Would anyone be interested in running through a GURPS Con game? I ran this demo game years ago in 3rd edition but have recently updated it to 4th with some changes in the scenario. I've run it once, since the 4th edition updates, with a group of players but I'd like to run it again before Owlcon in February. The story is War of the Worlds but on the other side of the world; a small town in Texas to be exact. Here's the flyer: GURPS War of the WorldsIf all goes well, I'd even consider running this as an ongoing game. Any takers?

The demo is written for a maximum of six players but can run with three. Experience with GURPS not needed.
All the characters are pregen but if all goes well nothing says players can't make new characters for an ongoing game.

Definitely interested. When were you thinking of running exactly?

I've got a couple kids so play before 8pm central is not impossible, but it will likely require some bennies to pass the wife check. If you're looking for some sort of during the day weekend thing, I might be able to swing it.

I'm in New Zealand, so I'm a day ahead, and 4 hrs behind, US Pacific Time. I also already have a game Saturday nights your time.
That said, if you can fit me in, I'd be very keen to play!

I'd like to play something like every other week. I have three kids of my own, one of which is only seven months old, so I was honestly hoping for an evening game when I know they'll all be in bed. Friday through Sunday work best for me but I'd like to see what everyone's availability is. My schedule is somewhat flexible and might be able to work around something different. During the day on weekends might be doable so long as I work it out with the wife a head of time. I'm Central Time here in Texas. So we've got three players so far: gandalftheplaid, kroh, and snoman314. That's good enough to run with but it would be great if we picked up at least one more.

Oy! Thread's getting dusty! Someone jump in on this! I'm intrigued and would like to try out Gurps but it all all depends on the time. I'm currently in a Saturday game with Kroh & Sno (also Drake not appearing in this thread), that time slot of starting 7-8pm EST is really good for me. I know we are fine with growing the group a bit and play whenever we can. Currently we're playing in Savage Worlds Necessary Evil game run by the excellent Kroh, and Sno is starting up a Traveller for when we can't all make it. I have a hankering to run some one-shots as well. Not sure if Kroh & Sno were looking at this as an additional game for themselves during the weekend, but I'm cool with a rotating schedule. As of right now I couldn't commit to a Friday or Sunday, but in a month or two a Sunday might be possible.

I was going to see if I could slip this into my schedule on top of what I'm already doing.

Sorry I didn't check back sooner. I'd still like to run this. I need a minimum of four players. I have children (I'm a stay at home dad) so late evenings work best for me (after 9pm), when the kids are in bed. If I can hammer out a regular day to play, I'm sure I could work out a deal with the wife for an earlier time. So if you're interested, please post times you're available. Let's get this going. Thanks!

Evenings after 8pm central any day of the week but Friday. Friday is not automatically out all the time, but it's risky enough to not include.
