The results were mixed, as usual. Here's the post where I presented the year's plans: My 2025 Tabletop Gaming Plan. Let's go through it, point by point.
Get more of my collection off the shelves and onto the tabletop.
Success! Five Parsecs From Home never made it to the table. But our group got to a good point to pause X1 The Isle of Dread and gave Tachyon Squadron a go. Lancer will have to wait until 2026.
Do something with the games I've Kickstarted or preordered as they come in.
I lied when I stated that no Kickstarter loot was coming my way in 2025. My backing An Infinity of Ships completely slipped my mind. I did read it as soon as it arrived, so that counts as doing something with it.
Presenting more of my tabletop gaming thoughts online.
I've been posted on Mastodon, Bluesky, and this blog on such an irregular basis that I can't call it a schedule. However, I have been posted. That's more than I can say for my neglected YouTube channel.
Make a dent in my pile of unread books (and not just TTRPG books).
Here's the books I recall reading this year. There might be one or two I'm overlooking. For example, I may have read Tachyon Squadron in 2025, but I can't remember the timing. It's been that kind of year.
Play Nice by Jason Schreier
I shared my thoughts about this book in this imaginatively titled post: Book Review: Play Nice by Jason Schreier.
An Infinity of Ships from STATIONS
A toolkit for building spaceships. Tables and tables of tables and tables broken up by Rob Turpin's wonderful illustrations. Originally conceived as a Mothership supplement, it carries that zany, irreverent flavor forward to the finished product.
On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century by Timothy Snyder
A delightfully subversive little book, especially for the times we are living in.
Lancer from Massif
I'm almost done with this chunky core book. Things are easier now that I'm in the setting section and don't have to process unfamiliar game mechanics. Hopefully, I'll have the time and focus to finish reading it before the end of the year. I'll certainly find a time to run it in 2026.
Make a dent in my pile of shame (miniatures and terrain).
Hard fail as projects ran into issues. I got very little done as far as actually putting paint on things, but did accomplish some preparations.
New year, new plan?
Not really. I'll likely either wing it or repeat the above plan because I can't come up with something better. Let's see what the new year brings!
