GURPS Day Summary Aug 26 – Sept 1, 2016

Thursday is GURPSDay. And today is very nearly THE GURPSDay, as we’re probably seeing the biggest GURPS news today since the announcement of Fourth Edition in 2004. Below you can find the blog activity from the last seven days.

Over the last week there have been 55 GURPS-related posts from our list of 63 blogs that have popped up on the radar screen. (We picked up another one: Cole Jenkins’ Of Paper Men and Plastic Monsters.)

So today is the day.  As of roughly 10am, the Dungeon Fantasy RPG Boxed Set Kickstarter has gone live. 

I also suspect that we might see other DF news, since a smaller but game-changing project will go live soon. Maybe not, but we’ll see.

It’s a good day to GURPS.

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.

  • Dungeon Fantasy Boxed Set announced! (8/31/16) – Steve Jackson Games makes a big announcement – a Kickstarter for a five-volume boxed Dungeon Fantasy set with lots of goodies in the box.

  • Aeon Campaign S3E7 – Ante-mortem (8/30/16) – In S3E7 of the Aeon campaign, we attend the civilian funeral of a fallen hero off-screen. We then try and figure out how to take the fight back to Blue Skies, and decide to really play the anti-Wheaton card. We get them evicted from their own main headquarters. Upon doing that, we realize that we’ve been penetrated at a high level by a group similar to Anonymous called Sentry. That is interrupted in true pulp fashion by a biker gang with machineguns. They are dealt with efficiently, but a bigger threat is revealed.
