Hey everyone! I'm looking to GM some GURPS games.

I've been a long-time D&D player, and recently I’ve been diving into GURPS and getting really excited about it. I’d love to run some games—whether one-shots or full campaigns—and I’m open to most genres and themes. If your group is looking for a GM, feel free to message me! I’m also open to joining as a player if there’s an open seat. Thanks!
Sounds cool.  When were you thinking of holding the game?

I suggest keeping it simple with a humans only merc setting in the beginning and then expanding as you learn more as a GM. perhaps a fantasy(incase you don't want to be dragged down by realistic reality and events) realistic Merc campaign and then boom magical creatures appear in some kind of event. i suggest Basic set and low tech books in the beginning. i also suggest the youtube channal dungeons and gurps. and yes i would gladly join depending on what time
Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of availability.  However, finding GURPS games is one of the reasons I joined Roll20. (As you might guess, I haven't had much luck.) If the day and time works, and the genre is appealing (and most are), I'm very interested. I'm quite familiar with both 3rd and 4th ed., in case that detail matters. Moreover, I would be happy to help someone new to the system gain experience. But I'm also laid back enough to guide at whatever pace the GM and others would prefer.
If time and day works for me I would be interested
Curious, waiting for setting info and what type of game this will be.
Thanks for the replies! The main game I'm eager to run is an SCP Foundation game where you and your team of field agents are sent out to investigate possible SCPs. It starts out simple enough, but eventually some major world-changing events occur, and your team is the only one able to restore normality and save the world. Characters would start with 90 points and a 45-point disadvantage limit. Characters would be limited to mundane advantages for initial character creation but could buy supernatural or exotic advantages later. As for my schedule, I am free from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. (EDT) Wednesday through Sunday, and I have Monday and Tuesday off (I work nights). Here's a link to the game if anyone wants to check it out. <a href="https://app.roll20.net/join/19515187/cyPdsA" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/join/19515187/cyPdsA</a>
The SCP setting if I know anything about it would be a character meat grinder like none other. A lot of the SCP are you get caught you die and even if the SCPs don't kill us the foundation will probably make us disappear in one way or another. Not a fan of making new characters on the regular.
I am very interested but it depends on the schedule.&nbsp;
I'm interested but it also depends on the schedule; I work days, Pacific time, and I have a fairly busy evening schedule.
i am obviously out of touch or dumb or samething but what is SCP? for me i am available between 10am-230pm cst monday to friday or after 7pm CST
The SCP Foundation is a fictional setting in a sort of Alternate Reality Game (ARG): <a href="https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/guide-for-newcomers" rel="nofollow">https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/guide-for-newcomers</a> It started as a shared horror/creepypasta project and grew.
Ok this sounds interesting, as long as time and days work for me I would be interested. I have not played gurps for a long time so people may have to help me with that though. I can't even remember what edition I played but I believe it was 2nd

A lot of the SCP are you get caught you die and even if the SCPs don't kill us the foundation will probably make us disappear in one way or another. Not a fan of making new characters on the regular. That's a fair point — a lot of SCPs are pretty much instantly lethal. But as a GM, I wouldn't put my players against something they have no hope of beating. That's just bad Game Mastering. Plus, there are just as many SCPs that are easily killable with a gun but are creepy, elusive, and hard to pin down. Not to mention all the SCPs that aren't harmful but could still cause situations that would need to be dealt with — all while avoiding the effects of the SCP itself. Throw in the various Groups of Interest, Foundation politics and intrigue, morally grey questions about what's right versus what's necessary for the preservation of the world,&nbsp; Dark godlike entities scratching at the door of reality, alternate timelines, secret histories of the world, and a truckload of other elements, and you have all the materials needed to build any number of epic campaigns with engaging character arcs and compelling storylines. As for the Foundation, while there are stories that portray them as uncaring and callous, using employees as little more than disposable tools, there are also stories where they stand by their own and fiercely protect those who share their goals and beliefs.
Update on Game Schedule Hey everyone! Thanks for all the interest and input. I've settled on a weekly game time of Saturdays from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM EDT for the SCP GURPS campaign. If you're interested and free during that time, please message me on Roll20 to confirm your spot. Looking forward to getting this started!
Dang Saturdays don't work for me. Oh well
I'd play.&nbsp;
I'm good to go.
Field Agent Field agents are the eyes and ears of the Foundation, personnel trained to look for and investigate signs of anomalous activity, often undercover with local or regional law enforcement or embedded in local services such as emergency medical services and regulatory organizations. As undercover units, field agents are typically not equipped to deal with confirmed cases of anomalous activity; once such an incident has been confirmed and isolated, field agents will typically call for assistance from the nearest field containment team with the means to safely secure and contain such anomalies so we are playing detectives in a sense alright

King Leonidas said: so we are playing detectives in a sense alright You will be starting out as Field Agents (which essentially are detectives) but as the game progresses your character will be given the opportunity for promotion to a different position. There are many interesting roles available to someone working for the Foundation. Also:&nbsp;The first session will be on 5/3/2025 at 11:00am EDT and will be focused on character creation.
Wow that's actually some really good time for me. Is this game in voice or text only? Maybe I warm up to the SCP setting.
