But it does fit the format, as everybody else is completely an utterly shocked that this one person is not queer or traumatized, and they are responding to the fact that he had said that he only played for fun and to be zany. I literally have no idea what you're talking about.

I'm a GURPS fanboy. Complexity is determined entirely by how many rules the GM and players agree to - I've got a player with dozens of skills and several wonky abilities who plays side by side with an 8-skill player. They both do well, and both have what they want - one character is just more detailed than the other. The trick with GURPS is to pull in the bare minimum of rules that you need for the kind of game you want. If you don't like how a rule works? Swap it out! I've enjoyed the Ironsworn line too, for a different feel. That's a much less complicated system that can also be played GM-less, it works narrative elements into the engine - the story dictates how the rules apply!

This whole problem is such an archaic D&D-ism. Most other games provide strong guidance or even explicit rules about how to make a party that works. Fate has the "phase trio" where you go around and make up as a group how your characters have a past together. None of this "everyone makes their dude in isolation" nonsense.

V3, your eyeballs are only visible when your eyes are open.

So in this game characters are 'actors'? Not necessarily a bad thing, but I've learned to associate new terminology for familiar concepts with fantasy heartbreakers. Hope Sol Tyrannus has more legs to it than that.

@aaron.rupar more lies. There is no way Eric Trump has 4 friends.

Odd response, since they don't need to walk to send messages like this.
