...Thanks for appending your year in gaming to mine!<br /><br />"I'm less impressed with players and other GMs knowledge or inability to read /understand GURPS."<br /><br />You can substitute any game system you like for GURPS in that sentence. I played AD&D with guys who didn't understand the rules, Rolemaster with guys who didn't understand the rules (and ran it when I didn't, at first), Champions with guys who didn't understand the rules, etc.<br /><br />And most of them didn't really stick, either.<br /><br /><br />And I've very glad to hear you are painting and enjoying it!Peter Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246000382321978462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817710432110712270.post-32536592650360260222018-01-01T17:55:41.173-05:002018-01-01T17:55:41.173-05:00My year in gaming 2017
Dungeon Fantasy
I switche...My year in gaming 2017<br /><br />Dungeon Fantasy<br /><br />I switched over to almost exclusively running GURPS DF (from exclusively running Discworld RPG).<br /><br />I've probably now run more GURPS games this year than I have total in my whole life. It's surprising how much I know specific rules and forget or don't know others. <br /><br />I'm less impressed with players and other GMs knowledge or inability to read /understand GURPS.<br /><br />I run this as an open game. Something like a dozen different players have come through. Some have stayed. Most haven't. <br /><br />I also ran three Madness Dosier games at a convention.<br /><br />Playing games<br /><br />I played zero RPGs. Australia is from what I can see somewhat different from the rest of the world (Or just the USA that I see/read about). D&D5ed seems to well and truly have cemented itself as the game of choice. There is Pathfinder left over and a rump of Call of Cthulhu.<br /><br />In other words none of the RPG games Ive purchased or wanted to play in the last ten years are available to play.<br /><br />Boardgames<br /><br />The state of boardgames seems much better. Ive played dozens of well made games. Considering that I thought boardgames were a dead end six months ago thats a huge turn around.<br /><br />Computer and video gaming<br /><br />My old PC broke (spctacularly) now with an upgrade I'm getting back into PC gaming (slowly)<br /><br /><br />Minis<br /><br />Ive started painting for the first time since my teens. Very enjoyable. I have neither the skill or patience for fine detail. But I dont need that just churning out minis is where I'm at.Unachimbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04873952842828774048noreply@blogger.com
