What GURPS needs... now

To expand my thoughts and piggy back on Gollum a bit, very recently it was free RPG day. I went to my FLGS and looked over the table of free RPGs. I picked up the new Runequest Quickstart (very exciting!) and I also got a book from Lamentations of the Flame Princess. Was there any GURPS? No.

Looking around the Chaosium site (an old school company that has been doing really well recently (look at all their ENnie nominations!)...guess what I found? Last year they launched a six month campaign for their Organized Play program. They say: play it in your FLGS to get the word out about CoC! Play it on Twitch! Play it where you want! Why don't we have anything like that? We have MIBs (though when I emailed the contact to join years and years ago I never got a return contact...so my impression about the MIB program isn't that high) but we don't have some cool 6 month unfolding campaign that people can run in the FLGS.

Other companies are doing things to keep their name in people's minds and to offer people things they can just jump in and play. What are we doing?
