It was @Blanick that first used the book GDT last year, at least first on our board. I agree with you that I'd like to see some variety in the GDTs and that sometimes half-assed ones can be more fun than formal full-assed ones. However, even if repeated, the book ones are very nice and takes work. Its not very rewarding, but they make our board look better and bring the community together. Blanick has worked very hard on numerous GDTs, many original. So please don't give him grief, accuse him of plagiarism, or continuously complain. He does not deserve that.

Those are just a few of the ones Blanick did last year. I think he deserves thanks and appreciation more than complaints. If someone wants a shot at being more creative, they can sign up here. Otherwise, be grateful someone cares enough to create a template to repeat nice threads quickly.
Also, everyone should click on the links and give Blanick a much belated "like" on those if you haven't.
Thanks for this. Yes as an adult with a full time job and dating a women with two children, time is very much a factor on how unique my GDTs will be. I may even make new versions of some of the ones posted by @Majorityof1 . I am quite partial to the Star Wars one. I also have few new ideas I am toying with. Even yes a Ghostbusters themed one just for you @Ranksu
