This gamer trope isn't even on the radar of most normal folk, so it won't stand out.

Now Technomancer might do better but really for GURPS material to attract that kind of attention you not only need a setting, but also a story to adapt, and GURPS has been rather shy in putting those out there.

If there's something I'd like to see it's SJG pivot away from seeing GURPS as ONLY a toolbox and release a setting or two that really attracts attention and provide it with on going support.

Well, that and basically being a "Isekai", since the Banestorms basically just drop off people from across the multiverse.

Leaning into the actual Banestorms of Banestorm would probably be the way to go for making a TV series.

Heck you could pretty much throw in some version of the GURPS Sample characters (Dan Blackthrorn, etc.) and the plot practically writes itself. ...it will be a rather bizarre plot with those guys though, which may or may not be what you want.
