GURPS Day Summary Dec 16 – Dec 22, 2016

We’re back to the usual schedule, with GURPSDay on Thursday. I’m mostly but not quite all recovered from jet lag, as evidenced by the first GURPSDay post at roughly 2am.

Below you can find the blog activity from the last seven days. 46 so far as we start to bring this year to a close, and we’ve got some Thursday left to cover. We picked up two new blogs, too: Decanic Trappings and The Fossilized GURPS Blog.

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.
