Popularity[]
Thanks to the Event the Infinite Worlds setting (and therefore GURPS itself) has become wildly popular among the tabletop RPG crowd to the point that GURPS is regarded as the second most popular pen and paper RPG system (D&D is still top dog despite how unpopular 4e of that system is) and the most popular RPG supplement even among those that don't actually use the GURPS system (Resulting in the Internet meme of "GURPS, the most popular RPG you will likely use only as a supplement/expansion to what you already use.")
