GURPS Day Summary Oct 28– Nov 3, 2016

Thursday is GURPSDay, and I’m a tetch late out of the gate. But still, we’ve got posts. Lots of posts. So many great posts.

The blogosphere for GURPS is working on a few fun things as well. You can see the results of the collaboration in the Halloween-themed posts: Blog-or-Treat. Also, the GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Kickstarter Backerkit surveys are making the rounds, and the survey is easy, complete, and gets you what you want. And it’s still not to late to upgrade to the $250 “I want it all” level, which is a ridiculously good deal. Most folks at that level have already received the PDF copies of product that already exists, and where that didn’t happen, SJG staff are working like crazy to ensure it does.

Below you can find the blog activity from the last seven days.

Over the last week as of 11pm there have been 53 GURPS-related posts from our list of 67 blogs that have popped up on the radar screen.

Not every blog posts about GURPS every week, but some are ridiculously prolific! The list is randomized, so different bloggers will be highlighted at the top of the post each week.

As always, if you’re interested in having your blog consolidated here, navigate over to The Instructions Page and drop me a line.
