GURPSDay Summary Mar 30, 2018 – Apr 5, 2018

This week’s GURPSDay is brought to you by Tyr, God of Justice, War, and Law. Why? Not to too my own horn, but I have been granted a license to convert my Norse-based adventure Lost Hall of Tyr into Hall of Judgment, an adventure for the Dungeon Fantasy RPG. Read more about that below.

Welcome to GURPSDay 2018, and the fourth year – GURPSDay started in February 2013, only a year after I started Gaming Ballistic. This has been a big week for me. My modified Fifth Edition Kickstarter for the Dragon Heresy RPG – the same setting that Lost Hall/Hall of Judgment is set in – went live and funded on Day 2. And of course, the big news is the licensure to me, a third party publisher, of the DFRPG rules. Big things are movin’ in the world of GURPS and Powered by GURPS.

We’re currently drawing content from 98 blogs. We are so very, very close to having 100 GURPS blogs.

We still need your help. And if you just started a GURPS blog – and I know that some of you have – email me and get on the list! With the advent of the Dungeon Fantasy RPG, Powered by GURPS, there’s even more reason to write.

How? Two action items: post more, recruit more. It’s really that simple. More posters is more posts, and more interest in GURPS.

Below you can find the blog activity for the last week. There’s a whole lotta awesome GURPS going on. Read all the posts.

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. Take special note of the RSS Settings Fix if you’re on WordPress.

Final Note: Moe Lane, Patrick Burroughs, and Merlin Avery: your blogs are not pulling. Call the office.
