GURPS at GenCon - Any visibility?
Not just from SJG (which I gather was concentrating on Munchkin) but at the tables? Any one run GURPS, play GURPS, Mention GURPS at panels etc?
Just what was the signature of GURPS at this GenCon?

Re: GURPS at GenCon - Any visibility?
Of course SJGames was demoing DFRPG combat all GenCon...so that was a big level of visibility on their end. I didn't check out the demo, because I never had time...and I know how to do GURPS combat.
I was in a GURPS game not connected to SJGames that was a sort of riff on Romeo and Juliet. It was excellent. |

Re: GURPS at GenCon - Any visibility?
Well, Christopher Rice ran in and/or played in a lot of GURPS games, mostly GURPS DF from the sounds of things, so it seems there was actually quite a GURPS presence. I get the impression a lot of people bought GURPS DF products too, or at least I saw some pictures of it and now we're getting reviews of them.

I don't think DF was being sold, but it was being demo'd and there were things to look at.

It could be people are reviewing their backer PDFs

And pre-ordered. That was a big enough thing that some folks were playing the demo game and pre-ordering them on the spot.

Re: GURPS at GenCon - Any visibility?
The DFRPG box was not on sale, but it appears that the backers who paid for the "play a game with Kromm" level got their sets early, and, yes, there are people reviewing the PDFs.

There was one GURPS newbie at our game table who seemed to like it--but our game was definitely not DF |

We had one standing table dedicated to a short combat demo, and I saw it full more often than not.

Re: GURPS at GenCon - Any visibility?
What did people say about it? And how many people did you see that either never play GURPS before, or even never heard about it?
