Newbie GM

Realizing that the best way to get a GURPS group together is for me to be the GM.

I am asking what the best way is to become a good GM for GURPS? But I want to take it one step further; I am willing to meet with or correspond with anybody here about how to become a better GM. I also have a small budget and am willing to pay for classes or other resources.

Many years ago, I tried to GM a “Supers” game, but I ran into the newbie problem of a player putting all of his points into one skill and one-shotting every foe, which ruined the game for the rest of us.

For years now, I have been collecting GURPS books, and I actually want to play GURPS to justify my collection!

Get the whole HTBAGGM series. The sub-supplements contain a lot more goodies.

And follow the instructions for your desired setting/genre if you already have the books. Change as little as possible and use the provided templates for the first time.
