The GURPS 101 Index Thread
I was over on reddit and I saw a post where someone was getting into GURPS, and had originally built a 100 point character with -100 points in disads with crippling low stats.
It brought to mind my Melee and Ranged skills posts, as well as the "GURPS 101: What is X?" type stuff. I was thinking that we should put together an index: What are your top 1-3 best posts for new GURPS gamers, where you explain something critical that new players or GMs MUST understand, or SHOULD understand, to prevent expectations crises? In short, I want to put together a GURPS 101 index for new players and GMs. Ping me somehow - on this board, via email, whatever, with a short list of links. Prioritize them, because if you send me 100 links, I simply will not list 'em all. I will almost certainly nominate my Melee and Ranged skill levels posts for myself.

Re: The GURPS 101 Index Thread
MY GURPS Skill Primer and Combat Primer I think are good fits.
I shall add a character Primer later. Good idea.

If i might be so bold? Collect these gems together and save as a PDF document so that people might be able to download in one document

Interesting. Has potential in more ways than one.

Re: The GURPS 101 Index Thread
Flowcharts tend to help some who are more visual, like myself. I did up a flowchart that was based on the post I saw on Game in the Brain's Blog.
I don't think it's the best flow chart I made and it isn't done (didn't even start on injury). This should help some newbies on what to do in combat. |

Re: The GURPS 101 Index Thread
Very good ideas.
As a product line grows, indexes and indexes of indexes become invaluable. It would be so cool to eventually get more official visibility and approval of stuff like this. |

Re: The GURPS 101 Index Thread
They are series and not individual posts, so probably a bit wide in scope for what you're looking for -- but when I think "GURPS 101," I think of the "New to GURPS" walkthrough (maybe just "Your First Character"?) and the venerable Combat Examples.
