Bygamingballistic

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 for . . . well, my records show we were doing it in 2009, which means it’s older than that.


But there’s another tradition that GURPS fans might not know as much about.Douglas Cole has been blogging about RPGs on Gaming Ballistic since December 26, 2012, and he started setting aside Thursday as “GURPS-day” on February 7, 2013.
On January 21, 2016, SJG joined the party for real, and noted that, as we see, Thursday is GURPS Day.
Each week, GURPS content from blogs all over the world are aggregated here, in this post.

+Peter V. Dell’Orto runs a pretty awesome “pickup” Dungeon Fantasy megadungeon campaign, called Felltower. His most recent play report was epic on several levels, not the least of which was, “hey, Dragon!” More broadly, though, the session was interesting from other perspectives than was was clearly the fun that was had. What did I notice? Research…

Bygamingballistic

Gaming Ballistic’s welcomed ConTessa founder +Stacy Dellorfano to the Firing Squad, and we chatted for well over an hour. As mentioned previously, my lack of headset caused issues with Stacy’s audio feed, which was recorded to the Hangout On Air. Nonetheless, we managed to get a good transcript from the interview, which is below. I’ve still gone…

GURPS Day – Instructions for Getting on the List

GURPS Day Preparation! With some help from +Jeffro Johnson – lots of help – I now have a PERL script that will look at the RSS feeds for blogs and pull out the GURPS posts, and spit ’em out formatted all nice and proper. If you hear that in Nathan Fillion’s voice, well, you’re not wrong…

Cooler Undead Encounters for Hall of Judgment

Bygamingballistic

If you don’t have a Cleric in your party, specifically one with Turning, you might not need this. But if you do, or just want to make the standard 250-point Dungeon Fantasy RPG characters work a bit harder to kill undead in Hall of Judgment, consider the following. What follows inevitably contains spoilers.

Majestic Wilderlands: Fosco Chubbs Summons Popcorn

Bygamingballistic

We pick up immediately after a fireball and a command to cease fighting. They ask which of us in charge, and we muddle. We decide that the paladin has the most moral authority, Keyar the arrow-happy elf is the most decisive, and Carmina tries to keep us from getting killed a lot. They tell us…
