GURPS podcast/vblog series?
Speaking of Podcasts/vblog; I wonder how would a GURPS Podcasts/vblog be like? what would be its priorities?
Seeing the wealth of GURPS fan made material; I could imagine a Vblog having a section where they walk through combat examples... not just combat examples but rules examples. The vblog would highlight updates in common GURPS haunts. I guess its purpose is to make GURPS more accessible and walking through the strenghts of the system. How would you format it? |

A representative episode could include some or all of:

Re: GURPS podcast/vblog series?
All IMHO, of course:
Sure, you could go for something grander -- but I think simple is good, both to ensure the project is easier to keep going and to keep it more accessible to listeners. For example, good video production is hard, and reduces your audience size; if you keep it audio-only, people can listen while jogging or commuting without having to watch a screen. |

Happy Jack's RPG Podcast frequently talks about GURPS. The primary host is a big fan, and you can even find an episode in the past in which the crew interviews Steve Jackson et al.
