This year I accomplished a lot of ttrpg goals. I ran at a convention for the first time (PAX Unplugged), my Worlds Without Number campaign is thriving, and I'm rediscovering a lot of the joy I had missed from running the game.
That's not to say I didn't like running the game. Only that the enjoyment was more from the shared experience and not my role. Since attending PAX and starting to blog again I have remembered things about running the game that sparked a lot of joy for me. Such as structuring prep to where it is fun. I found an old sketch book that has been unused for years and using it to draw dungeons has been envigorating. I am very optimistic about 2024 and I cannot wait to see what it brings us!

This is a lot less than I did in 2022 and 2021. Mostly because my main DM campaign and player campaign are both in WWN. I also think this is the first year since I started playing ttrpgs (2017) that I did not play D&D 5e. Interesting! That being said: I want to experience more systems in 2024.
That is a great segway into my 2024 goals!

Thank you to anyone who takes a minute to read my ramblings. I wish you nothing but great things in the year to come!
Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI haven't found a dungeon writing process that I've liked and I sometimes feel like dungeon writing is wasted prep if it doesn't get used. Reading So You Want to Be a Game Master definitely has a process that has piqued interest enough that I want to give writing a dungeon a shot in 2024.
