Thank you to the GURPS community and fans for helping us hit this milestone. We rolled over 100,000 lifetime page views on this blog last night, and we are on our way to a million. My main SBRPG blog has 1.5 million lifetime views (we hit 1 million this summer, and we have accelerated since), and according to Google's AI, only the top 5 or 6 tabletop hobby blogs ever reach 1 million+ lifetime hits. It helps that we have been around for 15+ years on SBRPG and have kept things consistent.
GURPS is my second top-performing blog, and it still moves the needle in views and attention. That is good news for GURPS in a hobby dominated by 5E and D&D; we do good traffic here, and GURPS feels mainstream. Daily blog posts and GURPS discussion show the world that people play here and share ideas and adventures.
And I know blogs are nothing compared to YouTube's reach and power, but blogs are still a core part of the hobby, especially for the old-school crowd and those who like to read. I like to write, keep writing, and practice and share every day, so blogs are part of my hobby. I can't watch YouTube videos at work, but I can read a blog. Not all engagement is video content.
One million lifetime views for a GURPS blog will be a huge achievement, a major feather in the GURPS community's hat, and we get closer every day.
