Pocket-sized Edition?
I was in my FLGS (Boardwalk in Greenville, SC) the other day. They have a really good selection of board, card and roleplaying games. Even SJ games is well represented. They have a decent selection of Munchkin, Zombie Dice, Ogre, and even a couple of Dungeon Fantasy boxed sets (I backed the kick starter and bought a set from them as my backup). I think I even saw Super Kitty Bug Slap. One thing I’ve noticed is a distinct lack of GURPS products. They have a good selection of D&D 5e and Pathfinder of course. They also have a lot of Star Wars, Genesys, and LOTR books from FFG, COC, Middle-earth, Savage Worlds, FATE, and other game systems. They are not afraid of keeping hard copy RPGs in stock. I was wondering what SJ games could do to get GURPS some better on the shelf representation back in gaming stores. I think FATE, Savage worlds, and Pathfinder have been successful with the pocket sized editions of their books. Is this something SJ games might consider? Maybe a pocket-sized run of the “Core” books? Of course, the Basic set, but also maybe Martial Arts, Powers, Magic, Fantasy, and Space? I don’t mind PDFs, but I much rather have a hard copy in my hand to pass around the table and read without having to stare at a screen. Also seeing it in an actual store would grab my attention much more than maybe seeing it on social media. What are everyone else’s thoughts on this?
