Are we counting Obsidian Portal campaign logs as "GURPS blogs" for purposes of this thread? If so, I have a "clog" for my Transhuman Space game, "In the Shadows of Venus." You can find it here

Guys,

Websites devote to campaigns, Play-By-Web pages, and so on DEFINITELY count. Post 'em if you got 'em.

Might I suggest that you edit your first post, much like the e23 releases thread?

We could even have some categories, though that could be some discussion as to what ("General Gaming," "GURPS-focused," "Campaign Blog (SYSTEM)" for examples).

Or just ask for a blog URL and a ten-word-or-less descriptor, and put all the blogs in one lead post (including your own, of course!)

That way we really do have a one-stop shop.

It's not entirely GURPS-specific, but I do spent a good deal of my time on GURPS-related stuff there: http://rpgsnob.blogspot.com/

Right now my posting rate is sketchy (move across country at the end of August has us on regular packing duty) but will resume shortly. Hoping to have something for Melee Thursday, but not sure I'll make it.

Everyone should have something for Melee Academy/Melee Thursday!

Serously: this Thursday's topic is "Ranged Combat." Which is, as you might suspect, odd for a "Melee Academy." But hey, sometimes you have to provide smackdown from a distance.

The Melee Academy series is something that cropped up and we usually post links on various Google Communities. But of course, after that, I collect all the links and put them on the page above.

It's good reading.

ottgaming It's heavily Dungeon Fantasy centered, but there's material from other systems and other group members stuff too.

I put a fair bit of stuff on my personal page at ottgaming, especially notes for games in progress (or formerly in progress) and adventure design. The material is a bit disjoint, but it can plumbed for ideas.

My RPG page is almost-exclusively GURPS, including the much-beloved combat examples, a variety of downloadable PDFs, and write-ups of some of my past campaigns and convention one-shots.

My Game Geekery Blog is "Musings on GURPS, the RPG hobby, and assorted Geekery."

Mook's write-up of his one-shot GURPS: Jem & the Holograms game is my go-to link to share with people who wonder why you might want a generic, universal system. It is an archetypal example of what you can do when the fetters come off.

That is a fantastic idea. I can't get to it currently. Should have it fixed in a few days. Till now. Please post away your GURPS-related sites guys. :-)

My and Cernig's GURPS cyberpunk campaign Edgerunners is up on Obsidian Portal. It includes a lot of stuff, from a number of house rules to AI templates to the very detailed, almost transcript-like (OK, created from actual transcripts) campaign adventure logs.

Edgerunners won Campaign of the Month on OP back in October of last year, so apparently we're doing something right.
