The Playtest beta is limited enough in options at present to make it a manageable affair for me and I do like some of the innovations - the 3 action combat economy for starters. If the interest is there, I will be happy to referee more of that system in 2019. I ran three sessions of the Pathfinder 2e Playtest beta this past year and my players seem to have enjoyed the changes from PF 1e. Stafford sold me a copy of the beautiful new 5.2 edition this past Gencon. Pendragon has been on my favorite game list since I grabbed the 1st edition box set off the shelf and played it later that same day. Stafford accomplished in this life was to bring his King Arthur Pendragon RPG back under the Chaosium tent. If I don't run RQ:G, I will be looking to play in a session or three. Stafford and the new RuneQuest: Roleplaying in Glorantha book is awesome in appearance and content. RuneQuest is back with Chaosium thanks to Mr. I just added the beautiful Masks of Nyarlathotep 7e slipcase edition to my collection and I may bring it (or some other CoC module) to the table in 2019. Call of Cthulhu 7e is my favorite edition of a favorite game going back to 1981 and the supporting game aids being released for 7e today are nothing short of awesome. Under the renewed leadership of Greg Stafford, Rick Meints, Sandy Petersen and friends Chaosium is once again turning out the quality products I learned to expect from Chaosium back in the day. It seems my homebrew sandbox gets bigger each year and I have had several thoughts I added this past year that can be developed into Dreadmoor game sessions fairly quickly. I have been with that system for over four decades and still enjoy it. My love for the White Box and the OSR remains as strong as ever and I will be jumping at every chance I get to run old school games again in 2019. (I'll say more on that thought in a future post.) I like the way Kevin Madison ran the game and I think I may be able to live with the FFG funky dice/narrative mechanic as long as I am the one running it. I watched Kevin Madison run the new Legends of the Five Rings on his Youtube channel Dungeon Musings and as a result I recently purchased that game, despite it using a variant of FFG's Narrative Dice System. Conan 2d20 is still on my short list, so I hope to see it at the table in 2019 (as referee or player). I picked up the Mongoose Traveller 2e this past year and have a mini campaign setting in mind I hope to run in 2019. and frankly creating and leveling up PCs can be a chore in RM (more on that project in a future post).

I will use pregens for a couple reasons - it gives me more control of PC abilities so the session can feel like M.E. Rolemaster is an older system which I think does a nice job at the table if the referee knows the game well and has prepared the charts. Tabletop role-play games I hope to run this coming year include a one-shot of Rolemaster set in 4th Age M.E.
FFG's Lord of the Rings LCG continues to provide thrills as well. I have enjoyed Legacy of Dragonholt as both a cooperative group experience and in solo play this past year and hope to finish it in 2019. Scythe is another board game I was introduced to last year that I would like to play more of. I have not got to play enough Gloomhaven yet and am hoping that game is again in my 2019 future. The Castles & Crusades campaign run by a good friend is starting up again and we are already a couple sessions into that. Looking forward into 2019 I am excited about several things. Eric was a driving force behind the Legends of the Shining Jewel living campaign and ran the biweekly Pathfinder game in which I frequently played over the last decade and he was a good friend. Stafford founded The Chaosium to publish White Bear and Red Moon introducing the hobby to his world of Glorantha which has been the setting for several games including RuneQuest and HeroQuest. I will especially miss Greg Stafford at Gencon 2019. The hobby continues to lose members of the old guard, those who were present for the beginning and who have shepherded the hobby along these many decades. Yes, it has been a good year.Īs with many good things, however, the year 2018 has produced some darker events. The online streaming and vlog community put out some informative commentary on the game and some entertaining gameplay video. The hobby saw the publication of many really top shelf products, both board games and TTRPGs. I got to travel south and spend an extended visit with my oldest and dearest gamer buddies. I played what seems like a good many games, both at the convention and with my home groups. I attended both Origins and Gencon and hung out for extended periods with good friends who I only see at conventions. In many ways 2018 has been a good year for me and the tabletop gaming hobby.
