I'm new to TTRBGs, a sales clerk from a games store recommended GSTR for a beginner. I have the zine and the character sheet downloads but is there a storyline I follow or do I make one up?
If you have the zine edition of the game, turn to the section called "GM materials," starting on page 24. That should give you a pretty good overview of how running the game works. In brief, as the GM you'll be creating a story at the table, using the framework and inspiration provided by GSTR—and, of course, drawing on your fellow players contributions too!
Reading through it looks like an incredibly fun game! I've had issues with players moving stats too easily before, and I think this version addresses it, in a really fun environment

If you want to see some examples, I recommend checking out this Youtube playlist of recorded sessions of the game: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLp2rr7I2jFTlcOHYF9PNj55wQ7owv4rJL
That helps a lot. Thank you so much!
