November Snows

This has surely been a strange and ominous year. In the midst of it, though, I've had a chance to play some games: Let's reflect! I've written about

Chainmail

Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition

Final Fantasy XIV

Forbidden Lands

Lamentations of the Flame Princess

Pathfinder

Savage Worlds

Starfinder

Swords & Wizardry

On this blog, and I've also had an opportunity to get into:

De Bellis Antiquitatis (DBA)

Frostgrave

Saga: Age of Magic

Saga: Age of Vikings

Warhammer 40,000

Plus a few scattered board games and video games here and there.

Crusader Kings III

Darkest Dungeon

Neverwinter Nights Enhanced Edition
Sea of Thieves

Terraria

Not too shabby. And if the world outside my walls is going to be plague-ridden forever, well, I'm excited to find out what games I'll play in 2021. Until my comeuppance arrives, Masque of the Red Death-style, I will keep rolling dice with my fellow survivors. Yes, 90% of our interactions are online-only. Yes, I've painted a silly number of minis this year for Warhammer and other minis games, in the vain hope that someday the plague will end, and others may finally see them. Yes, I'm going to show them off. Scroll down.

My current schedule of game projects looks like:

Running a Swords & Wizardry Campaign on Tuesdays
Running a 5th Ed. Dungeons & Dragons campaign on Thursdays
Playing in three different 5th Ed. Dungeons & Dragons campaigns on dates TBD.
All via Roll20 + Discord, naturally. Social distancing and being a responsible human being and all that.

Which is honestly more-than-enough to keep me entertained.

As the snows hit, and the hibernation instinct sets in once more, let's reflect on a solid year of gaming, yeah?

Saga: Age of Vikings. A game best played outdoors in the Fall, with plenty of Oktoberfest.

Some of my Frostgrave roster.

Our motley band of heroes from our Curse of the Pearl campaign (minus our warlock ofc)

The World Map from Curse of the Pearl.

Some Swords + Wizardry Treasures.

Mythic Battles Pantheon! I almost forgot. A perfect one-a-year draft game, imo!

And last but not least, some chunky polygons from Neverwinter Nights: Shadows of Undrentide, which vaguely resemble the elf and dwarf waifu tag team of my dreams, haha
