Here are some Trad Games related Resolutions I'd like to follow through on: Work on a dungeon a day, at least 30 minutes Finish that board game I'd designed a while ago. Finish a setting. Finish painting my empire army. Paint my bones goblins and kobolds. Make a character for every RPG I own and chronicle the experience Quantumfate fucked around with this message at 01:03 on Jan 4, 2015 |

I guess I may as well do this. Try running a game for my friends in a setting I create. I have only ever run a couple sessions of Eberron 3.5, and want to try something newer. Try to play another PbP, though that won't happen until near the summer starting. Graduate college.

It's depressingly simple, but I'd like to finish a campaign, instead of having it fall apart like every other game I've been part of. Non TG related, I'd like to see my GPA get back above 3.5 instead of being lazy.

Gaming: Play or run a regular, continuous plot RPG of at least 6-10 sessions (this is the big one). Try more online/PBP gaming. Play way more Sails of Glory. Try to start collecting/painting some historical minis and then play games with them (probably Flames of War, possibly something ancient, but no fantasy or scifi) Complete at least one of my project games and give it away somehow. Non-gaming: Average no fewer than 2 BJJ classes per week for the year (not barring injuries - I will need to catch up if I miss stuff). Sword-fight at least a bit (with a group that focuses on the fighting rather than costumes and stuff, probably HEMA this time). I start and stop this every few years. Go on more actual adventures (like, hiking, climbing, camping, etc) like I used to.

Get my Master's thesis done so I'll finally have a marginally less useless degree. Actually finish one of my various homebrew RPGs and publish it in some form or another. Play a campaign from start to finish instead of constantly starting new ones that trail off because we can never schedule games beyond a couple of sessions. Related to the above, actually find a stable group with a steady gaming schedule.

TG: I'm going to put together a board game group in my new, fair city and try to cut back on spending now that I've put a collection together I'm happy with. (Except Vlaada.) I'd like to be more of a produce of content than a taker, so I'm going to make something game related within the next year. non-TG: Perform more shows with my group(s) and figure out how to make my artistic career take over my boring (and crushingly low-paying) regular career. Develop one healthy, weight-losing habit per season.

To everyone trying to lose weight: it's very, very unlikely that you will. Here's why in a nutshell. Adipocytes, or fat cells, store a variable amount of fat. When they get too full, they split to make more. When they get empty, they stop releasing leptin, the hormone that makes you stop feeling hungry. Fat people have more adipocytes than skinny people. Losing weight doesn't reduce your number, it just reduces the fat stored in each cell. So if you're significantly below the highest weight you've ever been, your fat cells are never going to produce leptin and you'll be hungry forever. I'm sure some of you have personally experienced this. It's why, even though it's possible to lose weight, everyone eventually gains it back. Here's a National institute of Health article about the (un)successfulness of weight loss programs http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1580453 . It shows what I said, that even though people can lose weight they will gain it back. Here's a much larger study by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reaching the same conclusions: http://ajcn.nutrition.org/content/74/5/579.full Happy 2015. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

This past year I basically accomplished nothing other than maintaining the status quo. I worked on stuff, but I never actually managed to finish anything. I'd like this year to be different. By this time last year, I would like to have accomplished the following: 1) Get a presentable/playable version of my jrpg tabletop emulator game, Endless Adventures, done. Even if it's only done with the 8-bit aesthetic rather than the 16-bit one I'd originally intended. 2) A holdover from last year's resolutions that didn't happen: Release a core rules version of the Circumstance System. 3) Revisit some other long-idle backburner projects like Tale of Phantasmal Land and Galavant! Space Hijinx. 4) Keep drinking the same or, rather, at least avoid drinking more.

Well here's mine; TG: Successfully run at least one session of a RPG(over the last 10 years I've tried at least a dozen times to run something across at least 8 different systems and not once have I made it past Character Creation with my group of friends, to the point that it's been almost 3 years since I last put a serious attempt in), can't completely guarantee this one since most of my RL friends live in another county, I can't drive, and I'm not comfortable with running an RPG online for multiple reasons Start doing reviews for RPG stuff(own a lot of RPG stuff and if I can't run anything with it, might as well do something productive with it) RL: Get a job(might actually succeed at this one since my dad might have some work for me in the near future at his shop) Lose at least 10 pounds Be better about my spending Save up at least 300 Dollars for this year's Anime Expo in July(not counting ticket or Hotel fare) Try and make friends in my current location(have lived in my current city for more than a year, and have barely interacted with anyone in the area besides the family members who I live with, and while the friends I had back in my hometown are still some of the most important people in my life, I also need friends who I can interact in person with more than a couple times every month or two) See a dentist(it's been at least 5 years since I last saw one, and I probably need one badly) Fix my screwy sleep schedule Can't think of anything else for now, so that will do

So yesterday I GMed a session of Deadlands Reloaded. We all had fun, but quickly discovered that the ability to for dice to explode at low values (25% for 1d4 vs. 10% for 1d10) meant that we got a few unearthly results. Our Martial artist got an 18 on Stealth despite having a d6 in it, and our gunslinger dealt 14 damage after scoring a raise on his shooting roll and heavily wounded the first vicious monster we encountered. The rules felt rather fiddly, and we all have some reserves about the system. But we plan on having another session next week. So the RPGs I have left are 13th Age, Dungeon Crawl Classics, Dungeon World, Eclipse Phase, Mouse Guard, and Spears of the Dawn.

I'll add getting back to my board game idea. I have the basic mechanics, win conditions, and a rough idea for how the map should work but still need to actually make the map, create cards for various challenges and items, and assign arbitrary numbers to them. Then play testing. Lots of play testing.

I'll throw my hat in. Gaming - Out of my 150-ish board games, I've only gotten plays in on about 60%. I want to get that to 85%. I'll have to enlist my game group on this, who tend to want to play a lot of the same old, or tend not to play the heavier Euros which make up a lot of my unplayed games. Probably need to stop buying so many drat games, too. - Paint my copy of Space Hulk (4th ed). Better get my rear end started. - Play a tabletop RPG for at least 6 sessions. - Actually win a game of 40k: Conquest. I love this game, but I just don't grok the strategy yet. Life - Pay off my credit card. Already on track to do this. - Pass my certification exam (for work), and work on the next level of certification. - Lose some weight. Yes, I already read the bullshit above. Chronic Reagan fucked around with this message at 20:39 on Jan 19, 2015 |
