GURPSDay Summary Aug 3, 2018 – Aug 9, 2018

Just a brief bit of narcissism: I find myself for the first time with two projects simultaneously at the printer. Hall of Judgment zipped through preproduction and prepress so fast it was dizzying. That print run of 500 will be ready on or about Aug 22. If you’re an “international backer,” meaning you’re outside the easy, domestic reach of USPS Media Mail, you will want to go to the Pre-Order Page for Hall of Judgment and get a print copy reserved, so that you can benefit from shipping rates from the UK. The other thing is that today I should be receiving the final, updated signature proof (16 pages, full color, unbound) for Dragon Heresy. I expect that will be fine, since the other 17 signatures were fine, and printing will begin. Sometime soon I will receive 6 advance copies of the book by courier, and I will post pictures of the reason I started Gaming Ballistic as a company in the first place.

But . . . to GURPS! GURPSDay is currently pulling from 103 blogs on the roster.

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.
