GURPS 4e Recruiting

Okay, I have not decided exactly what kind of game I want to run with GURPS.
We'll discussing that in detail in this thread.
Currently, I'm leaning towards three possible types of game;
1) a Dungeon Fantasy game that starts off with an urban adventure before branching out into a sandboxy style campaign.
2) a Banestorm campaign centring around your characters being assassinated seemingly at random and then being resurrected somewhere else as prisoners of a mysterious conspiracy.
3) a modern day horror and mystery game, where the characters are exploring a strange and remote mountainside area where apparent supernatural occurences are being reported.
Anyway, if interested in a GURPS game, be sure to list what books you got and what kind of game you'd like to play - not just the genre, but the kind of mood and plotting.
Over to you guys!

The second post was just an error on my part...
However, there's seems to be no other interested forum users other than you.
I played GURPS once or twice probably...oh....15 years ago? So it might take me a bit to get into it.
What do you think?
I just looked up banestorm too and that sounds pretty cool, but mystery/horror still is my first choice.
That means all we have to do is get Korsahn to come back to the boards, and we can resurrect the 4e game!
Also thanks for the link. I'll download it tonight and actually read when I'm not drinking
Edit: On a side note I know I need to change my tag since non of those games are running anymore but I REALLY don't want to!
what do you think?
Now onto the topic of this discussion...I read the GURPS lite rules and would totally be down for it. I'm sure any specific books that I need I can either get at my local shop or find a pdf version online somewhere.
Who else is down?
Play by post, on these boards.
You're playing 150-point characters, with up to -50 points of disadvantages and 5 quirks.
TL 8, modern day.
Realistic characters with no supernatural or cinematic traits.
Equipment may be subject to restrictions, depending on the character. No Patrons or Duty is required, as you're all just basically mercenaries at this point.
Recommended books: High Tech, Tactical Shooting, Martial Arts, Horror and Mysteries.
The setting's local CF: Western
Local Language: English
Characters are 'private security forces' hired by a wealthy industrialist to check out the Blue Mountains area in search of the industrialists' missing brother (a man called Lucas Kincaid), who seems to be trapped in a mysteriously quarentined part of the Blue Mountains area.
The government have not released details on the nature of the 'disaster area lockdown', but it seems that no communication in or out of the disaster area is possible, as the disaster has apparently knocked out vital infrastructure. What few details can be scoured from the scattered reports of fleeing survivors, many believe some sort of supernatural creatures have begun attacking the towns around the mountains at night. The lockdown started three days ago, and it has been five days since Kincaid last contacted anyone. Kincaid was on vacation at the Blue Haze luxury resort in the town of Mount Victoria at the time.
Backgrounds of PCs may include treasure hunters, expert survivalists, ex-police, ex-military, explorers, bounty hunters, career criminals and other individuals used to danger and 'adventure'. They have been sent into the disaster zone as a search and rescue effort, carefully bypassing the national guard's blockades and into the town of Mount Victoria via the Great Western Highway. Whatever the truth of the disaster, Kincaid is to be brought back to Sydney safe and sound.
I say again, the game is set in the Blue Mountains area in Australia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Mountains.
I'll download the lite version if I can get a seat
