GURPSDay Summary Aug 18 – Aug 24, 2017

Bygamingballistic

Thursday is GURPSDay – but GenCon 50 messed up my schedule, so while this week covers the usual dates (Aug 18 through Aug 24), you will see some repeated posts from last time, which went through the 21st. That’s OK. There’s been a lot of post-GenCon content; that many gamers in one spot fired folks up.

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.

Delvers to Grow: Scout (Guest Post, Kalzazz)

I am halfway through writing up my own version of this post, but was going to try doing something unusual, a 500+ point scout who favors a staff-sling or heavy sling, as that featured prominently in my FnordCon5 Meatgrinder scenario, and I wanted to see what could be done there. It ran into several rules…

Ballistic’s Report: How to Write Adventure Modules that Don’t Suck

Bygamingballistic

I backed the Kickstarter by Goodman Games promising a collection of essays entitled “How to Write Adventure Modules that Don’t Suck” out of genuine interest and curiosity in the subject matter.  In the first place, advice and considered thought on how to write adventure modules (which I’ll refer to as adventures or scenarios interchangeably in this review)…

Unpacking Failed Attack Rolls in GURPS

Bygamingballistic

There’s an interesting (drink!!*) thread over on the GURPS forums about what a “miss” means. It’s called Failed Attack Rolls, and there’s a concept in there that, especially coming from the source, makes one go “Hmmm” a lot. Let’s start with two quotes, both originating from Sean Punch, AKA Dr Kromm, the GURPS Line Editor….

GURPS Hexworld Challenge (with extra bonus Hite action!)

A week or so ago, I tossed down a concept about how one could encourage flexible and modular “setting” design supporting the upcoming Dungeon Fantasy RPG (Powered by GURPS). The goal would be to have ready-to-inspire areas to tromp around in, kill monsters, and take their stuff. The idea was reasonably well received. Some active…

Dragon Heresy: Way too much fun with Photoshop mockups

Today I posted a bit on the Discord channel and got some interesting feedback about what some folks want to see as part of a Kickstarter. One comment – fairly easily accommodated – is that they liked graphical pictures of the rewards. Links were provided, he said in passive voice. Still, it is nice to…

Making grapples suck less in armed combat

Bygamingballistic

Last post of Melee Academy was on getting into CC range with a grapple in one turn. +Mark Langsdorf picked up on this and showed a higher-percentage option to get into CC that takes two turns, and by his own notes, is really good at negating the hated Defense Bonus of a shield. Martin Leuschen made a…
