Two bundles for GURPS from Steve Jackson Games - GURPS 4th edition essentials, which was in a bundle in June, and the all-new GURPS 4E Horror.
( Essentials )
( Horror )
It's GURPS, which means a very well-supported rules set with a ton of material out there. I wouldn't personally say that it's necessarily the best horror system out there, that's still probably Call of Cthulhu and derivatives, but it's got a lot going for it if you want to have horror as just one element of your gaming while sticking to a single rules set.
In June I said GURPS is probably the most popular generic RPG rules set, designed to be readily adapted to any setting. It's reasonably easy to pick up, though there are other games out there that easier to learn, and has a vast range of support material available. This Essentials offer is aimed at people who don't already own the game at all - I own most of it already in dead tree format, the exceptions are things that simply don't interest me much such as the Mass Combat supplement. If you don't already own it, and want a very adaptable rules set, it's well worth a look.
I think that still applies.
