One thing I found is that I had an easier time learning FC then I did GURPS, but my gaming history started with ADnD and went to 3rd ed, so level based systems, and feats were probably more second nature to me then point costs and the like. You mentioned Battletech in your other thread, but I've not played it, so I can't compare the two.

Pawsplay sumarised the two systems basically how I would have, so I'll just ask what you're more comfortable with - level based systems, or free form point buy systems? If you started gaming with GURPS 2nd, you'd have less trouble making the leap to GURPS4e then to FC. I've wargamed on and off for the last 12 years This is indeed my first foray into the world of PnP RPG. The point of this thread is to help me decide on which system would be a better introduction to the world of pen and paper. Note: I have no doubt I will play both systems. Any feedback on this topic would be most welcome.
I'm certainly not trying to say one is better than the other, however I am trying to figure out what benefits each system will offer me both in the short term as well as long term. So I'm curious, to any of you folks who know both systems, what kind of things you feel FC does better than GURPS and vise versa. I originally purchased FC because I felt it would save me a lot of time and I could still indulge my worldbuilding tendencies. In the end though I'm afraid GURPS will take significantly longer to worldbuild in than FC will. I could go on about my love of GURPS and its many sourcebooks, the possibilities I feel it offers me, and how I feel it would be far easier to learn than FC. Today I came across and confirmed information that suggested FC may be more difficult to pickup than I had anticipated. Before looking into it myself I had heard great things about FC and world building. I want to world build more than anything else in a game system so writing or tools that help streamline or simply save time during this process are important to me. At any moment, he expected to feel barbed claws in his flesh.I was originally set to learn GURPS. But he could hear great wings behind him. He instantly turned on his heel and fled, without the hesitation that would have killed other men. Blake had served in the Great War, and he had spent most of the 15 years since it ended on expeditions to remote areas of Egypt he was used to danger. But on the night before his great discoveries were due to be unveiled to the public, he left the Metropolitan Museum of Art just in time to hear the screaming start, and what he saw swooping toward him banished his doubts completely.
He was a man who still doubted all those claims that he had heard about magic – even though some of them came from respectable scholars these days – and the socalled Secret Pharaoh seemed to him a joke in very poor taste.

He had received a series of demands, first subtle, then increasingly sinister, from that clandestine organization, but he had laughed at all of them.
INTRODUCTION It was when he saw two winged demons come howling down Fifth Avenue that Professor Blake realized that the Secret Kingdom was deadly serious about its threats.
