GURPS Day Summary Oct 14 – Oct 20, 2016

Thursday is GURPSDay, and I need more sleep.

Things hum along in the background on the DFRPG and other projects, according to small birds and other things. The blogosphere for GURPS is working on a few fun things as well.

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

Over the last week as of 8am there have been 41 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.
