Have you read the series Slumrat Rising by Warby Picus? I think you might like it, since I get a somewhat similar vibe to your thoughts here as some of the philosophizing a bit later on in the series. It took me a bit through book one to see where things were heading, but things became clear after that, and it was entertaining enough before I got to that point.

congratulations

I think it just depends on what music you’re listening to. I wasn’t able to think of any songs I’ve been listening to in the last year or two that glorified the hustle, if anything they do the opposite. Here’s an example that came to mind when I saw this post: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1bW2MBdyLw

There are a few places I’ve found with lots of prebuilt monsters for GURPS, though they aren’t really consolidated in one place. I usually look through one if the following if I want something prebuilt:

• the creatures of the night books (mostly solitary monsters you could design an adventure around, with suggestions for each one)
• the fantasy bestiary (lots of generic and mythological monsters from all over the world, with stats and descriptions for each one)
• dungeon fantasy monsters 1-3 (lots of monsters, kinda built with dungeon fantasy settings and power levels in mind)
• the gurps repository also has tons of free and generic statblocks
