Re: Report To The Stakeholders
There were sales and marketing wins in 2015. However, most of the wins won't be public until later this year. 2016 is shaping up strong.

Re: Report To The Stakeholders
There is a list of titles that are actively in the demo rotation and that list changes as based on our marketing needs. Munchkin is the majority of what MIBs are demoing at this time, and calling out one title doesn't detract from their demo efforts with Zombie Dice, Hipster Dice, Tile Chess, and other supported games.

I also demo pretty often in my area and I get people going "Wow, you play GURPS? I thought I was the only one!" and they promptly sit down at my table and play. I've got three groups of people exclusively playing GURPS in my area right now and a large pool of people. I know Mook does the same at Cons as well as numerous others. Just because GURPS isn't mentioned directly doesn't mean its dead or dying or even on life support. Steve Jackson Games staff are beyond transparent for a business, much less the industry. If Phil were going to pull the plug on GURPS they would tell you. Until that comes - if ever - we plod along. The wheel of the Hobby Industry continues to turn. Boardgames/card games are the "thing" right now, in a few years it's more than likely RPGs will be the "thing" - all you have to do is look at the OSR to see that.

Re: Report To The Stakeholders
This is just a case of a company moving the majority of it's efforts away from my particular interest. I don't really have a problem with it as the market dictates what's going to be a priority. That said I have completely given up of dead tree format and decided that if Gurps is going to be a primarily electronic format, I'd ether get into the ebook age or look for another game.

Do we really have to wait 11 more months for Car Wars 6e?

Re: Report To The Stakeholders
The Men In Black are expected to be able and willing to demo a variety of our games. Several of them (including Munchkin) are on the "required" list.

So please continue to play GURPS and share it with everyone that you can. I think you and I agree that it's the greatest RPG out there and it needs to be spread far and wide! I'm only suggesting that you don't try to do it as a MIB, because that involves playing and promoting games that you actively dislike.

Re: Report To The Stakeholders
Huh. I didn't even know there was a Chez Geek expansion in 2015, and I like to think that I check SJG website at least once a day.
Did I miss the cancellation of Girl Genius as a GURPS project, then? |

Nope. It hasn't been cancelled.
