Something I think would be totally awesome, and that I (in my total ignorance of the RPG biz) suspect might draw in some new GURPS players: a GURPS DFRPG-style boxed set Star Frontiers rip-off, complete with space combat on a big black grid map. With a basic established setting. Including evil space lizards.

Star Frontiers was really simplistic, but it had a few original races and the most basic of storylines - and a consistent look, like DFRPG is going for.

I wonder if somebody at Gaming Ballistic is working on something like this right now? It seems that SJG has opened up to companies like Gaming Ballistic providing content....

I wonder what kind of magic would have to happen to get a simplified version of Daniel Dover's Psi-Wars into a shiny box? Is it just a pipe dream that I might someday see a thing like that on the shelf at my local Target?
