GURPS Day Summary July 22 – July 28, 2016
Thursday is GURPSDay, and below you can find the blog activity from the last seven days.
Over the last week, as of 900pmCST today, there have been 33 GURPS-Related posts from our list of 56 blogs that have popped up on the radar screen. Another pretty light week, but then, it’s summertime.
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.
