There are several Traveller campaigns that are available. The Pirates of Drinix is considered good. Mongoose has a few other campaigns.

Traveller makes some setting assumptions that I find silly. It’s not quite the kind of SF I like… although that could be because I’ve never played with a Traveller group.

IOU would be cool though probably very niche. It could also be a good headquarters or base of operations for a group.

Sadly, SJGames does not make those. Which is too bad, because like most people these days, I don’t have 40+ hours to devote to creating a world book with maps and interesting locations and people, or finding or buying art assets.
Just recently we have GURPS Girl Genius and GURPS Infinite Worlds: Nightreign. What we need is for writers to want to write the things you want and to make good pitches.
So what are some things you would like to see? Pitch an idea that an author reading this thread might go "Yeah, I could write that and it would be pretty fun!"

GURPS Cuddly-Wuddly Creatures.

No, seriously: a GURPS setting supplement for playing cute critters having cute adventures where no one ever has to use the combat rules.

LOL, I'm down with that. I always wanted a GURPS Toon!
But I miss the old humor products (like IOU) though Girl Genius and Casey and Andy have humor they just do not hit the right tone for my funny bone.
I think a GURPS My Little Pony or some such might hit a fresh market. And if it sells certainly do a lot to disabuse the "GURPS is too complicated and requires advanced math" meme.

GURPS Furries is a start but really aimed at a wider concept that the silly humor one.

I'm normally not interested in any of the products that rebuild GURPS for a specific genre or setting, but I would pay good money for rules designed to emulate non-violent cartoons.

We sort-of already do, in the form of GURPS Action 6: Hot Rides, but it's a very, very long way from being Car Wars. We've experimented with adding a few house rules (and enough hand-waving to achieve flight) to move Hot Rides a little closer, but even then our sessions tended to be very combat-light and roleplaying-heavy.

I'd love a 4e version of Autoduel with either a modular system like Spaceships, or a beefed-up version of Hot Rides. It could even serve to introduce players of the new version of Car Wars to roleplaying...

IOU is a niche case for sure... but it's nice to see Agatha Heterodyne's early days :)

Pair it with GURPS Supers and run a Captain Carrot and the Zoo Crew oneshot!

I'd like to see updates for GURPS Cabal and the Hellboy RPG, personally.

Yes, but it does have toon racial templates, and advice on how to make them the full on "can't hurt a toon!" type . . .
