GURPS is Easy - Melee Weapon Tier List and What do I need to start playing?

You can't throw a d20 without finding some guide or another to any odd class in D&D. The same is not at all true for GURPS. There's hardly any content on youtube and what there is rarely delves into the sort of strategy guides players, old and new, look for. To that end, I'm starting a new channel. Or rather I renamed my old channel and posted two new videos to it:

A youtube short explaining what books to get so you can start playing: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/IKbiSWhJxt8

And a longer video putting all the melee weapons into a tier list and explaining my reasoning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjWSv7FOSJ4

The goal of the channel is to provide more of the ancillary GURPS content that drives engagement in other RPGs, both helping old players to up their game and helping new players get started.

If I were a better youtuber I would have asked people at the end of the video to like, comment, favourite, subscribe, and rate five stars. But I'm not, so I didn't.

And continuing my goal of expanding the available GURPS youtube content, I have added a low tech ranged weapons tier list: https://youtu.be/yQY7OSih0SE

I plan to keep releasing videos at least once a week, if not more often, though it's not all going to be tier lists. I just started there since it was low-hanging fruit and often the sort of thing people first look for when trying to sort through as many options as GURPS gives.

I just watched the first video. You not only covered the basics...I literally loled. Great job!

Another video from the best GURPS Youtuber, part one of a Mage build guide which helps players choose their attributes: https://youtu.be/6oK1y8LXXrs

This most recent vid here on wizards is very welcome. It even pointed out a few points I didn't think about when designing my own wizards. So thanks for that! :)

Guess who's not dead! I just posted part two of my Mage build guide for base Magic: https://youtu.be/lc6JRIGRnRY

This one helps players pick the modifiers that they should apply to their Magery.
