It seems like it's trying to be like GURPS but stuff even more into the core game.

There is enough material to run a genre-specific game however Chaosium's setting detail has always been especially good for its specific games. I believe there are plans for extra supplements along this line. Your comment that this is bit like GURPS+ is not inaccurate.

Yes, you're right; I couldn't remember the actual name when I wrote the review and was hoping someone might pick me up on it if I got it wrong. Well done.

In my defense I went via this title:
