GURPS Day Summary Oct 21– Oct 27, 2016

Thursday is GURPSDay, and I need more sleep. On the flip side, it’s the first GURPSDay hosted from my new site. So yay to that!

The blogosphere for GURPS is working on a few fun things as well. You can see the results of the collaboration in the Halloween-themed posts: Blog-or-Treat.

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

Over the last week as of 8am there have been 55 GURPS-related posts from our list of 67 blogs that have popped up on the radar screen. And a happy welcome to our newest: Generic Universal Eggplant.

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.

Game Geekery (“Warren “”Mook”” Wilson”)

• Random Horror Gaming (10/27/16) – For the last GURPSDay before Halloween, I offer up a super quick random game generator. Roll 3d6, mix together the Heroes, Setting, and Villain from the chart, and have at it! Naturally, this is better suited for GMs who enjoy “winging it,” but even grognards like myself who rely on detailed prep work sometimes find ourselves called upon to GM at a moment’s notice. We can all use the occasional imagination spur! Enjoy.
