GURPS 4e Entry Point - Page 6

This thread is to unload some tangency off of the GURPS/4E... could be more attractive? thread. It is to discuss the challenges, options, and goals of creating a product beyond the current GURPS Lite that lowers the bar for new players.

I'll kick off the discussion by asking, what form should this product take? Boxed set? Microgame, a la Melee? Mini-game with a couple of cheap plastic minis? And three dice? A card game that somehow includes the basic combat mechanic? A game like Zombies with all of the aforementioned, but with the dice mechanic of GURPS? (Dudes, I am brain dumping here. Most of this is absurd, but you know, keep trying...)
