GURPS Lite Supplements

[David Johansen]

Well, now that I've openned a game store I'm wanting to do something more to promote GURPS than my irregular (funny how bi-weekly always turns into rarely) Friday night game.

In particular I'd like to do some genre support for GURPS Lite. I recognize this would have to be entirely a fan project and would need to artfully dance around the edges of copyright and trademark. It wouldn't be the first time I've been slapped down by a game company for writing what I saw as harmless fan support to promote a game and thus improve sales.

So obviously generic fantasy would be the first thing to do. Eventually I'd like to do a book for supers and space opera as well. I want to do about 16 pages. Maybe 4 for characters, 4 for monsters, 4 for magic, and 4 for a bit of a world and an adventure.

I lean towards a cut down version of Magic. Yes I know Magic is unpopular with some, but it's what people will get when they buy the book. I probably wouldn't be doing this at all if I wasn't running a store and trying to sell the book as I generally write things I want or need.

Any thoughts?
