Violent Resolution – a new blog series
Over at Castalia House, +Jeffro Johnson has written quite a large number of posts that he’s collected on his blog under the heading Appendix N.

Thursday is GURPSDay, and it’s on time this week! Still hoping things are headed in a “calming down” direction that will let me return to some actual blogging. Ask me again next week. Scroll all the way down (the random order is, well, random). Catch up and get some repeat views and if you missed…
This is a shout-out to all 1,600 or so folks that backed and received the Dungeon Fantasy RPG. Why am I shouting? I want your war stories. As far as I can tell, Sean and SJG did a great job condensing the GURPS rules into “just what’s needed for dungeon delving.” The fact that various…
Arm Lock as a combat technique has had a long and somewhat storied history in GURPS. As a result of a Forum thread (that I’m not going to link to here; it’s not the point) I went back and looked at commentary and execution on the technique since 4e came out in 2004. It’s worth…
[Note: with my permission, Kreios cut images from the sample draft and posted them to his site showing the wrestler build he used. I’m going to let you link over there so you can check out his stuff too…but you can more than get the gist of it from what he’s written below.] Delvers to Mow…
This one will be quick (mostly because I’m having lunch and behind my work firewall), but today’s Pyramid Magazine is out, and it’s tremendous. What’s in it? A truly stupendous article by +Sean Punch and +Peter V. Dell’Orto with DF power-ups for the swords and smiting set. This wonderful piece of badassery is 11 pages of pure awesome. Things…
We picked up in media res again. GM: +Nathan Joy Players: +Mark Langsdorf , +Theodore Briggs , +Kevin Smyth , Bruno, and +Douglas Cole . This is the Jade Regent Adventure Path done in GURPS, and I’m quoting liberally from descriptions that the GM almost certainly pasted verbatim into the chat windows of the adventure. So: Spoiler Alerts! Many mooks were having some…

I expect that you'll keep us updated here or on G+ as a reminder when they go live. I didn't see any obvious way to add your posts there to my RSS feed.
I will – I'll also replicate the prior week's post the day before the following one goes live. Some of the posts are long enough that I've broken them in two, others are even longer but breaking it up into pieces didn't make as much sense.
Excellent! I'll try to find reasons to comment over there. I know that people employing bloggers like that sort of thing even more than bloggers like getting comments. 😉
FYI, "employ" in the "getting paid for this" sense isn't accurate – I'm not on the payroll over there. Jeffro liked my work, recommended it to the management, presumably they read some of my stuff (or at least my first sample post once I got my groove on), and asked me to write more.
Sorry you feel you have to associate yourself with people like that (check out their lead editor's publicly expressed views some time); I hope the boost to your career is worth it.
I don't endorse his publicly expressed views any more than I endorse any particular views by any other venue which hosts, but does not dictate, my work. The writing itself is, and always will be, based on gaming only.
Thank you, RogerBW, for pointing that out. Sorry, Douglas, I don't want to give that "racially aware" person any clicks. I'll just have to wait for your later publication here.
I respect that. You'll see the posts appear here starting next Monday morning, and weekly thereafter.
