- Travel to a couple cons
- Write more (read: at all)
- Test a game in my development queue
- Play in a few Gauntlet Games

- Run more games by smaller/independent designers
- Write some small games??
- Get this David Lynch-esque surreal city landscape quarterly campaign out of my head and someplace in the actual world
Yass definitely run HoW! Excited to hear about it if/when you do
With pleasure. Do you still have tips for matching series, which can be found on Amazon or YouTube or elsewhere? I found one without subtitles. Nice to look at, but I just do not understand anything
The Blade of Destiny, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Hero, IP Man are all possible touchstones if I recall. @Agatha probably knows more.
-
Play and run games from my collection.
-
Attend Metatopia.
-
Move a few game designs towards completion.
- go to at least one con. (I haven’t been to one in over 15 years)
- try out more one-shots
- play more gm-less and gm-full games
- do more f2f facilitating
A new goal: my partner and I want to establish our home as a hub for a more diverse local indie tabletop community. We have a really beautiful shared space and it’s important to both of us to give back to our friends and support creativity at, and around, the table

I have all these same goals!
I’ve been thinking about this a lot and I think the answer is: do a wider variety of things.
Play game systems that are very different from each other
Play different formats (one-shots, campaigns, rotating casts, etc.)
Play with a variety of people
The last two years I’ve mostly played games within the same systems and with a steady group playing campaigns. I’ve enjoy those games and will still play with my weekly group…but I’m ready to expand my range. So far this year I’ve already played 5 new game systems and each one opens my mind to how many different things games can do.
So I haven’t been able to play much lately because of school and health, so my main goal is to play RPGs that make me happy with good people.
I’ve made a step in one of my goals: I posted a No Country for Old Kobolds event in April
- Get more involved with my semi local queer gaming organization
- Run at least 1 one shot at one of their meetups (I signed up to run Beyond the Wall and Other Adventures in April)
- Go to at least one con
- Play at least one game online
- Convince one of my in person GMs to run something other than D&D so I can actually play something other than D&D
- Run Masks for my Friday night playgroup
- Run my D&D game for my little siblings at least semi-regularly and try to instill non-murder hobo instincts in them
