Oh yeah, it's a New Year

  • Jan. 1st, 2009 at 11:00 AM
I don't usually do New Year's Resolutions but looking back at 2008 I can't really say that I accomplished anything major on a personal level, so here goes:

1) I will finish my nearly completel fantasy novel first draft.
2) I will go to the gym regularly.
3) I will run or play at least three new tabletop RPG systems.

That last one is the only one sort of semi blog relevant, of course.  It's pretty close to the time where Shawn wants to hand off the reins on our mid week sessions, and I'm contemplating running a quick Spirit of the Century instead of the 4.0 scenario I've been planning.  Then there's Dogs in the Vineyard, which I have the PDF for, and Erik says he's willing to run some Unknown Armies and I'm invited, so I think I can manage it, if I can convince our group that they want to try new things. 

Ryan is usually up for anything, but Shawn is concerned that I'll poach players away from his longer campaign if SotC drags out longer than a couple sessions, and Rob tends to like games in which he gets to hit things a lot.  SotC probably fulfills that need, but Dogs?  From the look of it, heavy, involved roleplay is a core requirement.  All the relationship stuff and the basic premise and so on.  And to be honest that's what draws me to the game, so I'm not really willing to try and make it a fighty-fight sort of thing, although the gunfight mechanics look pretty fun.

I also want to run some more Don't Rest Your Head.  That series of sessions was the gaming high point of 2008.  If I could find some kind of online dice rolling app I'd even try running it online, over Skype or something, because I know people who don't live in my city who were gagging to play some after GenCon.  Any suggestions, oh my multitude of readers?  ;)

I'm usually up for trying anything new, yes ;)

Might be a bit tricky this spring though. Looking at my half marathon training schedule, looks like I'll be running 4 out of 5 days a week! Yikes!
