In 2023, I listed out the games I was interested in getting to the table over the span of the year.
Hereโs how I did:
โ Noblis/Glitch
โ๏ธ Ars Magica. Nice tight three-session run in my old Mystic Isles campaign.
โ Legacy: Life Among the Ruins
๐คท๐พโโ๏ธ DeGenesis - Session zero, made characters, tough scheduling
โ Blackbirds
โ Invisible Sun
๐คท๐พโโ๏ธ Double Cross - Session zero..then collapse.
โ Jiangshi: Blood in the Banquet Hall
โ๏ธ Ruin Masters - played in a one-shot
โ Fading Suns
โ๏ธ Nahual Played in a one-shot.
โ Coriolis
โ Fate RPG - Setting paralysis
โ๏ธ Tenra Bansho Zero - 3 separate runs.
โ๏ธ Atma - 5 runs, and I bought the season two expansion!
Iโm working on The 2023 Mad Jay Picks post. Hereโs the list of games I played in 2023, the โnominees,โ if you will!
Twilight 2000 - Over 50 sessions before we hit the pause button.
Burning Wheel
Miseries & Misfortunes, three games of it at Burning Wheel Con 2023
Classic Traveller on Twitch/ActualPlay
Star Dogs, White Star, and Xplorers with Rich Rogers
5E Neverwinter Adventures three sessions starting with 3rd-level characters.
Apocalypse World: Burned Over
CY-BORG
Tenra Bansho Zero - such a great game.
Rolemaster!! Such a good run of this game!
Old School Essentials - small runs prepping for The Halls of Arden Vul 2024
Cortex Prime - a favorite household system.
The Year Ahead ๐คท๐พโโ๏ธ
For sure, Iโll get a lot of play out of Household RPG. Iโm plotting a run at The Halls of Arden Vul with Cortex Prime. Atma stays in the โReady for Con Tablesโ toolbelt. IIRC Moria from Free League drops this year and Iโll make space to run that. I think I just have to pick a BIG game, prep some pitch materials, and push through inertia to make it go.
