GURPSDay Summary Nov 17 – Nov 26, 2017

Bygamingballistic

So: GURPSDay! This week overlaps big news in GURPSdom, which is that SJG has decided to release GURPS PDFs by DriveThruRPG, which includes a ton of associated digital publishers. I’ve had customer numbers for my own Dungeon Grappling which indicate that there are over 1.4 million folks who have come through those doors; Robert Conley has done some digging and shown similar large (and growing) numbers. This is a good step for GURPS (and hopefully a good step for GURPS authors, as well, since those of us with multiple outlets for our works can see knock-on effects. Looking up Douglas H. Cole or Peter Dell’Orto now shows work for multiple systems, which is fantastic.

I wonder if they’ll offer up individual issues of Pyramid one day? In any case, big news, and good. Without further ado, here’s the pull for this week.

We’re currently drawing content from 94 blogs. We added two to the rolls: n-Body Politics by kreios, and Daydreams of a Dragon, by Dragondog. We’re still picking up some feed issues with them, but once they’re solved, we’re that much closer to having 100 GURPS blogs.

We still need your help. And if you just started a GURPS blog – and I know that some of you have – email me and get on the list! With the advent of the Dungeon Fantasy RPG, Powered by GURPS, there’s even more reason to write.

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.

Thoughts from the WRX: Critical death

Another thought from the car. Driving home, I was thinking about the somewhat contrived situation where you have achieved total surprise on a high-level character – someone or something with lots of HP. You can certainly roleplay a coup de grace, or a sneak attack, and your GM can say “Yep, you know he dead.”…

The Nordlond Bestiary was accepted on Kickstarter today! This enables the pre-launch page, which notifies people when the campaign launches. What’s the book? I would really (!!) appreciate if you’d click that button if you’re interested in the book. To do it like the monstrous, um, manual I think we’ve always wanted for Powered by…

Having delved and fought, the party withdrew, replaced a Ranger with a Fighter, and then re-entered the following day. This time, the rogue approached silently and well, and managed to get the drop on the two kobolds who had brought their mastiffs to guard the entrance after the demise of the guardian hobgoblins the previous…

AAAAHHHH!! No, no. We’re good here.

Been head down for a bit. Kickstarter April 2. Once the gawrsh dang video is in the can (tomorrow I hope), I can start actually breathing again. Assuming my marauding cat doesn’t eat me. She’s hankering for some vengeance after the claw clipping, I think. She’s circling like a (Cat) Sith Lord. Soon, I breathe…

Ballistic’s Report for Week Ending Feb 11, 2022

Bygamingballistic

This last week was about revisions and updates to the Bestiary, plus a bit of inhale-exhale. The project is really close to entering the printing phase, and the focus is on purging errors from the main draft. The last week was primarily about getting to a complete version of the book. That happened on Feb…
