Post your 2011 gaming resolutions here, and don't get mad if some of us steal some really good ones.

Time to finish Rise of the Runelords. Also means it's time to decide if to use Karzoug as written or make him a Red Dragon (I've never gotten to use my Colossal Red Dragon model).
Which leads to resolution #2: I'll be restarting my AP subscription with the new year to begin collecting Carrion Crown. While I expect tons of spooky goodness from Paizo, I also mean to design a campaign to put the fear into a jaded group of gamers!
|
In our Council of Thieves Game:
To become the 'Kingmaker' of Westcrown, and from there become a power in Cheliax.
In PFS play:
To get two more PCs to level 12 and then help run PFS at Gencon with a benevolent hand of iron.
In other RPGs:
Get a Star Wars D6 campaign started.
In real life:
To finally build the Death Star III, and from there rule the world entire. With a non benevolent iron hand.
1) Either motivate my current ROTR group to finally care about the plot...or find a new one.
2) Complete Dragoneye and Archfiends.
3) Complete Rebel Storm.
4) GM a Victoriana Campaign.
5) Play some Axis & Allies Mini games.
6) Buy more 3d bits and pieces terrain.
7) GM a Star Wars PBP Campaign.
8) Expand the RPG room.
9) Read all Pathfinder Tales novels.
10) Get my Pathfinder/Gamemastery collection complete (until something new comes out) 6 publications missing...
1. Revise my NaNoWriMo Fantasy story.
2. Write some Pathfinder FanFiction.
3. Play instead of GM.
4. (Big One) Make time to actually read all the stuff I receive from my Pathfinder subscriptions!
|
1. write up some first-level pregens and release them to the public (eg, find more time to explore HeroLab!);
2. write and submit a Pathfinder Society scenario;
3. play or GM (resurrect) an Adventure Path;
4. play a non-Core, non-APG (eg Bestiary 2 or third-party) race (or class);
5. homebrew TORG campaign using Pathfinder RPG / Pathfinder Modern rules;
Admittedly, this is more a wishlist than NY resolutions - some may happen, some may never happen, but it's nice to articulate them nonetheless.
Cheers,
DarkWhite

1. Buy new bookshelves (mine have quite literally collapsed under the weight of books on them, so some metal shelving units are in order me thinks).
2. Get back into painting miniatures, both fantasy figures like the awesome Pathfinder range and my WFB Chaos army, and start on a force for Warhammer 40k.
Finish up my terrain that is half started.
Finish painting my unpainted minis.
Run Jade Regent.
Win RPG Superstars. ;)

Now these are two resolutions I can get behind. I also need new shelves and more minis painting!
Finish a campaign (for the first time) no matter what! Or continue to work on it if it goes beyond 2011.
A better understanding of the other players: their motivation, their fun-aspect of the game etc.
To get my foot in the door, somewhere, somehow.
Have you entered RPG Superstar? :)
To find a new gaming group.

I submitted my entry yesterday, and my fingers are crossed!
1. Finish my current Curse of the Crimson Throne campaign; the first campaign I will have run from the beginning to its end. :) Just about half-way through.
2. Survive Rise of the Runelords... Damn.
3. Not sleep at PaizoCon so I don't miss out on any of the awesome games (and play in James' game again if he runs one this year). In this, find the few remaining signatures I am missing to retire my well-loved and worn 1st edition CRBs.
4. Run my first tabletop game! EEEEEEEEEEE! I am totally taking suggestions as to what to run first.
5. Finish collecting the remaining books I need of the APs.
6. Lose another 40+ pounds AND keep it off!! (No more snacks for me, that's for sure.)
7. Submit an entry for RPGSS 2012. (Still have time to do it for 2011... Think brain, THINK!)
To find a new gaming group.
....in Germany....they speak nerd there right?
To find or shanghai enough fellow furry geeks to start a pathfinder Dragonstar like campaign. Local to me of course that way when I throw in all the races I created for the Pathfinder Database folks will want to play them. I still want to do science fantasy space opera but there will be no dragons as ruling emperors, no drow, no duergar, no mind flayers, the idea of a shadow zone is too good to pass up but I have my own ideas as to what goes on there and what nasties come from there. The main idea is more Star Wars hears the Call of Cthulhu using whatever monsters are in the SRD that I have not already come up with. I'm waiting for my code to become valid before I buy the psionics book for Pathfinder but that's going into the mix too. I'm also going to try and adapt the Tome of Secrets and what I have from the Genius Guides to this as well. especially what's been published as a printed book.
To challenge my players even more.

This year it's all about "Less is More".
As something of an alpha-magpie-OCD-collecting-gamer I'm trying to streamline my hobbies, and achieve mastery and enjoyment out of the things I truly enjoy instead of always losing focus in the clutter because I'm caught up in the new shiny hotness.
1) Reduce and streamline my RPG collection to the 3 or 4 that scratch multiple itches. Pathfinder, 40K RPG line, working on the others.
2) Get down to one CCG/LCG - Game of Thrones or Lord of the Rings
3) Kick all the other miniature wargames to the curb and focus in on 40K - more painting, more modelling. (Sorry Malifaux, et al)
4) Less videogames that I'm really not interested in, but feel the need to play because of their AAA status.
5) Boardgames streamlined to the ones that actually see table time or best represent a mechanic I enjoy.
All of this really is to make more time to:
6) Play more :)
1. I landed my job on the opposite side of the country after starting the final adventure in the Rise of the Runelords campaign. My players still get together and are currently running Kingmaker, but I want to finish up that campaign, even if it's over the internet.
2. Play more WoW and DDO.
3. Not be sick during the days we're supposed to be playing the Serpent's Skull.
4. Finish novel.
5. Get novel published.
6. Golarion video game built on the Neverwinter Nights 2 platform.
7. Contribute new material to official Pathfinder products.

4. Run my first tabletop game! EEEEEEEEEEE! I am totally taking suggestions as to what to run first.
Might I suggest Dust Tactics, which you can get hear at the Paizo store (and use your holiday discount to boot).
After several years haitus I finally get to play some Space Hulk next week!

To have a very successful Legend Of The Five Rings RPG (the d10 version) on Monday nights. That game has a very different feel to D&D/Pathfinder and I'm looking forward to expanding my ability to think on the spot plus allow my players to make up stories within the game (in addition to me storytelling) thereby giving material for me to build off of right away and vica verca.
Very exciting and scary for me!

Surely m'lord baron is jesting; aren't You, sir, already one of the most influential nobles in our glorious nation? (And now that I mentioned it, perhaps m'lord baron could put in a good word for me and get our Blessed Majestrix to pardon me? After all, am I not the wronged party here, a victim of my own kind heart in trusting that treacherous blackguard, KaeYoss?)
Hmm...New year's gaming resolutions...

Where in MN? I might have some openings soon.
I resolve to actually finish my RotRL AP!

Don't say yes to any new campaigns, unless it is replacing a current one. The only exception is maybe running a Star Wars Saga game to introduce my children (6 and 8 yrs old) to roleplaying later in the year.
Paint at least one miniature a week on average. Buy miniatures at a rate of one to every two painted to get through some of the large amount of unpainted lead on my painting desk.
