GURPSDay Summary Aug 11 – Aug 21, 2017

Thursday is GURPSDay – but GenCon 50 messed up my schedule, so I will post as much as I can since Aug 11!

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.

GenCon: The Big, The Free, and The Teardown (8/21/17)
Ceteri Campaign S0E10 – Ghoul on Fire (8/15/17) – The Ceteri B-Team executes the recon in force into the tunnels and train station. We are expecting a straight-up search-and-fight; what we get is a rescue situation that is also search-and-fight. The ghouls are much less tough than we think, for Reasons. The final fight is much, much tougher for Other Reasons. Some character-driven plot points take dangerous turns for the worse. A solid game.
