Thursday is GURPSDay! June 21 to July 11, 2019

Thursday is GURPSDay, and it’s on time this week!

Still hoping things are headed in a “calming down” direction that will let me return to some actual blogging. Ask me again next week.

Scroll all the way down (the random order is, well, random). 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! We see the return of Shooting Dice these last three weeks, so that’s great news for fans of Hans-Christian Vortisch.

News for Gaming Ballistic:

The first edition of Hall of Judgment hardcover is on sale for 50% off at both the Gaming Ballistic store and Warehouse 23. Pick it up for $12.50.
The Citadel at Nordvorn, Hall of Judgment 2nd Edition, and Fantastic Dungeon Grappling print books US arrival schedule is set, with August 5 being the date they should arrive at Studio 2 in TN, and thus folks “should” have their stuff in hand by maybe Aug 21 or sooner.
Art is starting to really flow in for all five Perilous Journeys, and they’re still available for pre-order. Contracted and approved the cover sketch for Vampire Hunter Belladonna, the 32-page solo adventure currently being written by David Pulver.
I discussed project schedules for the next two DFRPG items with SJG
I had a VERY good CONVergence, at minimum breaking even, and scoring my first big retail order from a local buyer while I was there. Great fun.

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.
