Can someone please explain Garry's mod?

OK so I'm reading through a few things and I'm totally confused.

I'm reading about people with role playing servers, people with this and people with that?

What on earth is it all about? I understand it holds characteristics similar to minecraft in that you can build anything but I was reading about someone becoming a gun dealer them electing a policemen or something.

I've googled it and can kind of understand the basics I think but I'm still confused.

Thanks.

It is a mod for the Source engine. You can manipulate the characters, items and any other world objects that are available in the source games. You basically do whatever you want.

im thinking the same thing, it does sound fun though, you could build what ever you want ect... apparently reading threads you can build a big forte and have a game like worms ect...

That's what I'm thinking

With that Garee said - Ok so I can do what ever I want with the objects, could I say make it so it was turn based? So say I could make my own classes and you had x amount of moves per go and what not? Could I make my own game within it so like make a big world and as you go around you get random encounters with "Mobs" which you kill and level up and get xp/stat points? Or is that a bit too much?
