The bundle most likely to be useful to non-GURPS players is probably infinite worlds, which contains quite a bit of worldbuilding stuff. City Stats in particular is not so GURPS-specific that it can't be used to give meaningful characteristics to cities in other games.

The space bundle contains quite a bit of universally useful material as well. But if all you want is a really good set of star system creation rules, the author of the star system creation rules in GURPS Space has written his own book with updated information from more recent scientific discoveries, called Architect of Worlds (available from Ad Astra Games either directly or on Drive-Thru).

The very rough idea would be something like ability + skill determines dice pool. This would be on an individual level. However, it is certainly possible during situations where a player gets an advantage on their roll and then specifies that the advantage helps the next player. This could be as simple as granting an advantage die to that player.

It is credited with Uwe Rosenberg as a co-designer, which piqued my interest. Does anyone have any other info on this game other than what's listed on BGG?

As mentioned, such a system allows the player to determine how much they want to succeed at the cost of having a potentially negative side effect. This gives the player control, but it also might not be suitable for every situation. This could be modified by the GM allowing a bonus die or a bane die to be rolled to alter the odds of an advantage or disadvantage.

Before I explore this idea further, I thought I would see what people think.

Hi-
(A dice conversation seems vaguely familiar...)

FWIW- It seems like players may get too bogged down into arguing/discussing what dice do what when and where. For a single resolution. And then repeat again in 5 minutes. And then in another 5 minutes. And after 30 minutes at the table, the party has progressed 10 feet and is still stuck in combat.

positive side effect as inverse of skill bugs me bigtime. would not play.


Is it the concept or that actual probabilities? That it, would you prefer that positive side effect probability increase with skill?

In Genesys, the chance of positive or negative side effects with success increase the more ability dice you roll. However, it tends to have a larger weight toward success with threat more than success with advantage.
