With the dawn of a new year, it’s time to look back on my 2019 resolutions<\/a> to see how many of them I actually did and how many of them I failed. It’s also time to make some new ones for 2020, but that’s going to wait for another post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best. Game. Ever.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Last year I listed my top 5 games that I wanted to play. They were: Gaslands (nope), Star Trek Adventures (yep), Legends of the Old West (nope), Dungeon Saga (nope) and Super Mission Force (nope). This is truly abysmal. This year I bought the second edition of Gaslands without ever having played a game of the first edition, which I have owned since its publication. Also, despite painting the entire Dungeon Saga board game, I haven’t played one game of it. Most surprising is that I didn’t play any games of Super Mission Force all year, despite getting the 2nd edition and despite the fact that I LOVE the game!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I DID manage to run two games for Star Trek Adventures for some old friends; one using the Original Series<\/a> bridge crew and one using the Next Generation crew. I really like the game, but so far my attempts at starting up a campaign have come to nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moving on to projects I wanted to complete in 2019, I wanted to paint more old-school miniatures, which I did.<\/a> I wanted to write a game of my own; I am happy to report I have at least made a start at that. I wanted to start a gaming club (perhaps my loftiest goal), which I did not meet (or even try to start). I wanted to paint a new army or complete an entirely new gaming project, which I think I did, although “complete” may not be accurate (see below). Lastly, I wanted to paint my Star Trek miniatures, which I certainly did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, Star Trek gaming turned out to be my big project for 2019. I have painted 46 Modiphius Trek miniatures alone. That doesn’t count all the Trek Heroclix I have REpainted. As of now, I have close to 60 Star Trek miniatures painted and ready to go, whereas I had exactly zero in 2018. Not too shabby. And I’m not done: I have two more Modiphius sets coming up soon, and a dozen or so ‘clix to repaint to supplement my forces. Considering how much I’m loving the Fantastic Worlds Star Trek stuff, I don’t see myself stopping soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, I wanted to take part in and\/or possibly host a challenge, and I did both. I contributed to Forgotten Heroes<\/a> again this year with Zangief<\/a> and La Bandera<\/a>; and I hosted the first ever Terrain Time<\/a> here at Dead Dick’s Tavern, which allowed me to see some truly inspiring work from everyone who built something for the challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, all in all, it was a pretty productive hobby year, despite not having much in the way of actual gaming to report. Hopefully that will change in 2020!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
