Thursday is GURPSDay! May 24 to June 13, 2019

Thursday is GURPSDay, and I’m getting it on Thursday, as Odin intended, this week!

Still a bunch of new stuff, and three new blogs on the list, so scroll all the way down (the random order is, well, random, so at least one of the new folks is near the bottom this week). Catch up and get some repeat views and if you missed some. They’re in reverse chronological order, so if you’re up-to-date, just skim off the top!

News for Gaming Ballistic:

I received the advance copies of The Citadel at Nordvorn and Hall of Judgment 2nd Edition in hand today. They are VERY pretty. If you didn’t get them, well...it’s actually not too late…but in 24 hours, it might be. They arrive in the UK in the next day or two!
My new venture, Four Perilous Journeys, surged to over $40,000 and 608 Backers in Kickstarter, both new records for me. Now it’s full speed ahead and I hope to open Backerkit as soon as possible.

GURPSDay is in 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.
