GURPS Day Summary Jan 13 – Jan 19, 2017

Welcome to the second year of GURPSDay, and things are afoot.

Mark Zeman is helping clean up and rewrite the script to be more robust. It’s not there yet, but that is probably an issue on my end. Nonetheless, we added a new blog, which jumped over to RSS2.0 and so the current “gurps4.pl” script works well. This means we’re at 74 blogs. Only 26 more to go until we’re pulling from 100!

How? Two action items: post more, recruit more. It’s really that simple. More posters is more posts, and more interest in GURPS.

Below you can find the blog activity from the last seven days. 47 posts to round out the week from 74 blogs. The Illias.de blog “My Rolling Thoughts” is finally in the mix!

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.
