The concept: Make tweets out of a bunch of minor GURPS houserule items, GM/player advice tidbits, and other tips & tricks, to have a bit of fun engaging with other gamers and get the #GURPS tag out there more.

Do forgive the overly abbreviated and janky writing. These were tweets, so the text is full of…
