D&D General How much goofing off did you do in 2025?

This is a poorly titled thread. Like does goofing off mean playing RPGs or avoiding playing when you have the time/opportunity?

As for me,

• I ran 13 sessions (1 of which was a 1-on-1 session for a PC separated from the rest of the party) for my in-person 5E game.
• I ran 12 sessions of my remote 5E game.
• I ran one playtest session of Vanity Frankenstein 5E.
• I played in 16 sessions of @Swarmkeeper's online Wildemount game
• I played in a Session #0 for an in-person FR game starting this coming week.

I also painted 110 minis and made a bunch of scatter terrain that I did not keep close track of.

Not as much as I'd like:

Playing? 13 sessions of our monthly online "Tomb of Annihilation" campaign (one special in-person session).

DM? Three sessions for my kids and friends, one for students

Ran one game of HeroQuest for my kids, taught my son to play Magic The Gathering and played one real game with him. Other board/card games, no idea.

ETA: oh! I went to see "Twenty-Sided Tavern"; does that count too?

I took it as the OP bragging about how much they got done, as opposed to lazy shlubs like me. I managed to prep and run about 25 D&D sessions this year, but thanks to locating a local place that sells old NES and Sega Genesis games, I haven't done nearly as much I should have...

We played most of the weekly games. They last 2+ hours but sometimes we spend too much time yakking. I did go to the local convention for 1 day and was the DM for a session. It was fun, but not doing it this year.

In our "Ghourmand Vale" campaign, in which I was a player:

• Ran through the last six adventure sessions, finishing off the campaign
• Wrote two in-game songs about our exploits

In our "Middle of Elsewhere" campaign, in which I'm a player:

• Built individual 3-ring binders for each new PC in the new campaign
• Ran through the first 13 adventure sessions, in a campaign that will likely run about 3 years
• Ran through a "between adventures" investigation where my cleric PC tried learning about the background of the plane-shifting village we're all a part of

In my "Down to Erthe" campaign, which I DM:

• Built individual 3-ring binders for each new PC (and the NPC healer) in the new campaign
• Ran through the first 12 adventure sessions, in a campaign that will likely run about 5 years
• Wrote up the next nine adventures (there will be 100 in all), which will get the PCs to 5th level

And I wrote up the Story Hour posts for each of the adventures listed above.

Finished DMing the Baldur's Gate II campaign (about 75 sessions), then after a short break to intro a new player to D&D, kicked into the ToB expansion content. Probably about 35 2.5-3 hour sessions IRL this year.
Got closer to finishing the full playtest/playthrough of Dracula's Curse (CV2), which is slow because it's PBP.
Wrote and most of the way through playtesting a level 20+ defense/combat module.
Started and nearly finished a Labors of Hercules campaign (writing: 11.2/12; playtest 5/12 complete).
Played some play by post. We're almost finished with the Red Hand of Doom!
