I bought that Gurps book on EBay.
It has inspired my players to roll up and play Pscionic Characters (well, actually more like characters "With" pscionic talents).
The trouble is their desires to "Over use" their skills or do "Everything" with their mind powers.
They were very disappointed when they did not get everything they wanted during their dice rolling. They wanted to just choose 3 or 4 of the 6 trees to train in.
No Way (I said)...how fair will that be to everyother person you ever meet?
Ok...How about we set this campaign in the Zhodani consulate where almost everyone has these powers and most are better at them than you?
(after much grumbling) well, ok...We'll play these characters straight; just the way we roll them...
(Then came the 4 1/2 hour rolling session where they kept going until they each got the "Exact" charater they wanted to play)
What was the point?
They liked rolling that much?
They really wanted a survivable character?
They wanted a character that was created without manipulating the dice (as opposed to playing the odds by continuously rolling)?
Nope...the point was they were all actually having fun getting to the character they all wanted in the first place.
Yeah...I would do it all again...with them or another group...I also had a good time hanging out that day.

There hasn't been a GURPS Traveller: Psionic Institutes book before now, has there?
There's GURPS: Psionics, and there's a T4 supplement called Psionic Institutes. Is it one of those you've got Baron, 'cos if not I'm going to be heading for ebay myself

Notice he mentioned rolling up characters. There is no rolling in GURPS.
It is pretty obvious Baron had a minor brain-short and is referring to T4's Psionics Institutes.
There never has been a GURPS Traveller: Psionics Institutes before. However, this is apparently for real. I hope it is the first of several GURPS Traveller releases on e23.
