There are times to All-Out Attack in melee, and even Telegraphic All-Out Attack. They are few and limited, but they exist. Tactical Shooting would have you using AoA(Determined) every time you want to use your sights or claim an Aim bonus. +Hans-Christian Vortisch does impeccable research and he’s right – if you’re aiming, you’re not defending. Still,…
Am I bound and determined to revisit and rewrite every GURPS rule? No. But in writing Technical Grappling, I became very taken with effect rolls, in the vein of hit points and control points. The general progression of a hit roll followed by an effect roll is familiar and favored by gamers. Personally, I like…
A while back there was a script I’d run to pull the week’s blog activity from those who gave me their tagged RSS feeds. At some point, this moved over to a continuously updated stream, which means Every Day is GURPSDay! Even so, it’s still live, updated, and contains all sorts of interesting stuff, every…
I was on the Talking Crit livestream with Erik Tenkar and “Bad Mike” last night. The overall topic was “the state of gaming and lessons learned on Kickstarter.” We covered a lot more than that. My old Firing Squad interviews, and transcripts of video streams COVID shots and the return to in-person gaming; especially the…
Precis – This is a test post I’m using to try out a scripting method for GURPS Day Thursday is GURPS Day GURPS fans know that Thursday is new-release day at Warehouse 23. SJG doesn’t release a new digital supplement or Pyramid issue every week — but when we do, it’s on Thursday. That has been a tradition…

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.
