GURPS Day Summary Oct 6 – Oct 13, 2016

Thursday is GURPSDay. Things were relatively quiet in the SJG-o-sphere as the team wound down from a very successful Kickstarter.

A quick gander at the pledges showed about 70% from the USA, and 20-25% from the UK, EU, AUS, and NZ. The rest were basically statistically insignificant. One notable thing – after the US, the New Zealand crew had the highest per-capita pledge rate in pledges per million folks. The UK, though #2  in total pledges, was actually fairly low in per-capita rank

Below you can find the blog activity from the last seven days.

Over the last week there have been 48 GURPS-related posts from our list of 66 blogs that have popped up on the radar screen.

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.
