Re: (TFT) HT's views on complexity

In my GURPS book (3E) I seem to recall SJ mentions the inspiration for GURPS
coming from TFT and Champions.  Which I think describes GURPs pretty neatly.
When I am next upstairs I'll look for the quote.

I've also heard rumors that SJ was a contributor to the early Champions

Here's Wikipedia page on Hero Games: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hero_Games

There's no evidence that SJ collaborated, at least before Champions came
out. Also, Austin is a fur piece from San Mateo, and it appears SJ was in
Houston prior. But the gaming circles were smaller, so anything's possible.
