New to GURPs; not sure where to start

I once let a friend from out of town jump in and control a minor NPC in a fight against the players. He saw it as his god given duty to do his best to kill every PC he could before he went down and ended up taking out half the party. Oops.

It's somewhat amusing looking back at my posts to start this thread. I've come a long way since I first came here.

I'm glad to see that others are getting some benefit from this thread. Hopefully this continues to be helpful.

The evolution of your knowledge from the beginning to the "end" Of this thread (around post 170 before I resurrected it) was a brilliant help for me whilst forming my knowledge base regarding GURPS. I think you were absent for around 9 months at one stage before returning to ask further questions IIRC. However everyone was still as willing to help as they were in the beginning. A great, welcoming community.
