GURPSDay! July 26 to Aug 23, 2019

Today is once again GURPSDay, and here’s the last four weeks of posts! Things are starting to wind down on Four Perilous Journeys, so hopefully a bit calmer around here.

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 Citadel at Nordvorn, Hall of Judgment 2nd Edition, and Fantastic Dungeon Grappling print books are in the process of being fulfilled. They may even be done. Folks are getting their books
• If you ordered a physical copy of Dungeon Grappling, I’m working to get a reprint. The first trial from PubGraphics was too dark; a second proof should be arriving shortly that’s 10% lighter.
  • Lost Hall of Tyr 2nd Edition got replenished at Studio 2; these will fulfill normally.
  • For nearly everyone else, if you don’t have your stuff by September 1, contact me immediately.
• I’m only waiting for ship approval on the last two books for Four Perilous Journeys. The other three have been distributed. Once I get ship approval, I’ll get the five books to the printer and then reformat the printable counter PDF as well as assemble the NPC card deck.

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.
