Really? I always thought GURPS was simpler to learn and use, because
the overall structure was simpler. Everything is right there on the
character sheet, so even if you don't know all the possibilities, you
can still play a character pretty easily. With (A)D&D, you need to be
thoroughly familiar with the manuals, at least to the point of being
able to quickly find the specific arcane rule you need at that
particular moment.
