GURPS Day Summary Dec 23 – Dec 29, 2016

We’re back to the usual schedule, with GURPSDay on Thursday. This is the last GURPSDay of 2016; no celebrities were harmed in the making of this post.

Below you can find the blog activity from the last seven days. 40 so far as we bring this year to a close, and we’ve got about three hours of Thursday left to cover.

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.
