I've wanted to do a campaign on the "Gurps Infinite Worlds" setting but I just can't bring myself to learn those worlds.

Also, playing a fighter in 3e

fucking really? its not a hard system, hell any game shouldnt be painful to learn unles your retarded and dont know how to read. fucking gamer posers. let me guess le wil wheaton was talking about it or some shit so your trying to fit in. faggot

>>52994063
>namefag
Anyways, have you ever played with new people?
Shit's like pulling teeth. Even with a bog-standard system like D&D I get asked "h-how do I roll again?" or "What dice do I roll?"
This is on session 4 after explaining it to them multiple times and having other more experienced players breeze through their turns.

whats wrong with selectively playing with actual role players? when i go to a con and the kid running the game got into rpgs from wil wheaton i fucking leave right there from the one shot. ive literally hit dm`s who thought they knew shit about tabletop trying to tell me how to play the fucking game. i dont play that shit.

>new group starting in my town
>it's GURPS, the GM is the only one that knows the system

GURPS isn't hard at all. The only real barrier is creating your very first character.

I only have one player who's played it before so nobody but her knows how to break the game. We've had some good battles, role-playing, and party bonding and we're about to finish the first arc of the story I have planned.

Surprised it actually finished.
I'm more impressed with the staying power of that show, I thought it was just going to be a fad.

>>52994116
It's a weird system to teach new people, but going through it together has helped. I found if you're all new at it, it goes pretty well for everyone.

>>52994619
It depends on how autistic the GM is, by which I mean how many optional rules they use 'because it's more realistic'. Making a character in GURPS is a total bitch without help. Playing the character isn't any harder than D&D, provided the GM knows how the system works. Trying to play a character when the GM's using about 20 books full of optional rules for every possible action is just plain confusing.
