2017: A Year in Summary

Wow, nothing since July of last year, and coming back out my lowest posting year since I started this thing 11 years ago. This doesn't mean I've fallen out of the hobby. Far from it, in fact, I've just not had an opportunity to post, since a lot of my things have been sitting in storage for a long time (including my PC) in preparation for an eventual move. I have a ton of aborted posts in my drafts, actually. Some of it Actual Play, some just discussion topics.

To kick the year off, I've decided to repeat what I did in 2015 and 2017, and give you a glimpse of how I spent the previous year interacting with nerd stuff and entertainment of various kinds. I understand that what I do with my free time probably isn't entertaining to most of you, but you never know if you'll find a book, movie, tv show, or gaming product that you might be unfamiliar with and may want to check out.

Feel free to ask questions about, comment on, or make fun of anything on the list!

*Games with names other than mine in parenthesis denote who ran those campaigns.

This was in my drafts for a long while, as you can tell by the timestamp. As it stands, only the Legacy of Fire, Dead Suns, and Exalted games are still running from those listed above. Shadowrun was our last game to come to an end, and I currently switch out my Legacy of Fire every other week with Sam's Tal'Dorei 5e D&D game.
