Three years, and I’m still sort of here.

For various reasons, my personal accounting of years begins in October, not January, but the turning of the calendar seems to be a more commonly-accepted time for annual recaps (and I did actually spin up this thing in January 2023, so it fits in this case).

2023 was a year of heavy posting (due in part to New Toy Syndrome), with 126 entries. I slowed down heavily in 2024, with only 51 posts, and none during football season (while I give no shits about football, my day job means it cuts into my fall gaming time quite heavily). 2025 has been slightly better for content, with 106 posts – though that’s a bit artificially inflated due to my participation in Character Creation Challenge 2025.

Competing demands, low energy levels, and the scheduling complexities of gaming in middle age have kept me from getting in more than a handful of Kaserne on the Borderlands sessions last year. I did start Somewhere West of Light as a side campaign, though I’ve done a lousy job of keeping up with session logs. I also attempted to start a Discord chat-based Shadowrun 3e campaign for my wife and her Tumblr bestie, but that does not seem to have gotten any traction. As a player, my gaming was limited to a handful of D&D 5e sessions with NLP and the one-shots I was able to get at RiverCityCon and CharCon.

As I’ve remarked before, one of the main sources of content here has been a 30-year backlog of various gaming-related things that I’ve posted elsenet or never actually released for public consumption before. With the exception of a handful of pieces that I’m saving for specific times or occurrences, that well is now dry. Going forward, almost everything here will be new content.

I did turn on commenting a few months ago, mainly to enable my players to provide their perspectives on session writeups. If the spam moderation requirements become too onerous, I’ll flip the switch again.
