If I allowed DDI in my online games, it would be the same. I just do not like the rift it is causing, and would not like it even if I were on the other side of the rift.

2009:
Low Points:
Choosing to kick myself off my favorite world-building site for being a jerk and generally incompatible with most of what was going on.
An odd slowdown in products that catch my interest. (I'm normally incompatible with a majority of gaming products, but most of the time they at least look kind of interesting.)
Middling:
GMing my first ever game. Middling because it was something I've always wanted to do, but it died slowly and I'm still not sure if I was doing a good enough job. (Also not sure if I'm up for doing it again.)
High Points:
Mecha & Manga released for Mutants & Masterminds.
Fantasy Craft. Feels like something of a sleeper discover for me.
2010:
..........................................Every year I find myself feeling more and more like what I think my future is going to be like turns out to be wrong. I don't even hope any more, I just wait.

It's been an "interesting" year for me gaming-wise.
Lows
* One player getting sick for the first half of the year, severely limiting gaming opportunities.
* Having to kill my 2-year Fires of Amatsumara campaign when it became obvious that player unhappiness over various issues (and each other) couldn't be resolved.
* A short re-visit to an old campaign (by request) not going as well as I had hoped.
* Finally realising that my wifes gaming preferences are beginning to diverge significantly from the other players.
* Almost giving up running RPGs on Sunday.
Highs
* The new campaign (Livas), while having a shaky start, seems to have gripped everyone and have good potential.
* Renewed interest in publishing material for Polgarus Games (my small gaming company that I've neglected badly for several years).
Looking at 2010
* Looking forward to the Livas campaign continuing and growing stronger.

Low Points
- Losing one job unexpectedly at the end of May/beginning of June and my other job being spotty since this time last year. It cut into my gaming budget among other things
- Three members of my gaming group losing their jobs over the past three months. From a gaming stand point, it impacted their ability to travel to the games.
- Savage Worlds Conan won't be happening
- Outside of Mutants and Mastermnds products, Trailblazer, discovering Savage Worlds, and Adamant releasing products for Savage Worlds, there was not much else that I found interesting in RPGs for 2009.
- (edit) Not liking 4e, because Blackdirge's stuff looks awesome.
High Points
* Mecha and Manga for Mutants and Masterminds
* Adamant releasing Thrilling Tales 2e for Savage Worlds
* Adamant releasing Mars: Savage Worlds edition
* RPGObjects announcing a Savage World's Darwin's World
* Adamant's $1 sale that allowed me to buy Thrilling Tales 2e and Savage: Mars and raised my interest in Savage Worlds.
* My friend buying me Savage Worlds: Explorer Edition for the holidays.
* Savage Worlds: Explorer Edition impressing me since the Test Drive did not.
* Jon Rogers posting his True20 take on Parker from Leverage
2010
* Darwin's World for Savage Worlds will, hopefully, be out.
* Savage: Space 1889
* Hoping that Dog House Rules will release a Savage Worlds: Sidewinder: Recoiled.

High Points
* The Star Wars Saga Edition: Dawn of Defiance campaign that continued from Fall 2008 through Summer 2009. First long-term campaign I've played in since starting this hobby, and a lot of fun. (And my PC got the girl. )
* Continued SWSE support
* 6th Edition!
Low Points
* D&D Game Day and several products convincing me that 4E, much like 3E before it, isn't really what I want.
* Growing implications that SWSE is coming to an end.
* End of the SWSE campaign, and starting doctoral work means I'm not gaming once again for the moment.
2010
* At least two more SWSE products, including one (Galaxy of Intrigue) that I've wanted for years.
* More 6th Edition material
* The Castle Ravenloft board game
* The possibility of starting more gaming--one of my dorm mates has expressed a desire to run a BEMCI/RC D&D game . . .
