[QUOTE="TheSword, post: 9820745, member: 6879661"] Good Question 2025 was a good year I would say. I’ve phrased it as the Stop, Start, Continue approach we do at work. [U][B]Stopped (or should have stopped)[/B][/U] [LIST] [*]I backed the 2nd edition Alien RPG kickstarter. With a wash of enthusiasm. Then when I started reading around some of the previous 1e modules got a serious body horror reaction and felt pretty nauseous. Totally put me off. It’s all sitting in its shrink wrap unopened. [*]I stopped using hosting services for VTT and paying extra for no good reason and switched to self hosting. Just took some research. [*]Also cut back on some Patreons for maps and tokens. Definitely got a bit too excited there in 2025. [*]Finally made a concerted effort not to engage in the politics/polarizing topics on EN World and spend more time talking about the game and campaigns I like. [/LIST] [B][U]Started in 2025[/U][/B] [LIST] [*]I went to the UK Games Expo for the first time this year, despite only living 20 mins away. Which I enjoyed and would definitely plan better this time.
