GURPSDay! July 5 to July 25, 2019

Today is once again GURPSDay, and here’s the last three weeks of posts! I’m still not quite yet at a point to get myself back to regular blogging again. I’m hoping sometime in the next month things will shape up. If nothing else, a return to school days for the kids – where they have to go to bed (and get up) earlier will return some evening hours to me with which I can engage in more writing.

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!

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 moving forward; the books should have made landfall in Newark, NJ yesterday or today, and from this point, it’s a matter of “when do they clear customs” for the clock to be started.
• Art is starting to really flow in for all five Perilous Journeys, and they’re still available for pre-order. All five covers are ready to rock. All counter art (the most numerous type) is commissioned and in progress. I’ve got some good movement on the internal art for Curse of the Pirate King; the other three primary GM’d adventures have been distributed to backers in “prelim” form, for review. Most comments received are helpful, actionable, and reasonable.

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.
