Monster GURPSDay Summary June 29, 2018 – July 5, 2018

GURPSDay is currently pulling from 103 blogs on the roster. We picked up a new one today: The Lair of the Chaotic GM. It’s first on the list, so go check it out.

We’re closing in on 400% for the Hall of Judgment Kickstarter. The list of “what’s in it” gets more and more interesting, even to me, and I’m writing it. 18-20 pages about Isfjall, a nearly system-neutral “town” suitable for plunking down into any game. Thirteen new pre-gens. Likely two dozen new or variant monsters. Wilderness travel and survival rules. Plus the adventure itself, which also features three mini-dungeons (if you can find ’em) plus the main adventure track. All explorable in sandbox-style play with the six or so old maps (available in 32×40″ JPGs with separate 1-yard hex and 5′ square overlays. I have a rather extensive library of art from my other projects that I can bring to bear on this one. Good stuff.

Why “Monster” GURPSDay summary? That’s what I’m doing right now. Layout out monsters for Hall of Judgement.

Welcome to GURPSDay 2018, and its fifth year – GURPSDay started in February 2013,  a year after I started Gaming Ballistic.

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.
