The Year in Review

I'm a little early this year, but I decided to publish my year-end review on the last Saturday of the month.

What was I up to this year?

Bye Bye!

Let's start with the obvious one.

I abandoned my old blog and started this one. I did this to emphasize cutting ties with miniatures. I've given up on minis - it's all counters all the time!

Bye bye, miniatures

All Over the Place

As usual, GADD struck and I ended up fiddling around with a slew of games and campaigns. Some were one offs and I haven't yet finished many of the campaigns

On my old blog:

• A Napoleonic Knockout campaign - completed with a Turkish victory
• Five Klicks from the Zone - I played a couple games
• Night Watch - test game
• Lion Rampant - played the first scenario  of A Viking in the Sun mini-campaign
• American Revolution in Florida campaign - I actually finished this campaign that I began years ago!
• Some aerial dogfights
• An ancient naval battle

And on this blog:

• Pyrrhus campaign - actually completed a short campaign! Ready for his next adventure.
• Fiddled with skirmish games and started the Snorin the dwarf campaign
• Ganesha Games' Demonslayer
• Micro Dungeon - a new RPG-light approach, which I'm using to finish the Icespire Peak module

Whew, I was busy!

Prognostications

I started the year with a prediction on where my gaming would go. Let's see how I did.

• The Slows - I expected a slow year. Wrong! As you can see above, I dabbled with a lot of different games and had many more blog posts compared to 2023.
• Summer Song - I thought my LARP group might play Song of Blades & Heroes over the summer. Wrong! We never got around to it, although we played a lot of board games.
• Printer - I wanted to get my own printer. Right!
• LARP - I expected to be busy with LARP. Interestingly, I mentioned two LARP organizations but have done little with those. However, my local group has gotten a few solid new members so it's going better than expected. So I'll call this Right!

A 50% success rate. Not bad for me!
