Now that I have learned some of the basics of AD&D, I was ready to begin playing with some people in my area, but they say that AD&D is old stuff and that there is a better way of RPG. It is called GURPS. They told me to learn it, because it does not have many of the stupid restrictions that AD&D does. They said that I can join once I learn the basics. So will somebody teach me???
Also, I have been surfing the net and finding alot of AD&D stuff, like new monsters, items, magic, etc. created and submitted by people who love to play, but are in need of bigger and better things (or a DM is fed up with the PC's becoming god-like, and has created some nasty surprises for them.) Anyone know if these submissions are legal playing stuff? Are they universally recognized??? Anyone know any good sites to visit???

I agree with you Wolfgir. GURPS has been around for awhile. It's becoming rather antique itself. There's nothing wrong with the system, but D&D has definitely changed. Back in 94, I had a friend that swore by GURPS. I never really could get into it too much. They had skills and other stuff too, but most of what I had seen was computer generated. If you do a wildcard search on GURPS, I'm pretty sure you will find a lot of information on it. Good luck to you though. After all, if you want to play with a group, you have to find a group to play with. If this means that all you have available is GURPS, I'd say go for it. If you can find others to play D&D with though, I would recommend that instead.
I just did a search and one site in particular looked fairly promising.
