Getting Started
I use GURPS rules primarily to resolve combat, situations where particular skills are required to determine a specific outcome. A knowledge of GURPS rules IS NOT needed to play the game, the mechanics are largely invisible to play. But if you are interested in learning more there are PDF files on the Forum that can be downloaded. These contain a basic outline of GURPS rules and are known as “GURPS Lite.”
