The plot turned out pretty good, and the player complimented me on my GMing style (hmm, maybe I'm not as bad a GM as I sometimes think I am! :)), and told me afterwards that he rather enjoyed the game. He certainly liked the simplicity of the game system, the game mechanics themselves (he didn't believe me that I could explain the game rules to him in less than 5 minutes, but I proved him wrong!), and wasn't bored by the story at all. In addition, he is an artist, and did some artwork of some of the stuff going on in the game. (May post the graphic that he did up at some point as well.)
So, the demo was a success in that it was a good time, but a disappointment in that only one player showed up to play.
If anyone is interested in hearing more about the demo, just say the word, and I'll post something up here.
