GURPSDay Summary Jul 28 – Aug 3, 2017

Thursday is GURPSDay! It’s been a good week, and we even got a new release today: Steampunk Conveyances. This book launches the Vehicles series, which will present ready-to-use thematically grouped, well, vehicles.

Welcome to the second year of GURPSDay, and here’s the pull for this week.

We’re currently drawing content from 89 blogs. Only 11 more to go until we’re pulling from 100! But we’ll need your help.

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 for the last week. There’s a whole lotta awesome GURPS going on. Read all the posts.

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. Take special note of the RSS Settings Fix if you’re on WordPress.

Gaming Ballistic (Douglas Cole)

• Aggressive Shield Use in GURPS (8/04/17) – After a few other more general posts on shield use, I muse on a very optional and completely untested way to represent setting a defensive line with the shield by modeling it as an attack. I borrow from Setup Attacks, Deceptive Attacks, and kinda-sorta Technical Grappling, but don’t really address how it will interact with the rest of the offensive/defensive options in GURPS.
