Thursday is GURPSDay! May 2 to May 24, 2019

Thursday is GURPSDay, and as seems to be the case with me these days, I’m posting this on a Friday. Life gets busy.

Even so: here’s three weeks of GURPS blog posts, to catch up and get some repeat views and if you missed some. They’re in reverse chronological order, so if you’re up-to-date, just skim off the top!

News for Gaming Ballistic:

• Citadel at Nordvorn, Fantastic Dungeon Grappling, and Hall of Judgment (2nd Edition) are all approved for printing, and I just wired the money. I expect the books to print and ship to the UK mid-June.
• My new venture, Four Perilous Journeys, for The Fantasy Trip both funded and had its second-best day of the campaign on May 23; even better than the day after launch. While hard on the nerves, late-accelerating Kickstarters like Nordvorn and 4PJ are fun to watch take off. Expect some really nifty stuff to come in the last two weeks of the campaign.

GURPSDay is in its sixth – GURPSDay started in February 2013,  a year after I started Gaming Ballistic. Things have slowed down a bit, and I’ll be considering how to revitalize this weekly activity. I’d like to see an average of 100 posts here per week – one per blog, ish – so we’ll see what we can do to get creative juiced flowing.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.
