New Blogs Incoming – watch this space
I’ve heard rumblings that at least three blogs will be hitting the GURPS and other games pavement over the next month or so.
+Jake Bernstein, who goes by Apoc527 on the SJG Forums, was instrumental in playtesting some of my stuff. He took Technical Grappling for a spin, as well as playtesting On Target before it was published. Based on a comment he left on my prior post, he may well be starting a blog soon. If not, I’ll lean on him to be a regular guest poster.
The Forum user Mailanka, who is one of the only players that I know of to fully embrace The Last Gasp in all its glory, has a blog of his own. Every Wednesday (sigh, not Thursday/GURPSDay, but I’ll be OK) he’ll be posting a new GURPS post. I’m linking all his GURPS content over in the Arsenal.
Finally, I know that there’s going to be one more coming, but I can’t talk about it. No, it’s not me. Yes, I know who it is. Yes, y’all should be excited about it. Wait and see.
Another entry you might wish to consider for the blogroll: while my blog is general-purpose, there are "RPGs" and "GURPS" tags for relevant posts and it's entirely possible to read only those. Recently I've mostly been reviewing new GURPS releases. RSS feeds are available.

What blog service should I use?
Assuming you don't want to host your own, as I do:
Livejournal: owned by dodgy Russians. Doesn't offer RSS feeds for comments.
Blogspot: works all right, part of the Google Monolith, so you can't use it without a Google ID of some sort, and all your readers will be tracked.
WordPress (.com): works all right, part of Automattic, but generally not as privacy-invasive as Google.
