Thursday is GURPSDay! March 15 to March 21, 2019
This week brings to a close the week of blatantly shilling for the Dungeon Fantasy RPG Kickstarters. Both Citadel at Nordvorn and the Dungeon Fantasy Monsters 2 and Boxed Set Reprint campaigns end this weekend, with DFM2 closing tomorrow (Friday), and Citadel coming to an end on Sunday. Both funded and passed at least one stretch goal, and Citadel – which had fewer to begin with – is on the cusp of passing another.
Dungeon Fantasy Monsters 2/Boxed Set Reprint
The DFM2 campaign is currently past $50,000, and since one can see an additional 20-25% funding in the last two days of a campaign, it’s not over yet to get the $60,000 stretch goal. If you’re a backer, you can also answer Phil Reed’s question “What next?” by commenting on Update 14.
The Citadel at Norðvorn
The Citadel at Nordvorn turned from “gee, that’s worrisome” at the beginning to “Gaming Ballistic’s Best Kickstarter Ever.” It is already the best funded by several thousand dollars, and has 515 backers, which is 10 fewer than Hall of Judgment ended with, and 100 more than Hall of Judgment was three days before it ended. It’s already at 112 pages, Fantastic Dungeon Grappling will be inside the boxed set, and we’re $500 from making it 128 pages. From this point in HoJ to close, it picked up 26% additional funding. If we do that from here, the campaign will hit $24,570 . . . just $430 short of the offset print run. Of course, to do that, we’ll need 144 more backers at the current average pledge level. That last goal is going to be close!
Please jump on!
Back to GURPSDay
We have a new blog this week! Three Hundred and Thirty Three, by Michael Keenan, who has started off strong with ten posts this week!
GURPSDay is starting its sixth – GURPSDay started in February 2013, a year after I started Gaming Ballistic. Things have slowed down a bit, and I’ll be considering how to revitalize this weekly activity. I’d like to see an average of 100 posts here per week – one per blog, ish – so we’ll see what we can do to get creative juiced flowing.
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.
