GURPSDay Summary Feb 23, 2018 – Mar 1, 2018

Welcome to GURPSDay 2018, and the fourth year – GURPSDay started in February 2013, only a year after I started Gaming Ballistic.

We’re currently drawing content from 98 blogs. We are so very, very close 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.

Frak Frel and Other F Words (Rigil Kent)

• Game Prep: Monsaanti-Neogene Corporation (2/28/18) – Stating out an “evil korp” that my Traveller PCs are fighting against. Utilized the template found in Boardroom and Curia.
• Game Prep: Porozlo Skimmers (2/27/18) – Figuring out the stats for available “air car” which will come into play during session 4.07. References to Ultra-Tech and Traveller: Interstellar Wars. Stats are somewhat abused.
• Game Prep: Imperial Envoys (2/26/18) – Fleshing out my Imperial Envoy, which is a special intelligence agent who answers directly to the sub-sector duke. Think a Mass Effect Spectre or Star Wars Emperor’s Hand or non-extremist 40K Inquisitor but in the Traveller universe. No stats abused, but I do reference some expected advantages & disadvantages that an Envoy will have.
• Game Prep: Traveller, 4.07 (2/25/18) – Making plans for the 7th session of our ongoing game, also known as me scrambling to rewrite following the madness caused by PCs. This is mostly stream of consciousness rambling. No stats abused but references made to Action and Ultratech.
• Recap and GM Notes: Traveller 4.06 (2/25/18) – Musing about the GURPS: Traveller game I ran on 2/24/18. Includes a link to the YouTube recording of our stream. No stats abused.
• Game Prep: Porozlo (2/23/18) – My take on Porozlo/Rhylanor in our ongoing GURPS: Traveller game. No stats abused, although several GURPS books referenced.
