It’s a New Year, and at the turn of each year we plot out where we want to be –yes, it’s resolution time…in no particular order:
1. Play something besides 4e. You won’t be hearing about it on this blog (see below), but I have a large RPG collection. The must plays on the list are Fear Itself/Esoterrorists (think CSI meets Chill), Werewolf: the Forsaken, and Dark Heresy.
2. Network more. In an ideal world I would know enough gamers to run or play whatever types of games I want at the drop of a hat. I need to post up
3. Get more Twitter friends. This is a goal and also a call to action. I’m gamefiend on Twitter, friend me! I won’t twitterspam and like to thank I’m pretty interesting. I’ve had a lot of interesting conversations and activity over twitter, and would love to connect with more of my readers through it.
4. Start yet another blog. Yes, I’m going to start another blog. I tend to keep my blogs separated by topic and very very specialized. My next project I’m thinking about might be an exclusively audio blog on a few other RPGs.
5. Collaborate more. I’ve already done some great collaboration with The Core Mechanic and Mad Brew Labs (hi guys!). And would love to work on more projects with more people.
6. Get published. Working on this with the collaborators above. I’ll keep you informed how this is going.
7. Design and publish a game. Right now I am obsessed with zombies, so I’d like to make the zombie game I’ve always wanted to play.
8. Increase readership. Yes, I want more readers! I figure this will be an by product of me producing useful content, so I keep my focus on that and let the rest sort itself out.
9. Write more. A simple goal in theory, but it can be hard in practice. I’ve gotten a lot better at carving out time, and have established a proper rhythm for blogging, so I’ll just keep that up.
10. Have fun! This is my resolution every year, and I see no reason to change it this year.
