the system scales things, you can really just wing it with monsters on the fly.
