This is coming from this thread and it's something I've been thinking about a bit.
It seems many of us see universal systems as not truly universal. That is each has a specific style and thus genres or settings it wouldn't work well with. So the idea of this thread is just to talk about that: Peoples' experience with universal systems and their limits.
For example: BRP and GURPS say are both universal systems, but how would their presentations of Cyberpunk, Fantasy or Horror differ? What particular genres would GURPS be bad at?
