  The system should be thought out - that I agree on.

  But trying to use an existing RPG may not be the best method.  For example, in 
games where players sit around a table, Charisma may come into play a lot more. 
  Likewise, to say that how skills map in GURPS (or any other system) to their 
usefulness in crossfire probably is approximate at best.  Once again, 
personality stats can be much more important in LRPGs than crossfire where they 
really are not used much.
