Halloween is my favorite holiday, for a lot of reasons. Some of that is because it's a great time of year for buying cheap plastic spiders to use in RPG sessions, and in some is because it comes just 3 days after my birthday. Because of that last fact, I tend to reflect on the past 12 months right around every Halloween. This year I just turned 40, so I'm doing a lot more reflecting that usual.
Sometime next month, I'll be marking the one year anniversary of my first Pathfinder-compatible product released as a member of Super Genius Games. For the past year, SGG has released at least one product every week, and come the 52-week mark we'll have more than 52 Pathfinder-compatible products on the market. That's a remarkable achievement, and it's one we didn't originally set out to accomplish. But as the weeks stretched on, and our weekly streak grew, Hyrum, Stan! and I got very proud of that success.
A lot of things have happened to me and Super Genius in the past year. We joined Monte Cook in producing Dungeon-A-Day. We released the Adventure's Handbook as a print product in the hobby distribution channel. We lost Hyrum to Paizo itself, and had to cheer and cry at the same time. Personally I was asked to be a guest of honor at Gen Con, and then to be a guest and speaker at NeonCon. But even with all that, it's the year of game products I'm proudest of. Starting next month, what I'm going to focus on and celebrate is more than 52 PDFs in 52 weeks. It's an anniversary that means more to me this year than my birthday, and I'll be talking about it more as the month goes on.
