GURPS 4e Entry Point

[Qoltar]

Paul,
Since you commented on the thread again - can I suggest something?

I work at a game store and notice that you have most of your humor and card games in a standard box size. (Ninja Burger, Munchkin, etc.)

How about packaging in that box size a small game that uses basic GURPS mechanics? Something that maybe 2 to 4 players can do.

If you package more than one like this - pick a different genre for each one and include a pamphlet sheet inside that explains the LARGER GURPS line, and highlights the world book that relates to the box game version.

For example "OrcFight!!" A fun simple battle between 4-5 Orcs and a some elves and humans. Cardboard counters with bases , using the GURPS basic combat rules and 3 by 5 character cards for each cardboard counter. But the implied setting is Caithness of Yrth that is mentioned in BANESTORM.

'Powerfight!" = the same idea but with superhero and Supervillian type characters capsulated. ...also with 4 to 5 cardbound charaters and character cards on each side. And with an inside promo sheet for GURPS:POWERS

You make it so that these simple characters may also be can be used in a regular GURPS game later ...so that the parts and map boards inside are reusable with the regular GURPS games the purchaser might get interested in doing later.
